Adz2332 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 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?

GTR81 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/423279-weight-reduction-and-weights/#findComment-6811498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
