The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

[Endgame]

Wow. Getting this car to be lighter will not be too bad at all. When I pick up mine, I will probally also do an Odyssey. Let's see:

1. Wheels & Tires (CE28N's) = about 20 pounds less
2. Aftermarket Exhuast (probally Nismo) = let's say 10 pounds less when compared to the last Nismo exhaust.
3. Odyssey Batter = 20 pounds
4. No spare = 35 pounds
EQUAL: 85 pound reduction. WOW....

Absolutely. It works on my time attack car which only gets driven 3-4 times a year .

Another really easy weight loss tip: drain all of your windshield washer fluid then add back just a little (in case you need it). Might be worth a good 8 lbs of weight savings or so...not really sure. OR, just remove that huge washer fluid reservoir altogether!

I calculated my weight savings at around 80 lbs...and that includes new battery, no spare (keeping the subwoofer though), lighter tires, HF cats, lighter exhaust....but I am going to add an oil cooler (probably +8 lbs). Realistically, I'll also be running about 1/2 tank of gas...so I HOPE my total weight will be down around 3230 (I have touring with sport pckg).
