ok, so I know a lot of people are interested in weights.

so far the car will have lost about 125kg with the following mods:

  • lightweight fibreglass bucket racing seat, both OEM seats removed
  • interior including airbags but excluding dash and door cards removed
  • CF bumper and Aeromotions wing
  • AP rotors
  • 18 inch forged wheels and michelin slicks

I am hopeful we can find another 100-120 kg to remove before adding the cage.

The Racetech seats were too heavy! when you are chasing weight savings every kg counts.

sent them back for these Carbon beauties from OMP (HTE Carbon series) which are half the weight of the others.

installing tomorrow...

midrange torque and power have improved but I am not sure the top end is that much better off currently, still working on it. Maybe Trent can chime in as I havent seen the latest graphs. who knows, might be a different turbo setup in the future.

doors are for weight savings. going for custom carbon door cards and dash to try and knock off another 60kg. also replacing glass

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
