The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

[QUOTE=josemartinrea;3612613]If anyone is still looking for a lightweight battery that won't break the bank; I just purchased the Duracell Ultra AGM powersport battery for less than what the PC680 costs.

How is this battery performing for you so far?

Sorry to revive an old thread but does anyone know what the stock 18 inch wheels off of a 2014 370 weigh?

If you're not shy, drive naked. T-Shirt, Jeans, Shoes, Socks = 4 ibs:



In all seriousness though the driver mod is one of the best mods you can do. I am 6'0 currently weighing in at 190. I can stand to lose 20-30ibs and still be at a healthy weight.

Forgot entirely about this thread. The battery has held up nicely since I've installed it. I've gone as long as a week and a half without turning the car on and it still cranks just fine.

Do it, I feel so much better now that the weight is gone. I also fit more comfortably into my race seat lol...and I need to move my seat closer to the steering. Driver mods are the best!

Any of you guys who gutted your interior have a dash cubby piece that you want to get rid of? I have a project that I want to do.

Here's a picture of what I want.

invidia catback weights 56,6lbs alone (without gaskets and screws):

- Tips: 1,3lbs
- Muffler: 25,8 lbs
- Resonator pipes: 13,2lbs for both
- X pipe (thats not really, an Xpipe just two straight line): 6,6 lbs
- Straight pipe: 9,7lbs for both
- gaskets and screws:2,4 lbs

So the invidia catback weigths a little bit more than stock catback , 2,6 lbs more not bad for a full dual pipes catback with dual muffler.

Rusty did you want just the cubby and inside felt area? I have one I can send you since I was going to request your assistance with modifying a Bell diff brace
