Benji, you should remove all the paint off your car... Would be a saving of several Kgs I would think, and about as useful as removing boot carpet and number plate plastic ;)

What are you talking about that 70g should take at least .5 of a second off a track time :laugh:

Then spray in yellow and get all the chicks eh? ;)

Hows your beast going Ant? Any results? I am excited!

:whistling:

Hahahaha.

If you think about it, weight reduction is the CHEAPEST way, to improve power to weight ratio.

E.g. Stock S15 = 147kw/1200kg = 0.1225kw at flywheel per kg of weight

now if I was to delete 150kg out of the car....then this is what would happen

147kw/1050kg = 0.14kw at flywheel per kg of weight

To put it in perspective

I'd need to be making 168kw at the flywheel to achieve a power to weight ratio of 0.14kw/kg with a 1200kg S15

Thus!!!

168-147kw = Equivilent of 21kw gain

No results yet, hoping I get a call sometime this Arvo to find out how it went... I'm very keen also.

I think benji would have to shave all body hair, and possibly remove seatbelts? Haha

So by your idiotic logic then you will need to remove over 200 parts off your car the way you are going in order to go faster!

You sir, are a fool! :no:

Send me a message when you know as i am keen to find out :D

And Benji, try spitting and not swallowing and you should save some weight :laugh:

I THOUGHT you were told you werent allowed to cause this sort of thing or TROLL on here anymore? If you get me in trouble for encouraging it then i'm not gunna be happy! :dry:

Haha, I'm not trolling.

I am trying to become more D.I.Y minded, so it seems the easiest D.I.Y thing that I can do is delete things haha.

I've still got to see the mechanic about brakes, I dropped by the workshop at around 5.30pm yesterday and everything was closed up =\

I need to get one of those last 15 track day spots

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
