If you would realize i drive an auto which means my car came with the heavy 17s so dont tell me my volks was not an upgrade 
I also needed a wider tire to hold traction as well so dont go criticizing someone elses build when you obviously dont know what your talking about. Im not expecting the fastest car in the world but I do know i want the advantage of useless stuff not on my car.

If you were truely performance minded you would have saved your money and just bought the 350z 18" track v1 wheels, which only weigh 18 lbs each and matched them with some sticky tires and 2 piece rotors. But the fact is you have done almost 0 performance mods to your automatic entry level luxury car.
If you really want to focus on removing useless stuff from your car, maybe you should start with the driver. Also the main purpose of this forum is to share information about the VQ platform, not to help you kids live out your Fast n Furious wet dreams.

You basically took what i said in the wrong context meaning I said i did not care about the luxury side of the car (which to me this car is not a luxury car when originally it is a nissan 350gt 
) and im an enthusiasts who didnt care for a sunroof that added weight as well as a bose stereo... just saying you guys do hate when someone wants the best of the car.
) and im an enthusiasts who didnt care for a sunroof that added weight as well as a bose stereo... just saying you guys do hate when someone wants the best of the car. It doesn't matter if its a nissan or infiniti. It's a entry level luxury car, 350gt or g35.
I'm not hating, but it seems like your making to big a deal out of 20lbs here and there at the expense of luxury.
I mean if your willing to go as far to rip your floor mats out to save weight, you really should have bought a Z. Can't rock a 2 seater? Then get an evo or something...
I mean you bought an automatic FFS...

^^^ im not making a big deal i saved money by not spending money on the sunroof and came out lighter its not a big deal , but you cant fault me its not like I am going to do the CF mod and spend alot of money. I simply wanted to enter my .02 of saying if you dont want the sunroof simply dont get it.

I agree. Lol at weight of floor and trunk mats
Why are you adding 275 flywheel horse power to 15 wheel horse power? How about it's a well known fact the VQDE engine with a 5AT is going to make about 235whp (generously) add your "15whp" to that for a whopping 250whp, now subtract 15whp for your 100,000 miles of abuse on the engine. Teehehe see how silly? Bench racing is awesome. I think that's the kind of enthusiast you are...
I said I used to be supercharged- I've made more power then you ever will on the G. I was into the "drag/road course" thing, but didn't wanna **** the car up on stock internals or flying into tires. Flush is not hellaflush. Fitment and stretch is a drifter style. And that is proven and is an autosport.

If I were doing ricer math, I would have claimed closer to 300hp. You do realize that whp is lower than flywheel hp 
I'm not loosing power on my 86K mile motor either. I've been working with the VQs since 1998. They only get stronger with age. Bench racing, how can I bench race if I'm actually racing the car at the strip and on the road course? Explain.
As for your drifter style, that is not performance driving, Mr. Boitano.

Yes, a new V6 Camry may have given my G (did low 14.3s stock) a run for it's money from a roll, but there's a lot more to performance than just acceleration. Just because a Camry is fast for an appliance, it's acceleration doesn't make it a sports sedan.
You guys sure get upset about pretty insignificant things especially when you obviously have no interest in the subject. Are you bored, maybe? A guy posts if someone makes a lighter lid to replace his moonroof and you punks become argumentive fools. He didn't ask for your opinion. Don't like it? Don't post.
I have no doubt a large group of people would purchase these things. It would be terribly easy to make if you had access to plastic injection molder.

You're bench racing in here trying to flex muscle about what your car can do.
The last statement you made is just ignorant.
As for your arguments about "don't like it, don't post" etc, etc, etc and all that other whiny ****.-- The same goes for you.

I assume I realize the difference between wheel horse power and flywheel horse power since my figures for whp are lower. No one goes by flywheel horsepower in the racing world, so I don't even know why you mentioned it and then tried to mix and match figures. I bet your car has never even seen a dyno other than your "***" dyno that gave you 15whp from an intake.

As for drifting, it is neither the fastest way around a track nor is a timed event. A sport? Sure. So is figure skating.

Insults. Good job. How am I not calculating for powertrain losses when I said your car makes AT THE WHEEL 235hp?
Answer the question. Why are you adding 275 flywheel horsepower and 15 wheel horsepower together? That is the problem, and there is a difference between the two (drive train losses, like you stated). Normally people talk just in wheel horse power when talking about performance...
Actually, I won't make you answer. You stated flywheel horsepower because you never have dynoed your car and don't have a clue.
I'm sorry. You win. I looked at your garage and mod list. Your gold painted calipers and 350Z pedals are what really make you an enthusiast. Running a 14.3 in a straight line makes you a bigger enthusiast than me. Swapping other stock parts from other Nissans onto your car makes you a true enthusiast, indeed. It looks like I'm mistaken.
Get your **** and insults out of my thread, because Tian can tell you, you don't wanna ride this pony mother****er.
