Major weight reduction list
Hi everyone!! This is my very first thread and I’d like to update a pre existing post to see if there is any updated list of weight reduction options to remove. I’d also like to know what’s the lowest weight that we’ve achieved in the g37? I know I have the awd so it’s a little different but not by much. Please don’t hesitate to list as many things as you can. I already started tearing into my floor because of mold (car was at a dealership for 3 months and a bottle of coolant leaked) . I’m gonna end up getting dry ice and removing the sound deadening. I removed my sunroof as well because I had to fix my sunroof drains (that also caused mold in the passenger front seat). I am sure there is some weight to reduce from seats and adding two race seats. I know some more but I’ll let you all list what you can for me and what I could gain from this racing wise in theory. Like how much time we believe it could shed off my 60ft, 1/8 mile , 1/4 mile 0-60 , etc..

Not so much weight reduction, as I believe that's been covered, but weight shifting might be to your benefit. Especially with AWD.
Like move or remove the windshield wiper resivior. That water weight is forward of the front axle! Gotta be helpful
lLghtweight and/or relocate the battery
Front fenders, front wheel/tire combo, front brakes, door supports.
Can you get a corner weight numbers for your car now, and after your changes?
Of course you shouldn't **** with the doors without a full cage and harness. Or go too light with the front wheels/brakes unless your drag racing only.
So, is it a street car? Track, drift, drag.
do you want to need a trailer?
Like seriously, you'll hate life without that sound deading, unless your wearing a helmet and earplugs everytime you drive.
With a cage and harness you can ditch the dash, heavy *** radio and other modules.
Heater core, side glass
THE A/C
You'd better check the rulebook(s) of whatever events you want to participate in.
But then again, race guys put cooled suits on to race
BTW, how did you go about deleting the sunroof? Plexiglass panel? Steel? Or?
