he's refering to Pete Nunn, not brad. Brad's car does indeed have massive power and ballistic brakes

he competes in the TSS, so no, not just setup just for symmons, obviously baskerville as well. And yes obviously things are changed between the two circuits. last race meet at basky he broke the lap record for that class, GTA.

the original 32 gtst loom is around 25kg including all the small ecu and control units. bens targa car had to have a fair bit of stuff added over the top of what was stripped out plus it still runs electric windows and mirrors ect.

once you have stripped a car of the easy cheap to remove weights it is hard to find 16odd kg on one area that doesnt cost a bomb so we are pretty pleased with the result.

im yet to do a r33 so im not sure what the starting weight would be.

aparently the r35 has a tun of wiring weight but because of its complexity no one has tampered with it much.

All the throw away wiring from handbrakes WTAC R35 GTR

Ah i get this all the time. this joke is seriously old.

less weight is free power and free brakes. its simple phisics?

how do you think an rb20 powered r32 can lap basky in the times it does? no rb20 r32 has ever done it before? it doesnt have massive hp or belistic brakes?

its not the .25kg from one thing either its .25kg from everywhere.

its not possible to run Nos everywhere Justin. if it was it would probably have it.

Oh Damo... I know I know..

If you strip the whole car loom down to the essentials, it's going to be a little more than 250g. And it is all the little things that add up to one big weight saving.

But as a regular person 'mod' so to speak, it's alot of cash outlay for a small gain if you can't do it yourself.. imagine what you would charge a punter to strip out a engine loom, strip it down and re install it.

But gas is still AWSOME :nyaanyaa:

No suspension changes have been made to the car for the last few race meets.

Only difference was the new engine this time at symmons.

Are you talking about brad or pete?

If you like Pete Nunn Motor Sport on facebook you can see how much of his loom he took out, fkn heeeeeeeeeeaps.

Things are starting to look good have finally found a pump pulley, new intake and cam cover gaskets have just arrived and ordered my new silicone joiners off barsny all i need now is for the new plenum and covers to turn up and get a few new lengths of -10 hose and were back on the road...

mmm polished goodness.....

can you upload a pic once you get them sounds like wat i need

i have the turbosmart blue ones on the bov ect thinking of going braid lines to my catch can as its some dodgy looking blue hose at the momentyucky.gif

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
