The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

[NewYorkJon34]

I plan on using my car for daily driving, would odyssey pc680 be a good battery if I don't plan on going to the track, and how long will it last? And my second question is wouldn't changing to lighter lug nuts help lose some rotational weight & be good for a DD?

The PC680 works fine for a DD. I DD my 370Z as well and have had no problems with it. As for the lug nuts, 99% of aftermarket lugs will not work with the stock wheels. My honest opinion though, both of those mods will not be noticeable when daily driving as far as performance gains from weight savings go.

I have the PC680 in a DD as well, and with an underdriven alternator to boot, and no problems with regular stuff. I have killed the charge on it twice, but that was from working on it (with the key turned "ON", engine off, and messing with the window buttons repeatedly while working on some door stuff in the garage). So be sure to have a charger or jump ready if you plan to work on the car like that, it drains quick when you run heavy accessories like the windows without the engine running.
