West Australian DPI shows weight of FB special sedan as 1068 KG's.
This has a profound impact on the maximum engine capacity allowed.
I am trying to gather info from all states as to given weights shown on that states rego papers.

All info shown on net is 1130 - 1133 kg for FB special sedan.
I need to take all info i can gather to our authorities here in Perth to prove otherwise.

April 22 2006 general sharing advice and experience. Topic - FB or EK Wagon, earlyholdenfan from Vic says QLD trans shows FB as 1099kg, EK as 1120kg.

May 25 2006 body, paint and panel. Topic - Weights of a sedan. EK283 says NSW RTA shows 1120kg.
This is probably for an EK, we all know the FB is a couple of pounds heavier due to strips etc. But, i need the actual official weights for an FB sedan from other states.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Leigh.

Gday Leigh
I not sure if we even have that type of law in SA.
There is a standard procedure to fit any red motor to an early,
Anything bigger than that is taken on its own merits.
I've never heard of a power to weight formula.
