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

    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
    • Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)
    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
