Whats the best carbon fiber part to put on the car to lose the most weight ?? except doors lol ive been trying to get the z1 driveshaft but there always outta stock!!! also what are some good light weight seats for a decent price ??

 

Pretty well any good brand name of racing seat such as Sparco or Recaro will help save significant weight. Just getting rid of all the electric seat motors is significant enough. I have heard people losing close to 100 pounds by swapping seats. Just do your own research, every site will have the weights listed for their products. As well in my opinion carbon fiber is quite a waste of money. I would suggest investing in a light weight battery to start.

PLEASE SEARCH, this questions has been covered several times.

 

Lighter rotors, lighter seats, removing your spare tire, lighter battery(from a 24F to a 35 series battery or even a lighter product - optima red top), lighter wheels, remove back seats, gut the car out?

 

ive been thinking about a light weight battery but kind of scared of it die'n on me its my dd nd its fully loaded with navi and everything ...i was thinking about a deka weighs 17.5lbs and there 100 shipped the vette guys use them..

 

got lighter wheels , trunks gutted,removed rear seats but thats the most i want to do to the interior except for lighter front seats... im looking into battery, carbon fiber parts that are worth it and drive shaft

 

I wouldn't worry about the battery losing charge on you, the car's alternator should be able to provide enough wattage to power the car's electrical systems while it is running. Just don't use all your accessories for extended periods of time with the car not running.

 

alright kool i think im going to go with the Deka ETX30L

 

If you really want to lose weight, losing weight that's in front of the front windshield will be most beneficial. With that said, getting rid of the heater core and a/c are always two of the best ways to lose a lot of weight.

 

why not pick up a cf drive-shaft? rotational weight will make the most noticeable difference, it's something like 1lb rotational mass is equal to 5lbs static. the only really heavy static weight in your car is the seats, they weigh like 80lbs each, so picking up some 20 to 30lbs seats will actually make difference.

 

price on the cf drive shaft ?? or who sells them ?? z1 makes the aluminum 1 but they never in stock

 

Sounds to me like you bought the wrong car. I've never seen the point in buying an Infiniti and then gutting it. Why not just buy a 350z instead, the whole point of the G is the 2 + 2 seating

 

had two 350z tons of problems got the g not 1 problem too date lol weird because there bascally the same car... and when i need to take people around i just throw the back seats baq in takes no more than 20min for me

 

Still sounds to me like a 240sx or something is more your style lol

 

Did you get the cf hood and front fenders? I know the oem fenders are 25lb of dead weight.

 

+1

I think most racing seats will be quite a bit lighter in weight, especially the ones that are carbon or carbon kevlar.
