All my looms weighed 23kgs including a few relays, factory fuse boxes, junctions etc etc.

Ive taken basicly all of that out and put in a very basic engine loom (haltech) and a few lengths of 7 core trailer cable weighing 5Kgs maximum. I also put the entire thing in factory looking condute from super cheap just for apperance sake.

Yeah no problem at all duncan. Pm me what your planning and when you want to do it.

Ok fellas, you've removed so much sh*t from your 32 GTRs that i think you're approaching the practical limits.

Modding every single car component in some way really leaves little left to do, apart from perhaps a carbon monocoque.

I bet you'd be using 'lightweight motor oil' if you could!

any chance i could get a dvd copy too! i would fix you up for it! :)

consider it done at nil cost.

Im getting Stace to do the covers for the DVD's too, so they will be nice and proffesional.

may look at bootleging them on here and making a small donation to SAU with a percentage of the proceeds.

evo looks fantastic with the wide body kit too!!

i see Squeeky been sending some quiet pic's here and there by the sound of it LOL. I think it will be on HI octane web site soon. We had some issues with the gearbox on the weekend so it didnt show its true form, look out when it does.

My entire wiring harness weighs 15.5kg

Clarification 1, that incudes relays, fuse boxes, all the brackets, clips, nuts, washers and bolts that hold them in.

Clarification 2, the 19 kgs is a net reduction, we took out around 25 kgs and added about 6 kgs

Improved Production regs don't allow the "easy" weight reductions (eg; CF bonnet, boot, doors etc). So we have to use what ever freedoms are allowed to their max, for example clutches are "free" hence the use of a 7" quad plate carbon clutch with alloy flywheel and dissengagement hydraulics costing around $10K.

Cheers

Whats the fuel tank worth?

and an average weight of a 50L cell for the boot?

i'm getting bored at home and the cars telling me it wants to go on a diet. tho i'm probably going to remove alot more.

a 5kg titanium exhaust will be on its way.

removing all the 4ws pumps and lines unless, there is something the lines are good for.

might get a wholesaw onto the bar reos

i still have A/c too. but thinking of keeping it for them hot track days where i'll be the coolest guy out :(

removing the fuel tank only to fit a 50L fuel cell seems a bit out there. unless you are planning some enduros? 30 or 40l maybe, but if it's a street car just leave the fuel tank where it is. if it's a track only car then fit a 20 or 30L. no point doing half measure. then all you get is not much weight saved on track, and much more inconvenience on street.

i've seen someone use a chisel before and didnt like that. took him a long time and lots of swearing.'

as for heatgun, that would make for much stickyness. tho might be used in combo with ice too..

ice. sounds nice and hard should work ok i think..

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
