ZDrifter Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Yep!! Got the Z on the scales today and I have to say I am very pleased!!! 1978 Datsun 280z RB25DET, no bumpers, full interior, including spare tire. Only thing thats off the car are the bumpers. Without me in the car. LF: 644lbs. RF: 753lbs. LR: 700lbs. RR: 672lbs. Total: 2,770lbs. Me in the car. LF: 695lbs. RF: 750lbs. LR:759lbs. RR: 672lbs. Total: 2,907lbs. According to the scales weight distribution front to rear is: 50.8% to 49.2% I was very happy to see that. My car isn't the lightest but for a full interior car Im very happy with it. Also the gas gauge was on empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 awesome, 50/50 weight distribution with an RB25 turbo. that should be the equivalent of an RB30DE, sans-turbo, no? tell us about what other weight additions would find themselves in your car. any that are easily removable? btw, I think the side mouldings on your car make it so much more sexy in the silver colour with those wheels you have =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDrifter Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hmm other weight additions I can remove? Indeed. All glass can be changed to Lexan. Remove Carpet. Remove Door Panels. Remove center console. Remove Headliner. Remove Passenger seat. Remove All plastic interior pieces. Remove Heater. Remove Spare tire/air canister/tool kit/jack. Remove rear wood cover over the spare tire. Remove rear bumper mounts. Thats what I can think of. Any other input is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Aluminum dash! That stocker is heavy! Depends on how crazy you wanna go on dumping weight. Fast weight savings? Dump the hood/fenders/doors/hatch LOL. Fiberglass or CF hood will save a bunch of weight too. I agree, your side mouldings look great. I normally despise them!

johnc Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Move your battery from the right front to the right rear. That will help your cross weights which are off just a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 You can get a smaller battery and you can swiss cheese the metal plate behind the seats CF hood FBG fenders (not so light compared to stockers) Aftermarket A-arms light wheels helps alot ... cant think of more without going hardcore swiss cheesing it .

Sparks280zt Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I have a lightweight Odyysey Battery with aluminum hold down if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDrifter Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Id take you up on that but I need to get my clutch in and then its on to wiring the wolf in on my car. I probably wont start weight reduction until I move back to Oregon. Then I will start prepping the car for track days and time attack.
