The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

Hell at that size and weight, I might consider moving the battery back up to the battery box instead of the trunk. The cabling to the trunk probably outweighs the battery itself

I just started talking to Wstar about moving mine but at how light the batteries are getting & efficient, may as well keep it up front.

ive seen race cars make a box under the headlight, looks really nice, and is out of the way, also not using to much more battery cable. just a thought

First thing I saw when you guys moved the batteries was the cable. Thought to myself, kinda defeats the purpose. Then I saw some installed in the middle of the trunk which again I thought, driver weighs 100+ lbs, 30 lbs oem battery was on passenger side, now 15 lbs battery is in the middle of the trunk, again defeats the purpose. If anything the battery should be under the passenger seat.
