dude it's monaroparts :-)

I think some of the weight differences come about in HJ because of motor/gearbox combos (ie 6cyl to 8), tyre combos (xx7/xu3) and just being incorrect. The HQ series had the same gmv whatever, I think the early HJ the same until Holden was forced to state the correct GMV based on the component weight and tyre combinations.

Oz does that mean that if you put a different motor in it, it could have been a bigger motor (legally) due to the increased load rating..

I remember talking about this ages ago. If you put a V8 in 6 car you have effectively stuffed up the GVM. So the increase in GVM is achieved purely through a change in tyres, XX7-XU3. However if you optioned 6 leaf one tonner springs it had no effect on the GVM. Makes sense...... not.

GVW is set so that cars have designated carrying capacity. This is 15.5cwt for utes, 14.5cwt for vans and 10cwt for those with passenger tyres. 1 x cwt is about 50kg so that gives you 775kg, 725kg and 500kg respectively. The GVW is the weight of the vehicle plus the load, so thet GVW is set to suit. I haven't fully solved the 1800kg v 1860kg in HJ/HX utes yet (I think it is an A/C thing) but one day I will. I now know why reduced GVW was introduced but i'll keep this one for the book (makes no difference to helping ID so a secret I can keep for now).
