Chris32R Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 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.

GTR-N1 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 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?

WMDC35 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402949-how-far-have-you-gone-with-removing-weight-from-your-streettrack-skyline/#findComment-6407465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

XKLABA Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402949-how-far-have-you-gone-with-removing-weight-from-your-streettrack-skyline/#findComment-6408412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVS JEZ Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Biggest weight saving factor... Dont let girlfriends in the car hahaha. Terry dont tell Kinberley i said that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402949-how-far-have-you-gone-with-removing-weight-from-your-streettrack-skyline/#findComment-6409332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris32R Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 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?
