Next year i will have 2500's with full interior including pass seat.
Dont forget to strip the wires out of the car that arent being used.
And i good hood and trunk with spoiler off my car i think will lose 70-75lb.
Brakes another spot where lots of weight can be lost i estimate 50lbs +. Remember a 2200lb car does not need 11 inch rotors anymore ,huge overkill.Once i get my car in the 2500's smaller rotors are going on with half as light caliphers. Are calipers are like 8lbs a piece. I can save 16-20lbs with just lighter caliphers.

I have done some weight reduction but I am no where near the level of Krismax. If it is a drag only car you don't need anything. For those that don't think A/C doesn't weigh much, your forgetting something. The Evap box under the glovebox weighs a good 5Ibs. Get that outa there. Also, if your not worried about control power steering is worth several HP/TQ and all told it probably weighs 30Ibs. The steering bump stops on the spindles are worth 3Ibs. Rear brakes aren't really needed although I don't know if you'll pass tech check in.
You can sell all the stuff you've removed and use that money for CF lid and hood.
-Sunroof and rail(25+Ibs)
-Exhaust after y-pipe.(40+Ibs)
-Keyless entry brain(1Ib)
-Antannae if retracting type.(4Ibs)
-Extra cooling lines to TB and EGR.
-Cooling lines to heater core.
-Heater Core
-Entire Dash(I mean everything. You don't need any gauges besides Tach and if your good you don't even need that.)
-Sound deadening
-FSB
-Splash Gaurds.(Wheel well too)
-All interior obviously
-Y-Pipe(9 Ibs)
-Splash Guard(2 Ibs)
-EGR stuff
-Hoodliner(1 Ibs)
-Stock Drivers Seatbelt Assembly(5 Ibs)
-Racing Bucket(18Ibs)
-Brake Rotor Dustsheilds(9 Ibs)
-UDP(3 Ibs)
-Stock Intake Plumbing(4 Ibs)
-Wall Behind Rear Seats(6 Ibs)
-Exhaust Heat Sheilding(9 Ibs)
-Plastic Guard Around Brake and Gas Lines(1 Ib)
-Removed Dash Bar(2 Ibs)
-Misc. Bolts and Brackets(3 Ibs)
-Removed Rear Tow Hooks(2 Ibs)
-Secondary Exhaust Bracket(1 Ibs)
-Passenger Side Tow Hook(1Ib)
-Stock Foglight Brackets(1.5Ibs)
-Windsheild Washer Stuff
-Cruise Control(3Ibs)
-Plate Under Steering Wheel(2Ibs)
-UDP(3Ibs)
-Jack and Mounting Bracket(7Ibs)
-Spare(28Ibs)
-A/C(35Ibs)
NPM just started a great new project. http://nissanperformancemag.com/december04/g20_racecar/
Keep going. I'd like to know what true race weight is. Once you determine the weight we can start making guesses at e.t/trap. The basic rule of thumb is crude but still... If your goal is 2000Ibs then you'll be in mid to high 13's. But we must remember weight vs. traction is a direct relationship.

Hey Im at work right now but i have had this done for almost two years I will get the belt size tomarrow and just PM me and I will PM you back with the belt size, by the way if you are going to by pass it you may as well just take it off extra weight if it doesnt work anyway.

i didn't have....
-A/C....lines, condenser, comperssor,.....everything baiscally.
-no back seats
-no carpet
-the whole trunk was stripped
-no center council
-no glove compartment
-everything in the engine bay was out that was not needed, no girll, battery in the trunk, only the CAI, and i could pretty much stand in the engine bay.
I did have.....
-y pipe
-no back muffler just the stock b pipe,
-place racing motor mounts
-CAI
-NX kit
-cf hood and lip
and some other lil small things, i was light as hell and the car was quick as fucc, and very responsive
