Remove headlights and make plastic covers for them. Remove the heater core, and all stuff associated with that. Remove gas tank and replace with fuel cell in trunk. After all you weight reduction and times at the track. Just through a direct port nitrious kit, and you will be good to go.

 

well, since every weight counts, take out:
interior Bulbs, floor mats, speaker grills, well you get the point, I'm just talking about the light items here.. but i guess if you add them up, it'll come out to be a pound at most..
oh and don't forget your own weight, lose some if you're overweight.

 

I saw what you posted first in the eail saying that you posted on this thread. I guess you figured out what was wrong with what you said.
1/8" is plenty thick, and it it wobble a bit, then who cares? Whatce a dragster in staging. The windows are shaking like crazy. I am just talking about useing this for the sides.

 

Interior is gutted. Kist part of a dash and a seat.

 

O man hurry up, i cant wait, I wanna see pics of thing. So what performance mods you planning on doing???

 

piggy-back ECU and 00VI for starters. That is after I see how id does with just the wieght reduction I have done.

 

dope, you think you gonna swap the motor out? hehe, if you know what I mean. 3.5 3.5 couph couph

 

well it is my goal to be the first 3.0 in the 12's NA.

 

Do you know how much the stock gas tank weighs? If not, PLEASE let us know when you drop that sucker. Also, what size fuel cell did you get? 5 gallon?

I HIGHLY recommend buying a new NHRA rule book. Read it and know it when you do all this stuff or you will be pretty bummed out when the tech inspector sends you home. Also, I recently bought a 12lb racing seat from Summit. I got the same one Jime got. It's black plastic.

 

yes it is a 5 gallon tank. As for NHRA rules. We just run at test and tune. They don't check anything.

 

I suggest grinding off the brackets on the pedals that hold the clutch interlock and cruise control switches. See page 2 of homepage. It is good for a pound if you do the clutch and brake pedal.

 

Do you have any idea how much the stock gas tank weighs?

Even if you go to TnT, they should still check for safety stuff. (i.e. tires, battery tie down, etc) But every track is different. I've been to some that didn't even check the battery tie down. And I've been to one track that was WAY stricter than Las Vegas Motor Speedway (nicest track in the nation).... it was Moroso in South FL. They are an NHRA track and it took them about 5-7 minutes just to check my car out. It's a very close to stock Maxima. He even complained about a small crack in my windshield. Oh well, just goes to show that every track is different and it's always the inspectors decision, whether to let you on the track or not. But if you follow that NHRA rule book perfectly, there's not much those inspectors can say.

 

in houston, there just like what car, what year.

 

At montgomery, NHRA track, you have to fill out a tech card, but no inspection. At Steele you don't do anything.

 

put all the parts on a scale and weigh them up, this would be super !

 

how much longer jason the guy that owns steele track said the track might open back up in feb.let me know i want to be there i live close to the track.if thats where you are going.maybe i will have my 240sx with the ca18det swap will be dune then.

From Ceasars website! I've taken some of the ideas off of their and thrown some stuff out of my car.

 

Maxima's DO come w/o AC, so ur local parts store should have the correct belt if you take off your AC

 

Which special models came without A/C? GXE's have it.

 

hey plurco after all this is done if you want more you should get a 00VI that would be mean as hell

 

Yeah I mentioned getting one a page back.

Ceasar, don't worry, I will get you plenty of new info for your list.

 

No they don't.

 

Man, where did you get that information from?

 

That's better...

 

musta been thinking of diff year.. or somthing

 

Which year?

 

While you're at it, those 2k wheels are pretty heavy too. I have a set as well on my car and I think they're definitely heavier than the stock sawblades I had.

 

Those are gone. The car is back on sawblades for now.

 

Damn.....poor Max, all stripped but lighter. I guess she's going to be running with a different crowd now.

 

Well the car was wrecked, and I bought it back for $200. Only thing wrong with it was a bent up hood, radiator support, and busted grill and headlights. I sold a bunch of stuff off of it, so it is just a free car to play with.
