tfreer85 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks for the update. I've been waiting to get mine weighed here shortly, I want to see how it comes out with the Autech SR20DE, full cage, full suspension, stock seats, full carpet, no bumpers. I'm hoping to be in the 2-2200 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I always thought about lexan to replace the hatch glass-smoked and gets rid of the defroster wires.I have a race seat for my car on track days and its about %50 lighter than a stock seat.

Stevemd24 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 How about Carbon fiber over Fiberglass? I thought it was lighter and stronger.... OR am i wrong? Maybe instead of aluminum custom dash, one of CF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logr Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I just replaced my stock brakes, steel wheels and 225/45/15 R1R's. The total swap was a wash in the weight department. The new front brakes were a bit lighter but the rear were a bit heavier. In the end, the Wilwood, JSK set up weighed a total of 0.5 lbs more but the 8.5 RPF1's and 235/40/17's were 0.5 lbs lighter. Of course 1.25 x 12.2 fronts and .810 x 12.2 rear rotors with 4 piston Superlites all the way around might be a bit of an upgrade versus the original stock set up. I am looking forward to trying the new set up. My total weight is 2300# on a truck scale with the SR. 52% rear with me in it and a full stock interior right down to the seats and gauges, which all work great with the SR.

itzgoten Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Kind of an old thread but my Z was corner balanced at it weighed 2260.. cross weight was ~51%. If i do recall I think it was 50.7% to the rear. Car is pretty much gutted with a 6-pt cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Its not about taking 100 pounds out of one place. Its about taking 1 pound out of 100 places. Start taking off all unnecessary brackets, yada yada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yup. Got a 6 cylinder E36 BMW down to 2,100 lbs. by cutting off every unused bracket and grinding off any tabs spot welded to the chassis. Took out 44 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logr Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I finally weighed mine properly. 73 240Z SR T28 stock manifold, aluminum circle track radiator, 1/4 tank fuel, full stock type interior, Wilwood Superlites on all corners, 8.5x17 RPF1, 235/40/17 R1R's, no cage 2286# without me, 50.1% rear with me(200#), cross weight 49.7% with me, could have gotten this better but the sways were hooked up and ran out of time.

I'm hoping to be in the 2-2200 range. You and I are running a simular setup; except I have no cage, fg bucket seats, no carpet and will be going Gnose w/ fg rear bumper. I'm aiming to be on the south end of 2200lbs w/o me in it. Been debating on going fg hood, hatch and more importantly fg doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
