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:

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
