Not sure your weight figure is correct.

An ARX is 1780kg and an RX is 1680kg.

But if you want to lighten it have a look at changing Electric front seats or removing some of the electronics.

There are not many other places to loose weight as the subframe and suspension are all alloy, bonnet is alloy, boot is plastic composite.

On the upside, all that weight is near perfectly balanced on the chasis with 52% on the front axle and 48% on the rear.

Enjoy.

Nope, RX is awd, as is the RS.

Mine weighed in at 1670kg on the weighbridge at my work.

Considering a stock VE sedan is 1700kg, and even a fully loaded FPV ute is over 1800kg; I don't think there's much to worry about.

I know what I'd rather be driving in an accident.

Or any other time for that matter...

RS if you have triple gauges in the centre, RX if you don't. I think that is a safe measure, unless installed later, right guys?

Or plug in your VIN into something like epc data for the run down.

180sx: 1150kg and three times as powerful as your car.

You Jelly?

^ Yes, yes I am.

I put mine (RS) on the local weighbridge & it came in at 1800kg with me in it, after I had removed all the ususal suspects (spare wheel, tools, sub, mats etc.). All the lux adds weight, no doubt.

I'm not concerned though. This article on the weight of the R35 GTR gives me some peace. http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/kazutoshi-mizuno-nissan-gtr-interview-top-gear-2012-02-23?imageNo=1

With the right tyres, our cars handle better in torrential rain than most do in the dry.

Your in a wagon who cares for weight loss. Rip out your high flow vq and send it to me. That should save you a good 300 kg, take off your wheels and stick it up on blocks that will save you 100kg give or take. Take out your r35 gtr seats, bc's and swaybars and that should save another 50kg .So that will make you about 250 kg heavier than the 180 but you wont be moving far....

I care for weight loss funny man. That's why I started the thread.

But all you're going to end up with is a noisier, harsher, less pleasant car to drive.

And it might accelerate a poofteenth quicker, or save a bees dick of fuel?

If weight saving was your primary concern; why on earth did you buy a Stagea?

If you do anything to your car that displeases me; I may have to kill you.

Lol, jokes. :whistling:

But seriously; don't. ;)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
