VG30DETT is a heavy sled in the world of import engines. It's about 175lbs heavier than a sr20det in the front and about another 35-40lbs heavier in the gearbox. While it may only be a 2% change in weight balance it's still going in the wrong direction. You can't pull that much out of front fenders, bodywork, and CF hood. There's not that much there to remove. If you did all the replacement work you might be 25lbs lighter with full carbon body parts.
