The motor won't snap at 10psi, the turbo probably won't even snap at 10psi, should be good for 12-14psi (may snap at 14psi) but there's another one for $200 in the FS area.

+1 for sticking in 12psi. Why bother with engine management if you arent going to stick in some proper boost and make the most of it.

here's where it got me. 277atw :rolleyes:

If you want to strip out your car, then do as I'm doing ;)

Rip out all the interior

Yeah, the cops noticed it didn't have much interior, and a half cage, but didn't believe me about the coffee either :)

reo bar in the bumper is good for about 6kg, but it becomes illegal once you remove it as you have compromised the front end....6kg doesnt sound like heaps.....but its at the very very very front, makes a slight different, ac can go, so then can the condensor, boot trims, spare, jack etc. rear body trims, then it starts getting difficult...wat luxuries can you live without......how much time you going to spend driving....its all bout compromise at this point....lighter seats..removing non-essential bolts is good at removing a few kg, but then you drive down the road thinking....is my gearbox going to drop out coz i took out that many bolts....so i dont recommend it....lighter rims, lighter lug nuts (can be good for a kg in total), carbon fiber boot and bonnet,....thats about the MAX you'd go for a street car....

the entire ac system was good for 24kg in my 84 ma61 Supra (so compressor, brackets, condensor, drier, front end lines)

For sure ^ You don't need a floor either. Cut that bitch out and just hang onto the steering wheel.

Lol, reminds me of the first fast n furious when that super street spec chequer plate goes flying.

Danger to teh manifold.. lol

As for real weight saving the guys have allready said all the easy street spec stuff,

your next step would be replacing all glass with polly, replacing big metal fuel tank with a fuel cell. Ultra light battery, carbon shafts, Ti exaust, Stripped loom and the list goes on..

    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
