I'm currently in the process of removing weight from my weekend and track driven 32 GTR. I've already taken out the air con, rear wiper and some little luxury things that I didn't really need. Now I'm thinking how far I should go with it. Removing the rear seats and sound deadening has crossed my mind but I don't really want to ruin the car I really enjoy driving on the road.

My question is, how far have you taken the weight loss in your street and track driven skyline and did it ruin the comfort when driving on the street.

My weight savers so far, are...

9Kg Ti exhaust

1Kg C/F Rear wing blade

4Kg Ti front strut brace

You've already mentioned other N1 eliminations; but the R32 GTR N1 also dispensed with ABS eh? Are you game enough to remove sound system, speakers and ADR child restraints too?

Depends how much street use, the sound deadening and carpet prob around 30-35kgs+-???, the back seat is pretty light, under 10kgs, they're pretty loud inside with it all out, especially with big exhaust etc, for me for st leave it in, if more track and winning is winning take it out

Yeah i had the interior out for a while, it wasnt only the noise that annoyed me it was the glare off the white in the sun.... I stripped all mine and put a cage in, never bolted it down then had a change of heart and put the full interior back in...

rear steering, I removed the whole thing right to the pump including the pump wheel, about 25kgs

inside sound deadening, 9kgs, not worth the effort on a 1400+kg car and makes the car horribly noisy to drive on the street

Ok I think I'll leave the sound deadening and the seats in then. For a 9kg loss I don't think it'll be worth having all that road noise. Hicas has been removed a while ago. Same as rear wiper, air con including core behind dash (never use air con so removed the lot), rear speakers gone, I 'm planning on removing the abs soon too.

Anything else people recommend to remove on a street and track driven skyline?

Biggest weight saving factor... Dont let girlfriends in the car hahaha.

Terry dont tell Kinberley i said that :P

You would never drop Kimberley off to lessen the weight. And if you did, you also know there'd be ten other guys hanging around to pick her up :)

Abouts time you knew how to spell her name too ;)

Lol > that part, I can tell her!
