Nitrogen in the tires?

theDreamer · 03-21-2010, 10:55 AM

There is not much more you can do in that area, maybe a coilover setup might be lighter but not 100% sure.

RCZ, some updates to your list if you want:
I am looking for aftermarket suspension and other parts but no one lists the weights on their website, will contact a few vendors and ask for weights.

~Berk exhaust:
-Muffler: 32.2lbs
-X-pipe: 12.2lbs
-Resonators: 8.8lbs each (17.6lbs total)
-Bolts & Gaskets: 1.2lbs
Total: 63.2lbs

~Fast Intentions exhaust:
-Whole exhaust with SS mufflers: 47lbs
-Whole exhaust with Carbon fiber mufflers: 41lbs

~Fast Intentions Long Tube headers:
-Whole piece: 21lbs (Per thread a recorded weight loss of 17lbs total)

Great

anasmak11 · 03-24-2010, 07:07 AM

so the Berk exhaust is about 20lbs heavier than FI?

theDreamer · 03-24-2010, 08:36 AM

Yes, of the exhaust reported FI is the lightest aftermarket, though I am sure some others are a bit lighter which have not been reported.

anyone have any info on stock brakes sport and non sport? sport and non sport rotor weights as well?

Equinox · 04-06-2010, 09:03 PM

stock sport FRONT rotors supposedly weigh 30lbs a peice on the 370z, according to racing brakes
Two-piece rotor (Open Slot) - 370Z (Sport) FRONT 2009

Which is more than my 19" rims.

Knives · 04-06-2010, 09:55 PM

Damn, 30 lbs. Definitely have to look into getting a two-piece rotor.

I assume the drilled weighs less than 19 lbs slotted rotors?
