Hey all,

Not sure what place to post this question.

Im looking at reducing weight in my R33 GTR.

Im just after ideas and opinions from people who have done it to GTRs before

Obviusly there is little reason to change the aluminium bonnet and gaurds, but what about the boot?

Im stripping the underside of the bonnet also.

Does anyone have any idea what the driver and passanger seat and rails weigh each? Is it worth changing seats?

How much sound deadner is under the carpet and roof lining? is it easy to remove?

The rear seats, parcel shelf and belts etc will be removed

The boot carpets and plastics will be removed

What else is worth doing?

Hey Adam, I think there is a thread in the motorsport section about weight reduction for a 33 GTR

I weighed the front seats with rails a while ago and I'm pretty sure they were 14-15kgs each

Get a lightweight odyssey battery and remake the bracket for it with aluminium

Get a midori titanium front pipe, cheap at the moment with the good exchange rate

Still got the a/c and stereo or have they gone in the bin?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
