What 400-500lbs are your talking about? Are you talking about the G coupe or sedan?. G35 or G37?

I mean the G35 coupe was roughly 3500lbs and even the G37 coupe isn't much heavier at 3600lbs and change. Considering the 370z touring sport comes in at just under 3550lbs there really isn't much different in weight. I mean even taking the lightest 370z ( base manual) vs the heaviest G37 coupe we are only talking about 150-200lbs.
