I wanted to compare the weight of 5th gen maximas in here. Sorry 3rd gen guys, I copied your idea ...I was looking at my registration last night and it said the weight of my car was 3150lbs which seems awfully light for a 5th gen. I know in general they arent that heavy but only 3100lbs?

The stock exhaust components are heavy as hell and I upgraded to hotshot headers and a cattman exhaust which are really light in comparison so Im wondering how much weight I shedded off with that. Would that count as weight reduction?

Plus...I have cloth (heated cloth seats) and I believe those weigh less than leather...is that right?

Im hoping this is the right section btw...if not, mods please move it. Everyone's registration should have vehicle weight...but I dont know if it varies by states

 

Unless any one has actually values from a scale, this thread will be here -->

 

im actually just looking for stock numbers which should be on the registration. but even scale numbers would be cool...

 

From my experience in owning half a dozen different vehicles, the weight listed on the registration is rarely accurate. Do you have any scrap yards or transfer stations in your area, those places have vehicle scales and I am sure you could get your car on one there without much hassle. There is also always the track, if you can wait for one to open up!

 

Too much with heavy **** wheels and subs in the trunk

 

wow...I had no idea the reg. numbers were inaccurate. I figured they were weighed before they left the factory and those numbers were put on the registration. Since every maxima is a different weight I assumed the reg. numbers would be pretty accurate (+/-). Im going to the track in May so I guess I'll get a pretty accurate idea then

 

This site: http://www.thecarconnection.com/Vehi...180.A4347.html says 3224 for the 6 speed, 3218 for the automatic.

http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jk/02maxima.htm 3221 for a 6 speed

http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2002/...pecifications/ 1486 kg, which works out to about 3269.

Of course, it depends too on how the car is equipped and what you carry around in your car as well.

how much more can the leather weight compared to cloth? 1lbs?

 

lol at thread but why would a automatic be lighter then a stick, in doing 5 speed swaps, the 5spd trans you can pick up yourself the automatic helll nooo its as if the automatic is almost 100 pounds heavier

 

I love it when I clean my car, and after removing 2 pounds of garbage my car feels like a race car. haha

 

Im pretty sure the 6spd models are a good 100 or more pounds lighter than the 4at's.

 

how about bose and non-bose?
just kidding.
my car is still full stock, so it should be stock weight.

 

3218 according to the research I have done. That's what I'm sticking with until I can get it on a scale.

 

I would assume so. I've always thought manuals were lighter. I owned a 02 auto and now own 03 6 speed and the 6 speed feels lighter.

 

My LSD Auto is about 207lbs dry including the TC. The lsd is about 14lbs heavier than non lsd auto.

 

You're able to detect a difference of 100lbs between 2 cars? Amazing if so.

 

3273lbs on scales

5.0 gen SE 5spd, cloth seats, moonroof, non-bose, stock exhaust, BC coilovers, OEM 17, all fluids, gas tank 1/4 full + spare tire.
