Hey guys,

I recently went to the 1/8th mile strip, and I figured that removing the rear seats and the contents of the trunk area would do me some good.

I'll say this up front, it didn't really make a difference. Surprisingly, the rear seats are very light with the heaviest part being the arm rest. When adding in the trunk mats, it was not a total weigh savings of more than 50lbs (I am not including the spare donut). I didn't weight everything, but it was NOT a lot of weight, and taking out the rear seats made no difference on my trap or ET (I'm going off of uncorrected times).

Here are some pics if anyone is wondering what a G35 without rear seats looks like. You can also marvel at my cloth interior and wonderful 16inch wheels.

Enjoy!









Also, does anyone know what the circular thing with the "FR" is?

 

omg you need to upgrade that interior asap

 

cloth interior? I had no idea they came like that!

 

How much weight did you remove? 7-8 lbs? Lot a work for not much results...

 

Yeah, the cloth always gets people. It's a true base model, cloth, auto, no sunroof, no power seats, no heated seats, no NAV, no BOSE, 16's.

It was a colossal waste of time, but it was cool to do. My verdict is that if you're going to the track just remove all of the rear trunk mats, etc., and leave in the seats.

 

lmao@ your screen name..

 

My empty G. The coupe rear seats weigh right around 50lbs as well.

 

the circular thing that says FR looks like a fuel pump but i dunno if the g`s have 2?

i know when i had my hatch, the fuel pump was in the same place and looked just like that

 

The fuel pump is under the cover on the passenger side.

 

That's something you don't see everyday.

I try to keep it creative.

Thanks for the info guys!

 

FR just means Front.

 

the G's have 2 floats. 1 is in the passenger side, primary and the other is the secondary.
