33 Gtr - Weight Cutting

[Jetwreck]

Problem with the R33 GTR is the weight in front especially in the suspension arms and that massive cast upright boat anchor. Light weight chromolly is the go for it all, and the subframe.

A quick fix for the cast iron block......put A VQ in it!

We swapped out clutches and flywheels yesterday,,,factory flywheel 9.7 kilo's and an Exedy race puppy 6.5 kilo's = -3.2.

No point weighing clutch and pressure plates,,,way to many different combinations involved.

Great way to loose weight though and helps a turbo engine do everything better and quicker.

Cheers

If you can live without the HICAS system F it off and pull all the crap out that comes with it. Theres a little bit of weight there I'd imagine. I'm waiting for my Cusco Hicas replacement configuration and I'll be removing as much of it as I can

thread revival.
can you remove the headlights for racing purposes? or are there rules that you need functioning headlights for MRA etc?

A few google searches suggest I can remove them.

Now...anyone know what they weigh?

Best place to fab up some fibreglass ones?
