In terms of body kit I'll be leaving that as fibreglass as its already lighter than factory items and especially front bar would require custom fabrication compared to the doors I can pick up easily in carbon. It would be good if I was going for every single kilogram like in a time attack car and had plenty of cash to throw at it. Just to get the dash and centre console done will be somewhat costly. Anyone know how much the factory dash is in kilograms, I know most people probably dont weigh it, but Im sure a wrecker may be on these threads and can give a rough answer.

Would be nice for my 33...if only wasnt working on the engine right now Matt: Have you still got your 34??

Very good write up mate, would have been good to have this before I got mine done by a mechanic would have saved a fair bit...

Havent been past his shop since I bought all the body parts off him in 2009...will drop past eventually and get that off him and maybe the door sills while Im at it

Noise doesnt bother me otherwise I wouldnt remove the sound deadening to start with...and with the suspension setup its not exactly smooth at the moment for street driving anyway but I dont have a locker in it so its still smooth enough

Yeh I read that somewhere as well phil, only reason I'm doing it is mainly for the piping if I remove my aircon it gets some airflow into the cabin But supposedly not much saving, I'm just trying to work out where else weight can be shed from the car apart from the above mentioned items... Hows your car coming along anyway mate?? Did Shane end up getting those carbon cooling panels made in the end or did he pull the plug on that??

At the end of the day this thread was asking what else can be reduced for weight on the car whether it be legal or not is irrelevant, if it gets defected for something well clearly its my own fault for choosing to do it. I'll be putting in lexcen glass rear quarter windows either way, but the carbon doors will only be fitted for track days as I dont have intrusion bars on my rollcage as its not road legal having them in the car due to a change in Vic Roads regulations. If people want to get picky on road legal cars people running both pod filters and fmic will get done for two forms of induction...having coilovers are in most cases illegal but alot of jap cars have them installed anyway, same with cars being EPA'd for exhausts...some things we all risk but I stick to legal in most cases.

Ive had a carbon bonnet since the car was built pulled over and checked many times, lexcen glass and carbon doors would only be put on for track days. I have a rollcage in there and it is street legal being a half cage and car registered as a two seater. Racing harness is ADR approved as are seat rails. You can run fix back seats as long as cars registered as two seater as its not obstructing passengers getting out in emergency. Wheels are within guards and can full lock. As for stripping aircon, sound deadening and interior parts its not legal requirement to have them.

Hi guys, Just been doing some research on weight reduction for 33's and what is a possible goal for a street driven and track car, being as its a R33 GTS4T it weighs a fair bit more than the GTS and GTST's so automatically weight disadvantage right there. What I've sourced so far is: Bonnet: Factory 17kgs my carbon one is 7kgs Boot + Factory Spoiler: 30kgs not 100% on this, carbon fibre 6-8kgs Air Con System: 12.3kgs Sound Deadening: Inside the car you can save around 10-15kgs depending how far you go Rear Seats: 10.9kgs Front Guards: Not 100% on their weight but I'm running fibreglass guards roughly 6kgs I think I found Mirrors: 4kgs total replaced with carbon fibre gt mirrors like Craft Square 1kg total Factory Seats: These I have various figures supposedly 25kg each you can save 10kgs putting in bucket seats Suspension: Having coilover suspension can save around 4kgs Doors: inlcuding windows, regulators, door cards and switches around 60kgs for both, carbon fibre with lexcen glass 20kgs Windows: As above you can change 1/4 windows, door windows and rear windows, wouldnt recommend front windscreen as wipers can damage it Boot Trim: 6kgs taking out all the unneccsary carpeting and board Spare Wheel: 16kgs Jacks + Tools: 3kgs Metal Bracing behind rear seats 2.9kg Battery: Change to a smaller and lighter battery few kgs there Wheels: roughly 18x10 with 265/35 filled with air are around 20kgs, not sure if any savings compared to standard ones there Steering wheel had airbag as well, replaced with Momo steering wheel and boss kit Floor mats: 6kgs I'm trying to get down to around 1300kgs, from what I've read the awd r33 is around 1475kgs. So far I'm around the 1400kg mark but havent removed air con, havent replaced with carbon boot and doors as yet. I know for extras I can still do: Headlight duct 1.5kgs I think Lexcen glass unsure weight reduction Bucket Seats HICAS Carbon Dash Centre Console Interior Plastics/Roof lining Any other thoughts would be great, havent found to many threads across many skyline forums that go into detail on possibilities have just found parts here and there listed.

Ive got Brown Davis for 33 and my two mates have Brown Davis cages for theirs 34's...top job I can say that much and are definately a tight one piece fit
