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?

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
