Sub is 8.6 lbs don't know the weight for the extra wiring also don't know if they don't wire the cars for it. Airbags are probably 15 lbs What else is their? The ipod wire and floormats?

for 2010 its 3814 vs 3829 i think


09 is more because the side air bags wernt standard on base

I thought the heated seats (which should be heavier) were exclusive to the Premium?
MC
yeah they are

Doesn't the premium also have more speakers, more airbags, and heated front seats?

Does anyone here have a base model? I can't seem to find any for sale anywhere.

Premium has an 11-speaker Bose system, Base has a 9-speaker non-Bose system. Premium had side curtain airbags and heated seats. For 2010 the side curtain airbags were standard on Base as well.

Well with the new cut for 2011 we wont have to worry about the weight difference

Does anyone here have a base model? They seem to be pretty rare...

the weight difference is no more than 50 i believe I was reading the 2010 GTR booklet yesterday, i forgot the exact numbers though.

Not that I know of, i don't think anyone owns the base model, to my knowledge

i originaly ordered a base...but decided I need the airbags
cueship
Is there anyone here with a base model!?

I would also like to know how many Base model GTR's were sold, shipped to the USA? It was a waste of money for Nissan to offer a base model that really didnt have any significant weight, performance differences

I orginally ordered a base(first 2009 batch - ordered in March 2008)... white on black with mats. I wanted as light as possible. With me in it and 1/2 tank of gas it weighed 4025lbs on the scales. Zohair's Red premium weighed 4045 with 1/2 tank of gas with me in it. This is by far not an accurate test, but it should at least show that there is no substantial difference between the two!! FWIW, the car that made over 800hp weighed 4025 with 1/2 tank of gas and me in it. It is a premium also, but has wheels also.

I believe mine is a base due to not having floor mats or an Ipod wire, but I have heated seats and side curtain airbags. I have the cold weather package but I also bought it used to I'm not sure.

If it has heated seats it is a Premium.

Floor mats and iPod connection were options on both trims. I didn't even order floor mats and they came in the car no charge.

Well alright then.
