The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

Minor update on lug nuts. Top post lists the stock ones as "3 lbs". On my kitchen scale the sport package ones (are they all the same?) come in at 76.5g per lug nut, which is 1.530 kg for the whole car, or 3.366 lbs.

Muteki's open-ended tuner nuts come in at 25g (1.1 lbs total), and the closed-end ones at 60g (2.64 lbs) (per mfg specs).

It's not much, but every little bit helps

Nice. Wanted to know this because I sold my OEM and didn't weigh. I got Gorilla closed end lugs and they're 32.19g each or 1.42lbs total.

Also I weighed my OEM rear 2013 wheel and tire and it was 57.5lbs so heavier than previous years. Forgot to weigh the front
