I'm rpetty sure no-one makes a lightweight front end specifically for the Z, if you're serious about weight reduction you could get a universal tubular kit for a drag car with a manual rack and retrofit it without roo much drama, you'll just have to fab the engine mounts and make it fit the frame, although the Z31 crossmsmber isn't too bad really, the struts carry most of the weight, of course a full tubular drag setup would replace them as well, and if you want to stay more streetable, consider ditching the power headlights and run driving lights in the drill, and pull the heavy bumper from under the bumper cover, ditch the a/c convert to manual steering, move the battery to the rear, most of the emissions can be removed if you switch to a stand alone

pull the heavy bumper from under the bumper cover

do you mean the crash protection?and yes this is a drag only car.a/c is gone,batery is in the back and i'm runing skinnies up front, full tube frame is lot of work.thanks for the info

yup, if it's a strip only car you can remove a suprising amount of weight with the bumpers and brackets that would be dead weight on a drag car
