All this is very interesting. So should i just stick with my hollow genuine items cuz they are lighter etc?

Nope, the weight difference you are looking at is less than 1 kg per wheel. The handling improvement is FAR greater than a miniscule 1 kg weight penalty. All of which is sprung weight on a Skyline. Have a good shit before you go racing, that'll save the 1 kg, with some change.

Will the dampers/springs be ok as the only mod to inhibit body roll? It impresses me when i find out things like the hollow bars etc on the GTR are standard.

Nope, stabiliser bars are the best bang for buck suspension upgrade you can make for improved handling. Road or track. Why do you think every decent race car up to F1 has driver adjustable stabiliser bars? Simply because they are the best method tuning the handling balance.

It was a damn fine car for its day, not to mention now!

Yep, and the factory race cars had upgraded (adjustable) stabiliser bars.

:( cheers :woot:

Completely agree that the handling improvement outweighs the weigth difference, but I think the weight difference is more than 1kg going from standard to 24mm solid.

More in the range of ~4kg/bar isn't it? Afterall, the standard rear bar is 21% of the weight of the solid 24mm Whiteline bar.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
