here's some you can do:

1. Take floor mats out
2. Aftermarket y-pipe weight at least 10lbs less than stock ones
3. Carbon fiber hood and trunk...

Here are some things you can do to lose some weight:
-Remove spare and jack
- Remove carpet
- Remove power steering
- Take out fog light and assemply
- Remove all sound deadening material under carpets
- Remove Sunroof (not very feasable)

How to Make the Maxima Weigh Less:

“*” Means that the track car has done part or all of the step. Other numbers have come from research and other maxima.org members that have kindly donated their numbers.

Odyssey 680t battery will shed 23 lbs and start the car fine.

Rotational weight you win 2 ways.
Centerline wheels are 14 lbs so you shed 44lbs and in the wheel deal section, a good buy.
