150kg weight loss is possible but will require $$ on aftermarket parts
Things you will definitely need:
After market exhaust and test pipes
Remove the spare tire and tools
Smaller and lighter battery
Aftermarket front seats

Thank you for your quick answers
I understand, but the price is not a problem
even if it should change little by little
Can you make an example for our g37 please?

Jack and tools - roughly 30lbs
Titanium Exhaust - roughly 40lbs assuming the stock exhaust is 55lbs
Passenger seat - roughly 73lbs
Replace Driver seat with racing seat - 50lbs
Light weight wheels assuming 18.2lbs fronts, 19.2 lbs rear - 40lbs
Resonated Test Pipes - roughly 10lbs
243lbs = 110kg's
That's the best I've done while still maintaining comfort and without removing rear seats, I keep my passenger removed because it's easier to ferry my daughter in and out so that's my reasoning. I'm sure you could peel some more weight but thus far that's how much I dropped with parts.

very nice thank you my friend ...
I think if you change some parts mechanic, it should easily gain a few kg
no?
I have the opportunity to gain horsepower (about 55-60 horsepower) and 37-40 newton
no mechanic changing parts
55 horsepower and 200 kg less would be a good performance for the G37S
What do you think? please?

I wouldnt worry about the power piece, most bolt ons tuned will yield those power results. To shave an extra 100 kg though will be rough. Seats and interior will pretty much have to go, removal of the moonroof and replacement, etc.

Doors are pretty heavy too, but they provide structural support

if money is not a problem, why not just
has anyone actually open the door panels and see what can be remove without making the door unsafe?
if money is not a problem then why not just built a killer motor with FI and keep the nice seats and just change to lighter brake rotors and wheels?

Also, remove all sound deadening materials.
If you plan on making this a show or track car, remove all interior altogether, replace driver seat with a lightweight racing one and replace the entire dash with a digital speedo/dash.
Also, remove all wheel, trunk and hood liners.
With these and everything else already listed, you should be able to get down to 2,900lbs. if not less.

If money is not a problem, you could also have the quarter panels replaced with FG or some other composite material.

the car is so light
one g37 1000 kg
But frankly without going too far, I do not want to remove the seats or trims ...
But changing rotors, rims, the exhaust, remove the spare wheel, change the flywheel, the pulley with it is already not bad
