Johnnydrama’s N/A Nismo 370Z Build Thread

[johnnydrama]

Checked another visit off the to-do list last week, and was able to get the car weighed. In addition to the power, braking, and handling upgrades I was always curious what the car weighed with the weight savings modifications that I've made. Off the top of my head, here are some of the main weight reduction mods:

-Lightweight Battery w/ 3D printed tray
-LTH
-FI Exhaust
-Full Carbon Fiber Engine bay w/ Titanium bolts
-Lightweight Flywheel
-Lightweight Pulley
-Lightweight 2-piece rotors
-Spare Tire/Tools Removed
-Racings seats/mounts
-Bash Bar

The car filled with all fluids weighed an even 3,100 lbs. on the dot. Originally w/ the build I always wanted 400hp/3,000lbs while maintaining OEM+ performance/aesthetics. I read in a 000 Porsche magazine article years ago from a Porsche engineer that 400hp/3,000lb is perfect for at street car (can't remember if that was strictly for mid/rear engine or not). Given my car is ~420hp and 3,100 lbs. that's really close to those figures and I'm quite happy. Cutting another 100 lbs. out would be difficult and excessive at this point and I really have no intentions of pursuing that mark. I will likely just imagine that without all fluids and dry weight the car is pretty close to that 3,000 lb. mark.
