Ok a quick list of parts and their approx weight from what has been found within posts on SAU.

this list is only the weight removed not replaced with any other items yet as stuff like exhaust needs to be replace with a difference system to get nett gain

2 x Door window, electric motor and guide for glass, switch, door card = 24kg

HICAS removal, soliniods, pipes, etc = 25kg

Fuel tank = 12kg

Steel exhaust system =15kg

Rear seat =6kg

Passenger front seat =12kg

A/C system =10kg

heater core, ducts and fans =10kg

Standard prop shaft =15kg

sound proofing ( tar like crap ) =8kg

carpet and underlay ( best guess ) =7kg

sound system AC control =10kg

interior trim ( best guess ) =8kg

Feel free to correct any of these or add some more to the list

r32 gtst rear seats weigh 13kgs so not too sure how those big buckets on the gtr rear seats can be 6kg?

r32 gtst door with speaker, intrusion bar, handle, wiring and the rest stripped out = 25kgs

also the gtr hubs are said to weigh less then the gtst variants. anyone wish to confirm or have gtr hubs to weigh :)

1 gts4 rear hub with no arms, lca, handbrake clips,calipers and disk's which ended weighing 8kgs (most gts4 parts = gtr parts as theres no reason produce things twice)

For you guys interested in carbon clutches/lightened flywheels, a guy I know just got an Extreme carbon clutch with a lightened flywheel, and it was around 3k from memory. Pretty good if you ask me, and works a treat too.

yer i have the extreme clutch and alloy flywheel. Flywheel is 4.1 kg which is less than half the stocko item

Clutch is a single plate button clutch ( 1650KG clamp load ) so a little lighter but pressure plate would be about the same.

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
