Ecotec Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I was just thinking what it would take to get a 510 to 1500lbs with motor and everything. Start out with a 2 dr, completely gut it with only race essentials, then do a complete carbon fiber body and lightweight aluminum wheels, and what would be the lightest engine we could throw in there that would make 300hp?

Ecotec Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Ok well we would have to add in a full roll cage because from my calculations this car would do 0 to 60 in under 3 secs and the 1/4 mile in 10.5, talk about a good time! Quote Link to comment

sssr20det510 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 im sure his 510 is way less than 1500 pounds its called a hotwheels Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 The answer is no. If you want a lightweight race car, start with a B13 Sentra coupe, and make it tube frame and RWD with L series. It will be lighter than a comparably equipped 510. Ask any guy who does road racing. ALTHOUGH: If you took the 510 down to body only, made a mold, and then made it out of carbon fiber, yes, you could get it to 1500 pounds, maybe less. Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 you could also save the hassle and just buy a 1200 for a very lightweight car. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Anything removed would be negated by: A... the roll bar... if for nothing but to add rigidity to the car for all the 'stuff ' removed to save weight in the first place. B.. the new 300hp engine. Stock L16 is around 255lb... do the math. What does 300hp weigh anyway???? Maybe a tube frame and integral roll bar with 'plastic' body bolted on to it. Somewhat like a Funny Car. Plastic windshield only no glass. Motorcycle battery. Quote Link to comment

philip1 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 1900# is a more realistic goal. 1500# 510 won't happen not for Datsun owner money. My race car comes in at 1400#+/- but it's the toyota answer to the 1200 datsun and has 58hp if you want a light car start with a light car nuff said Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 anything is possible if you are rich and want to dump enough money into it to save 4-500 pounds, If you have ever ridden in a 300 hp 510 it is fast enough you dont need to lose the weight Quote Link to comment
