How much does your max weigh?

I wanted to compare the weight of 5th gen maximas in here. Sorry 3rd gen guys, I copied your idea ...I was looking at my registration last night and it said the weight of my car was 3150lbs which seems awfully light for a 5th gen. I know in general they arent that heavy but only 3100lbs?

The stock exhaust components are heavy as hell and I upgraded to hotshot headers and a cattman exhaust which are really light in comparison so Im wondering how much weight I shedded off with that. Would that count as weight reduction?

Plus...I have cloth (heated cloth seats) and I believe those weigh less than leather...is that right?

Im hoping this is the right section btw...if not, mods please move it. Everyone's registration should have vehicle weight...but I dont know if it varies by states

From my experience in owning half a dozen different vehicles, the weight listed on the registration is rarely accurate. Do you have any scrap yards or transfer stations in your area, those places have vehicle scales and I am sure you could get your car on one there without much hassle. There is also always the track, if you can wait for one to open up!

wow...I had no idea the reg. numbers were inaccurate. I figured they were weighed before they left the factory and those numbers were put on the registration. Since every maxima is a different weight I assumed the reg. numbers would be pretty accurate (+/-). Im going to the track in May so I guess I'll get a pretty accurate idea then

This site: http://www.thecarconnection.com/Vehi...180.A4347.html says 3224 for the 6 speed, 3218 for the automatic.

http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jk/02maxima.htm 3221 for a 6 speed

http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2002/...pecifications/ 1486 kg, which works out to about 3269.

Of course, it depends too on how the car is equipped and what you carry around in your car as well.

3218 according to the research I have done. That's what I'm sticking with until I can get it on a scale.

I would assume so. I've always thought manuals were lighter. I owned a 02 auto and now own 03 6 speed and the 6 speed feels lighter.

You're able to detect a difference of 100lbs between 2 cars? Amazing if so.
