i was just think about man i wonder if there is anything that i can like take off the car to get alittle more hp? if you know anything tell me. thanks

are you asking about lightening? or mods for performance?

oh sorry performance

your not going to gain hp buy taking things out, youll be lighter but not gain hp

well what is useless and i can just takeoff

Obviously, the driver, lol!

dam there was a thread on a whole list of things to take out, these are just off the top of my head

seats, jack, spare, sound deadner under carpet its about 30lbs, ac... lol jus check out the all motor section and check the thread by plurco

read the mod sticky ... start with CAI and Y-pipe

well before you do any mods your going to have to do one thing learn to !!!!!

power steering

and supposedly its like every 20 lb's off a car brings a horsepower or something like that.

How do you spell Horse?

put a little cocaine in the brake fluid. Vrrroooooooom

remove power steering and a/c compressor, then gut ur entire interior, remove ur hood and replace w/ a CF or just leave it off, and get some 10lb wheels..

oh and go on a diet.

LMAO

Man, I love Sober's Max. Everytime I see his sig it makes me want to get G35 wheels.

Thanks, everytime I look at your sig I want to get a black leather conversion and a 5spd swap ;]

ehm?.... I tried to figure it out, google it eh? lol

Remove 2 doors, a B pillar, and,...

Oh ****, just buy a sportscar.

Remove the brakes, those things are way too heavy and you don't need them anyways.

There's way too much fluid in these cars. Never run your gas tank more than 1/4 full, use only 3 quarts of oil not 4, remove 1/2 the power steering fluid, transmission, fluid, brake fluid, and lastly radiator coolant. Oh, remove the back seats, they're useless.

while your at it just take out the engine...

Remove everything on the engine that is either belt or gear driven, AC Compressor, power steering pump, alternator, water pump, etc. This will get you a couple of ponies. The downside is that you will be hot, low speed turns will be a b1tch, the battery will run dead, and the motor will overheat. But definitely more power.

wash all the dirt off the car and wax it so it will slide through the wind

just take off anything you dont like to look at, that ought to do the trick!

pm ceasar he has a list of losing weight.

here is the weight reduction everyone was referring to:
how to make the maxima light

i used to always say, "the next best thing I can do to make my car faster is..." and my dad would always reply, "the next thing you should do to make your car faster is pull off the radiator cap and pull a corvette up under it and then screw it back on."

what???? i use the back seats all the time....

I meant other than for the horizontal bop, lol!

..::..

well thanks for all the stupid answers i got no one is serious on this site

as far as taking stuff off the car to gain hp, you could always cut off as much as possibly from your exhaust, that would free up some horses. but as far as taking some weight off to quicken the car start with your spare tire jack etc., and your back (and maybe even passenger if your serious) seat. also alot of weight is overlooked in the wheels and tires. normally the factory wheels are pretty light but most of the time if your thinking of getting aftermarket 18's they will probably just end up being anchors to your car.


welcome to maxima.org, and by the way sarcasm is always the first language spoken here.

I didnt give you a stupid answer with the weight reducition site. There really isnt anything you can remove to gain horsepower that wont effect daily drivability. The best you could do is weight reduction, and thats even minimal w/o removing seats etc. You could remove the a/c compressor and by pass that, ~20-30lbs less and maybe a hp or 2 and same for the powersteering. You can remove the snorkel part of the intake and do the OSCAI, but thats about the closest you can get. You could get a y pipe, which removes the precats, but you have to buy something to lose something. Or you could get light rims and save a few pounds too.

ahahaha, oh.... maaaaan....

horizontal bop... nah just lean the drivers seat back and let the fun begin.. thus making the back seats useless

That worked for me Friday night ;-). Actually it was the passenger seat, because then there was no steering wheel in the way.

I guess that might work better

Seriouslly what kind of answer did you think you were going to get? Something like "remove your backseat and gain 15hp!"? Everyone gave you the answers, including a website, and you say they are stupid now?

shave the thread off your tires, make em bold.... saves weight and turn ratio.. tons of power !!!!!!........i saved 3 sec on my 1/4 time slip whoooohoooooo!!!
