hey guys im on a quest to lighten up my R33 gts-t a bit, now i know the basic stuff like rear seats,spare wheel..but removing the rear seat is kinda noticable.. ive heard of sound deadening being taken out and the car losing quite a bit of weight from it.

just wondering where it all is? im not fussed on a excess noise in the cabin, i actually prefer it lol so all help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks =]

take off your inner door panel/cover (The one thats on the inside with the window buttons and all), then start chopping the doors inner metal fram, put inner door panel back on. You'd be surprised how much lighter it is, but....safety wise..it aint a smart move

lol i dont think i'll go that far, but thanks for the input anyway! errm another question to ask. ive just got a power fc and im going to get the car tuned fairly soon, how much power from standard will be looking at?

mods ive got are:

fmic

splitfires

split dump with 3" piping all the way to a cannon (no mufflers)

boosting 5>7psi

To lighten it

Take out airbags

Would definitely recommend this to anyone, just a waste of space. May as well take out the brake rotors as well, 4x a lot of excess weight right there!

Don't bother wasting your time and money.

Your car is close enough to stock with those simple mods. You only starting going for serious weight reductionif you are already making 400+hp and you want your car to be a serious track weapon.

I always LOL at some of the people on these forums.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
