All this is very interesting. So should i just stick with my hollow genuine items cuz they are lighter etc?

Nope, the weight difference you are looking at is less than 1 kg per wheel. The handling improvement is FAR greater than a miniscule 1 kg weight penalty. All of which is sprung weight on a Skyline. Have a good shit before you go racing, that'll save the 1 kg, with some change.

Will the dampers/springs be ok as the only mod to inhibit body roll? It impresses me when i find out things like the hollow bars etc on the GTR are standard.

Nope, stabiliser bars are the best bang for buck suspension upgrade you can make for improved handling. Road or track. Why do you think every decent race car up to F1 has driver adjustable stabiliser bars? Simply because they are the best method tuning the handling balance.

It was a damn fine car for its day, not to mention now!

Yep, and the factory race cars had upgraded (adjustable) stabiliser bars.

cheers

Completely agree that the handling improvement outweighs the weigth difference, but I think the weight difference is more than 1kg going from standard to 24mm solid.

More in the range of ~4kg/bar isn't it? Afterall, the standard rear bar is 21% of the weight of the solid 24mm Whiteline bar.
