The more appropriate question is: is it really that HEAVY?

Read around some of the other threads on this and you'll discover that it's not a real weight saver. Skylines don't typically have that much sound deadening to begin with, if you want to track it full time then that may matter but with a daily driver there's a hell of a lot more stuff you could remove to save significantly more weight.

I'm considering adding more sound deadening to mine to make it more pleasant in the cabin, so yes you can buy sheets that you simply apply with a heat gun in a few key areas.

Remember that it's also low in the car and well spread, so its kilo shedding benefits will be minimal. Just be sure to not add cheap, large rims and overkill sized brakes as this unnecesssary unsprung weight will be far more detrimental to your car's performance than the sound deadening.

Feel free to call me wrong though

removing sound deadener does increase road noise/diff noise/gearbox noise etc. especially when you remove back seats. over all volume of sound deadener in my 32 was not much at all, can prob lose just as much weight by not having lunch lol.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
