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?

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.

      Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.

      The picture of the underside of that PCB shows either old flux that wasn't cleaned properly or some other contaminant (I.E Water). I would flush it with ISO and try again.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @silviaz Are you skim coating the entire panel (covering the entire panel with filler) before your hitting it with the long block? Or are you selectively applying filler to the repair, trying to fill the low points?  Please don't do that.  Almost certainly. Are you checking the panel for flatness as you go? Or is it more a case of, sand til all the guide coat is gone then check?
