Gts -T Race Car Build - Ideas For Weight Reduction

[PM-R33]

I don't really think any one is in denial about an S13 being lighter, cheaper and better suited for a cheap track car than a Skyline? Does that mean every one will go and buy one? No. It comes down to personel preference and what they like.

You missed faster

[Marlin]

Good chat.

[Nee-san]

Personally, I don't think it's a clear cut issue as to the superiority of the S chassis over that of the R33 Platform in terms of speed.

[Marlin]

[badhairdave]

Don't be like that, Marlin!

[trez]

Don't be like that, Marlin!

If you didn't wreck your old 32 you'd still be a skyline boy dave

[PM-R33]

No I purposefully missed that out as it factors in far to many variables.

why not a r32 Gtst, they striped the only thing that would make em heavyer than a S chassis is the Rb engine

[BOZ22N]

Maybe this calls for a R vs S chassis fun track day at wakie, like the evo vs Rex days.

[boxheadmr]

have to fix the miss fire first though

[BOZ22N]

Cool I think it would be a great day will talk to some of the mods and see what they think but a 1.04 is uber fast.

[boxheadmr]

well we could kind of run an unofficial Skylines Vs Silvia day at the coming NSCC track day on the 29th May 2011 @ Wakefield.

Our last track day with timing was $95 for members, factor in a $50 + once off $25 joining fee and you have a $170 track day which is the cost of a normal supersprint event.

Timing, max 60 cars - well run - i reckon the unofficial Skyline vs Silvia battle would be great

[toffy]

i always thought an r33 was essentially an s14 with a 4inch extension?

[badhairdave]

If you didn't wreck your old 32 you'd still be a skyline boy dave

32's are still faster than 33's too Not a 33 to be seen in the top ten duncan posted....

r vs s battle sounds interesting.

[Marlin]

Whoa.... talk about off track thread!

This is about getting a 33 GTS-t to 900kg guys, lets be serious can we.....

I think you'll need to use GTR front guards.

yes, and maybe wrap your subwoofer amp in that carbon fibre looking vinyl to make it lighter too. in fact do two coats to make it super light.

[Marlin]

And remove the rear wiper..... put one of them rubber bung thingies in it so it don't leak.
