Some more updates!
We are starting to move at a quicker pace on this track GT-R and I wanted to share with you some new pictures:
The interior is now down just about as far as we can go
Nothing but the best in the way of suspension for this track GT-R, JRZ to the rescue!
Test fitting some sample wheels and tires along with the Password JDM Carbon fiber front fenders for a little more front tire room.
Now we have Justin our suspension expert working on installing the JRZ Triple adjustable coilovers with remote reservoirs.
Sean working away hard on taking even more weight out of this track car project

Justin and the Fab shop have been making some serious ground on our customer track car GT-R
The Carbon Kevlar Recaro Hans Equipped Seat has arrived
The beginnings of a custom seat bracket from Justin.
Justin went ahead and cut down the tunnel side seat mount to make it even with the rest of the rails. You can see how much smaller it is now and how low it will sit
Sean is busy taking out material near the rear shock towers to allow for easier damper adjustment. This also will enable us to save some weight in bracing and to eliminate the cast aluminum seat back.
Justin found a way to take out a good chunk of weight by making his own steering column using some new and existing pieces. Total weight savings for this was 7lbs!
With the full cage going in soon the roof bracing on the car is not needed and just excess weight. Here we can see Sean cutting out the roof bracing.
Everything adds up! with this latest round of chassis lightening we were able to shed 21 lbs/9.5 Kg's
More to come!!!
