Lewis Maudlin Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I weighed my car today. 2480 lbs. That was without a passenger seat. I have a 1978 280Z with an SR20DET and FMIC. I have a Powerbrute LSD and 3" Stainless exhaust. So, basically, 2500 lbs without a driver. That is with full interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'd say that was pretty good considering all you've told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 That's what I was thinking. Especially for a later 280, that's a pretty low weight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thats pretty good for a '78, most of which crowd the 2700-2900 lb range, I'f I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New-to-240z Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Ahhh, but has Lewis told you his weight yet? . . . . . hahaha J/K Lewis. U DA MAN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Maudlin Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Well, 2480 without driver, passenger seat and spare but with 14 gallons of gas. Not too bad, I guess. Now to the dyno. Should be between 350 and 400 whp. It is amazing what you can blow off your engine running 20lbs of boost daily. Today, I blew apart my fitting for my brake vaccuum coming off my intake manifold. I am only running 18 lbs, but it spikes to 20lbs initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
