Smart! But you kept 6th? doh

its the only way i can impress my friends with the civics....without the 6th gear, im just like them

Great info!!

Guys, what do you think is lighter, the hotckis sways or stillen sway bars?? I know that hotchkis say that the sway bars are hollow and lightweight, but I some comments saying that the hotchkis sways bars are heavier than the stillen sway bars and stock sways

^^im not a big fan of hollow sways but i do believe it is lighter than both stock and stillen.

Hotchkis sways are much heavier than stock.

fat aassss 240, hits the gym 180lbs lost 60 lbs =D

Thanks guys for the replies,

Here's something....CARBON

Seibon's carbon fiber doors for the 370z are out.

Don't know if it's wet carbon or dry carbon or really where to buy it (Probably costs $2000 as I know)... I just posted it cause it looks cool and contributes a little to weight loss. They're outside panels for the doors and yeah.....cooooool

:drool: I think I shat myself. Those are nice!!!! My guess is 800-900 a door

Here is your best solution...

These are single-handedly the best weight reduction you can make to these cars. The weight loss is both rotational and un-sprung. These rotors are the equivalent of removing about 200-220+ lbs of static weight from your car!! ;)

the stock doors are aluminum, so it would be near retarded to switch to carbon. switching glass would net a better savings

Definitely true, I'm pretty sure this doesn't save that much weight per door and it's not worth getting the doors just for weight savings...I've found out the door is wet carbon and that means you'll need to pay like $4,000 for an outcoming dry carbon version...These doors are really more for showing off carbon fiber or cause ur just crazy for carbon

FOB is 35 grams.

FOB without key is 21 grams.

So to shave 14 grams, drive without the key in it. :icon17:

Actually, I just saw a scale and wanted to contribute to the thread.

try remote mounting the key low and to the rear of the car - better cg

totally stealing your car

Just a quick tech Q: Are your brakes identical in dimensions other than weight to the Akebono Sport brakes? Thanks.:hello:

FYI. My nismo 370z OEM suspension came in today and I put it on the scale

Front Spring/Damper Assembly = 13.0 lbs
Rear Spring+ Rear Damper Assembly = 10.8lbs

I'm going to take off the stock and weight that in the next few days.

Where did you get an OEM Nismo suspension (new?)?

Picked it up from a Nismo 370Z owner who upgraded to adjustable coilovers. Has 400 miles on it.

Our light weight, full floating, two piece front rotors are the same overall general dimensions as the OEM Akebono's are. The rear is the same as well overall except for being slightly wider than the rear OEM Akebono's (which helps drastically in dispersing heat).

:hello:
Glad you finally got it. Were you able to put it on yet?

Only got 1 of the backs on last night. I got home late from work + the lower arm bolt was being stubborn and wouldnt pop out. Should have the rest installed tonight!

please update:
Non sport package rims: Enkei 18x8 and 18x9
weight: front:10.1kg (22.2 pounds)
rear:10.8kg (23.8 pounds)
lol almost same with the "super lightweight" Forged rays sport pkg wheels.

except the super lightweight rays wheels are also 19" to allow space for the brakes.

The difference between 18 and 19" wheels in weight is significant not to mention the width's are different as well.... not quite comparing apples to apples there....

Lol i have to agree with u guys. But still, stock 18's is not that bad considering its weight and made by enkei with M.A.T process. lol better than the base 350z wheels

I would think one of the major advantages to going with a smaller wheel are actually the smaller tires.

Weight further out from the center has a greater affect on performance and sticky rubber tends to get pretty heavy as the diameter goes up...

It depends on your purpose.
With a smaller wheel you run the issue you need a larger side wall thus adding to the weight of your overall wheel/tire setup. Now if this is a pure track setup with no street function then that idea can be thrown out.

Good point. I guess I meant if you want to go with an overall slightly smaller diameter. That would still work fine on the street, just the speedo would be a wee bit off...

Has the seats from a base with sports pkg been weighed?

^Ya, I believe they are around 42 pounds a seat...
Base/NISMO Seat with integrated SRS airbag = 42.4 lbs
Airbag assembly from SRS Seat = 1.6 lbs

ok ok so i gotta toss those heavy bitches

Actually 42lbs for factory seats is light..my recaro speeds weighed that much..reclinable brides are also close to this weight..

has the factory front and rear springs and shocks been weighed? thanks fellow z owners.... :)

going on a diet Jay?

I did this but forgot what it came in at. it was very close to the nismo I weighed.

are you calling me fat??haha

yea i need to knock some pounds off my bitch!!

weight of stock sway bars?? or the weight of hotchkis sways? thanks homies!!:)

I would love to know this info too!!
