1977 280z

2700lbs without driver

1/2 tank of gas

removed front bumper

removed condensor

uerthane front bumper

15" wheels 225/60-15R

 

 

Damn this thing is heavy than I thought. I need to start removing excess weight to make this thing more fun to drive. Next on my list is to remove all A/C related hardware. Carbon Fiber hood. s2k seat swap(wont remove any weight). I want to remove the rear bumper but I worry about getting rear ended in this small car. For a daily driver I'm not so sure.

 

Regards,

Justin

Just measured mine today on a set of longacre cross weights.

1075kg

Forgot the cross weights, but front rear is very close to 51:49 and 50:50 side with me sitting in it.

 

The measured weight is with 1/4 tank, spare, mild steel rollbar, stripped interior, 15x8.5 watanabes and street tyres, racing buckets, and a triple webered L24.

 

I havent tried too hard in the weight loss department, so there's plenty of room for improvement!
