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.

    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
