removed everything down to the sound proofing muck on the floor, 4w steer long gone, all unused brackets bolts heat shields.

fuel tank when today and put a fuel cell in and that alone will be the best part of 15kg i think.

if rules allow for it maybe remove the rad support and front and rear reinforcement bars and replace with chromolly tubing. also maybe start drilling holes in flat non structural body panels and dimple die'ing it.

Yes that all long gone.

door windows winders motors etc are gone door trims too still need to take the hole saw to the door frames though.

I do have a substancial cage in the car though so there would be 30 odd kgs in that.

Looks like some gram light wheels and carbon fibre bonnet and boot are next

a few other things you may or may not have taken out,

rear wiper and motor.

In mine I stripped back the entire wiring loom and removed all the excess wiring that is now not used. There was a substancial ammount of "free" weight there. You can halve the wiring under the dash easily.

ABS been removed and the assosiated wiring??

Running a full exhaust still or side pipe??

There is not a great deal you can do without besides the ABS, air conditioning etc its more about saving weight.

Besides the obvious, you can strip the loom and rewire with the bare essentials. you'd be suprised how much wiring is unused once you remove the HICAS, ABS etc.

Single turbo conversions are lighter than typical twins.

Stick with alloy piping if possible.

Carbon canisters can be removed as well as the piping

Heater hoses and other water lines if you have stripped the inside out

Washer bottle and hoses.

Smaller battery

You can pretty much take anything out thats not needed if your building a circuit car.

If its a track car then i think you would be silly to remove ABS.

Thats only my 2c...along with the fact that everbody seems to be obsessed with removing weight, which is fair enough. But no one ever seems to consider that you can do a hell of a lot with relocating where the weight is located. ie moving it lower in the car or into the cabin/centre of the car

you have a pretty comprehensive cage in it though.

Mine only had a rear jap half when it was last weighed. besides the carbon pannels mine is as stripped as your car.

There is always the chance of errors on the scales behalf as well I guess (public weigh bridge in my last case)

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
