Look.....why are you even bothering?
If you wanted a lightweight car, with no interior (hense the lightweight) you should have asked for maybe an Evo...
If you really want to lighten your car, then I think you should sell it, and buy a 350z....that will lose you 200lbs right off the bat. After all, a G35 is just a 350z with stuff added to make it a more luxurious car.

I love my car audio....but I'm also concious of weight....So I have comprised my car audio...also it doesn't help that I'm 270lbs....ahhh but I still have beaten several cars....most notable 04' M3 convertible...yes there were 2 people in the car and the top was down...but I figure I weighed as much as both of them put together.

200 lbs weight reduction = 0.05% weight reduction.
0.05% = small weight reduction
small weight reduction = small acceleration gain
So, no there is no way to reduce the weight enough on the G35 so as to make it noticeably faster without reducing it to a POS worthy of a Kia label.

check your math.... 200lbs is 5.7% weight reduction, and it certainly matters
Unless of course you have one of those special 350,000 Lb G's, in which case it is only a 0.057% reduction....
200 LBs is huge as weight reduction goes, and if you shaved 350 lbs, that would be 10%, and have no doubt you'd know it.....
If you could easily add 10% power, you sure would
But beside the point... nothing in the car to give up to drop 200lbs
