How much weight have you shed on your Max?
With all my mods, I figured I dumped out 85 lbs in excess weight off my Max.
Stillen Y-pipe -18 lbs RT cat -2 lbs Removed Bose headunit -3 lbs Prelude seats -20 lbs 16" Kosei K1 wheels -8 lbs Stillen B-pipe -14 lbs removed hood liner -2 lbs None aftermarket items removed: Addco sway bar -18 lbs Total weight reduction: 85 lbs Dave |
People really don't realize how much it effects performance.
|
I'm sure I've shed a couple of pounds off the car... maybe I should shed a couple off myself now. :D
|
:laugh: my max only gains weight.. 52 pounds a wheel, 100 some odd pounds in the trunk.. extra 20 pounds in the infiniti seats.. etc etc
my max needs to go a diet |
I would guesstimate that I have lost nothing from stock. when I ran at the track without spare + seats then i would say I save about 100 lbs.
|
I wish I could take some extra weight off of mine... 100 pounds would do wonders at the track.

I'm talking about the sunroof and stuff, the hard stuff to take out. I may do that at Island on Dec. 2nd, and 14s here I come.:)
BTW, I don't like the idea of taking out stuff like seats, makes me think that I'm cheating. |
Last time @ the track w/ me in the car i weighed in at 3185lbs @ E-Town.
I had the Tokicos & GC"s in. Way less then OEM w/Intrax. Stripped 47^2ft of dynamat. 1/8 tank of gas. Y-pipe also was way less then OEM. The only weight adder i had was a 30lb tank of NOS. THis is in my 99 auto. What else do you guys weigh in at? BTW-Dave, any difference w/ the RSB off? I knwo that suckeris heavy! |
Istill had my 17s on, with 1/3 tank of gas and all of the seats, the jack and the tools still in my trunk. No spare though.

:laugh: That spare weighs 20 lbs.

I've done the opposite, but I've gained weight on the Maxima. I estimate my 2 15" subwoofers, amps and stereo equipment to be around 110-120 pounds by itself. The position they are in the trunk means its even worse for lifting up the front end of the car. When I race, I race full interior and spare tire and jack in place. I realize its a tad bit slower, but Im trying to get a realistic time of what my car would do on the street with full equipment.
|
That is why some of us dont remove out interiors for a more realistic time. I like to know what i would run on the street. Obviosuly if we reduce weight we wll be faster on the track. :)
You know what they say, race what you bring. I dont know many people if anyone who strips their car for street racing. |

When you go ot the track, you don't race for money.

stynki you remember the kid from hillsborough meet 1, in the mustang who wanted to race for slips with his el camino.. that was funny.
|
what can I say... up in TO every other car is stripped. I just did mine because i wanted to be the fastest NA maxima in the world

Hmm, yea i guess TO is diff then NJ hehe. I dont blame ya for taking your interior out though. That is def the way to go when you are tryin to be the fastest NA max though. |
