use acrylic or poly carb for ur front windscreen sidewindows and rearscreen.

if u havent notice most drag cars have weights at the rear to aid balance at launch, we are talking at least 50-70kgs of steel sheets and blue chip rocks LOL.

stereo is f**k all compared to other shit u can remove. just like aero mirrors, ppl spend 200-300 on cf mirrors to reduce 0.0000000000001% of drag coefficient WTF? i hate this kinda of bullshit of what ppl say, keep ur original mirrors and fold them in, that will give u the same effect.

without the stereo u might save 2-4kg. but cruising satifaction is priceless mate.

PS DRIVE NAKED!!!! makes up the weight of ur stereo. i think this is legal LOL since u are techincaly "in or on" ur own property.

I cop BULK amounts of shit, coz I have a big hp drift car and its not "drift spec" witha fully stripped interior n no stereo...

Double Din Fluoro pink minidisc/cd player, splits in the doors 6x9's in the parcel tray... who the hell cares about 3kg when you have upwards of 500horsies.

I even still have WORKING digital climate control... they can bitch all they want, when im listening to tunes and drifting in 18degree goodness in the middle of summer we will see whose smarter :rofl:

I checked my rule book and i couldnt find the section on civil construction materials, I bet an SFI spec'ed bag of bluemetal would be expensive. :rofl:

Believe it or not? Ok, not. Unsecured bags of heavy shit are not allowed in a race vehicle at any level. Rules and regs, (particularly safety ones) are few and far between in Japanese drag racing.

LOL ..i believe you

Back in the day...1970 ish, a couple of american pro stock cars were known to have taillights crafted from lead to aid in weight transfer. Sox and Martin from memory. But i'm reasonably sure that ANDRA scruitineers would knock back the blue metal plan.

GOLD!!!

I don't even have a stereo in my skyline.

When my GTS-T was a daily driver, it had no stereo. After a little while you get used to it, and don't miss it. Just open up all the windows and enjoy the car. The car has a stereo now that it's a weekender, which is a bit backwards, but oh well.

So yeah, if you get rid of it, you will get used to it.

If you watch Getaway in stolkholm you'll know about the ITSFUN Porsche, that's a race car with a stezza. They just gave it a huge overhall, and it's still got the stezza in it. Search google for itsfun3

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
