2600 lbs???? BS Cha Cha, Ask.com, What do they know?

 

Wagons are between 2,072 and 2,138 pounds depending on options and years. 2,600 pounds with a couple of fat chicks in the back.... maybe.

Bucket load of info from Google.

 

This one shows a curb weight of 2127lbs which is in the range DM quoted and is about average for the various weight ranges.

From my experience, fat chicks tend to swallow more if you know what I mean :)

I would imagine the wagon would be heavier... If I remember correctly, my 4dr. is around that weight. I would think the larger wagon with a solid rear-axel would add more weight.

At work ATM.

 

Ill go through my collection of Datsun books when I get home in about 8 hours and see what they have to say. 

 

Having now done a Lbs to Kg conversion, it does seem a bit on the light side I agree.

Not much luck from the two Aussie Datsun tech manuals I can find so far.

 

This one.....

Despite referring to the wagon in some parts has no weight specs for the goon. Shows the sedan weight as.....

And I found a link to a fairly ordinary .pdf copy of this manual here......

This is the other Aussie tech manual I can locate at the moment.....

Unfortunately, despite having a bit more tech stuff on the Goons than the other manual, no info on the weight for the sedan or goon.

I would only consider the factory manuals for that. Chilton and Haynes just parrot numbers referenced elsewhere. Sedans are roughly 2,000 - 2,100 and goons about 100 lbs more. Unless paying for repairs by the pound this is close enough.
