Nissan LS240, if you don't mind me asking what did your car weigh in the end? I'm trying to get my 04 GTO down to 2,500 lbs

Went with the sikky kit, expensive but I like because theres no modification to the subframe or spacers involved, so stock suspension geometry is retained. got the sikky headers, and power steering kit, kit comes with their oil pan and driveshaft, I got their aluminum shaft and opted for the solid motor mounts.

Did my own wiring, I basically took everything out then drew up a diagram on paper got 10 rolls of wire of different color and wired all my lights, power windows, horn, fuel pump, etc, using some existing switches from the 240 and some extra ones I put in, no a/c though, motor harness is seperate from accesory harness.

Car was a SE model was already 5 lug,

Pretty much took everything out the car, no back seats, used a fuel cell, no a/c, replace dash with a fiberglass one, removed bumper reinforcements, all interior panels removed, factory wiring removed (surprisingly heavy), went to a truck stop to get it weighed 2638lbs with me in it and 5 gallons of fuel,

there's no cage in the car now i'll probably cut out some more stuff when I do put one in.
