Your car is beautiful. Just wanted to let you know.

 

Were all beautiful. Its whats in the inside that counts

 

Buy the carbon fibre body from nismo and an all carbon race body. Gut the whole car but the essentials. Or buy a Lotus Elise and tt it.

 

^ Carbon fiber body from Nismo. I have not seen this yet, you got a link?

 

it's in my book from motorsports. have to call for price.

 

My JIC single 3" was 9.8lbs....OP contrary to popular belief 06's DO NOT weigh more than other year Z's. We had a local track day with Z's and weigh a doezen cars or more. 06' Z's were on par with 03's and in 2 cases lighter than them. Dunno why Nissan claims more weight scales dont lie. Most were 3220-3240lbs, lightest was 3180lbs....

 

Very interesting info, Alberto. I wonder why Nissan would announce anything about the weight increase in the first place then?

 

*Take out the AC
*Dry carbon hood, fenders, doors, trunk,
*lightweight glass
*Titanium exhaust system
*gut out interior (or do what I'm going to do replace the parts with dry carbon )

Well thats just off the top of my head.

 

I can't believe nobody mentioned this yet, but wheels. There are definitely lighter wheels than the stockers.
