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.

Guys,

when removing the carbon canister do you just block the outlets or do they need to be reconnected somewhere

chromolly is 1/3 the price. who has the weight figures of standard vs chromolly v cf?

concept. will await this reply!!

and would like to know about the carbon canister too. mines floating around somewhere in my engine bay hardly attached to anything

I don't get the rush for the c/f tailshaft unless you have too much money to spend.

chromolly is 1/3 the price. who has the weight figures of standard vs chromolly v cf?

Because I just want to be able to say to girls:

"Yes that's right ladies......... I have a carbon shaft. Form an orderly line to the left, and no pushing."

either way its still weight i want to get rid of as thats my main goal for now.

and on the plus side, single piece shaft rather than the current.

and barron, a light weight clutch/flywheel would be somewhere 5x (+++) the cost of the shaft correct?

No Angus i just put a 4.2 kg alloy flywheel on for 500$

Is there anywhere in australia that makes them? Or just US shops? I'd like one, but I doubt they're off the shelf items for my car.

hey, since my car has a r34 gearbox in a r32 i need an odd sized one also.

so get your length of your shaft right and i can forward on to him if your interested. as i've told him i need an odd sized one too.

$1400 !

Thats very good.

People spend more than that on making thier GTR look faggy.

A carbon tailshaft is well worth the money. Manufacturers are using them now on fairly cheap sports cars for the range of benifits they offer.

I've got this on my list of mods for my R32 GTR bunky and I'm only building a 300rwkw car.

any chance one of you guys know how much a bare and empty r32 gtr fuel tank weighs ?

Titanium exhaust = 23 ks

but surely you can get lighter exhausts? i've got a 3" zorst that weighs 12kgs ( not inlcuding cat, front pipe, dump pipe)

Edited by Dan_J
he was saying 23kgs is the amount of weight saved. most titanium systems would be under 6kg.

oh ok thanks for clearing that up

at a guess i would say a bare gtr fuel tank is 12 to 14 kg.

you wouldnt have a spare one that u cud just wack on sum scales to double check? :laugh:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
