he's refering to Pete Nunn, not brad. Brad's car does indeed have massive power and ballistic brakes

he competes in the TSS, so no, not just setup just for symmons, obviously baskerville as well. And yes obviously things are changed between the two circuits. last race meet at basky he broke the lap record for that class, GTA.

the original 32 gtst loom is around 25kg including all the small ecu and control units. bens targa car had to have a fair bit of stuff added over the top of what was stripped out plus it still runs electric windows and mirrors ect.

once you have stripped a car of the easy cheap to remove weights it is hard to find 16odd kg on one area that doesnt cost a bomb so we are pretty pleased with the result.

im yet to do a r33 so im not sure what the starting weight would be.

aparently the r35 has a tun of wiring weight but because of its complexity no one has tampered with it much.

All the throw away wiring from handbrakes WTAC R35 GTR

Ah i get this all the time. this joke is seriously old.

less weight is free power and free brakes. its simple phisics?

how do you think an rb20 powered r32 can lap basky in the times it does? no rb20 r32 has ever done it before? it doesnt have massive hp or belistic brakes?

its not the .25kg from one thing either its .25kg from everywhere.

its not possible to run Nos everywhere Justin. if it was it would probably have it.

Oh Damo... I know I know..

If you strip the whole car loom down to the essentials, it's going to be a little more than 250g. And it is all the little things that add up to one big weight saving.

But as a regular person 'mod' so to speak, it's alot of cash outlay for a small gain if you can't do it yourself.. imagine what you would charge a punter to strip out a engine loom, strip it down and re install it.

But gas is still AWSOME :nyaanyaa:

No suspension changes have been made to the car for the last few race meets.

Only difference was the new engine this time at symmons.

Are you talking about brad or pete?

If you like Pete Nunn Motor Sport on facebook you can see how much of his loom he took out, fkn heeeeeeeeeeaps.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
