lol. i only weigh 64kg.

so mid to high 200's with the basic mods that i have? i could run 10psi as i have a r32 actuator kicking about but im just worried about the turbo spitting its impellor fins.. and i dont have the cash to upgrade to a hks turbo. i did a boost run this afternoon an it made exactly 7psi on full throttle with standard 25 actuator in 4th gear with no boost controller or stock boost solenoid, just straight boost to the actuator.

Seriously, whip the spare out, any spare tools. Given the weight of the car and the hp your making it wont make much difference. Fibreglass gurads and hood might help a bit.

This thread is halarious.

The only "practical" things to remove to save a bit of weight (however given that your car is stock I don't see the point as you will notice nothing.)

Spare wheel

Factory jack and tools

Factory floormats

Boot lining

Problem is the rear of the car is not the main area that you want a weight saving. The front is where all the weight is on a R33 and what causes it to understeer, thats the hard area to remove weight from.

Honestly one of the best upgrades weight saving wise on a R33 is replacing the factory bonnet with a lighter carbon item. Good weight saving of 10 odd kg (dependent on quality of bonnet) and you are removing weight from the front. Problem is the legality side of things and the quality of the bonnet.

There are heaps of weight saving oppotunities if safety and legality aint a concern, hence for a track car.

When you say Alloytech do you mean the Alloytech V6 found in Holden Commodores?

If so I don't think that counts for the purposes of this thread :blink:

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
