[Another Socal LSX Datsun on the Road]

I haven't done the rears yet. I am getting the car ready to go to Streets of Willow with a bunch of friends Dec 13th.

 

As for the weight tranfer, I figure if I want to have that crazy squat for some drag racing I can purchase some 100-150 in/lbs rear springs to help out or I also have another set of stock struts lying around which could be swapped in if I felt so inclined.

[Another Socal LSX Datsun on the Road]

what strut/spring you using?

I literally just walked in from finishing up the front install for my coilovers and AZC Wilwood kit. I'm using the stock strut housing(modified a bit), 10"x2.5" eibach coil over springs(225 in/lbs front and 250 in/lbs rear), and Tokico blues for now.

 

damn, this thread is motivating me to find a LSx soon to swap in

git er dun!

[Vids of my 420rwhp LS1 280z at the track.]

Those runs were on the stock 280z diff so yes open and 3.54 sounds correct.

 

Its now has the Q45 VSLD diff and MM axles/adapters. I kept snapping axles on the street when I put on the 235/45/17s so they had to go.

 

heres a couple somewhat newer vids of her in action

 

11.4 run on 235/45/17s:

true...I'll be lowering it soon and I take it through the Santa Monica mountains pretty regularly. Also plan to go to Willow Springs so I'd like to get it as ideal as possible.

 

haha side note...i was on youtube just now and happened to see this...

thought I'd share...lol

yeah mine weighs very near 50/50. With very little gas in the tank it came in at 2530lbs. (1290lbs Front and 1280lbs Rear) With me in it, it becomes a about 40lbs ass heavy. I'll be taking the full size battery out of the trunk area tho and likely going to an Odysey PC680 in or near the stock location to help alleviate that.

I can see how USA came to the mis-conclusion of going off Decker 10 times (doesn't take a genious to realize what J was talkin about) but yeah he does seem to have a stick in his butt.

[A few Pics the from the weekends run through the Santa Monica mountains]

Well damn...I think you were prolly goin a lil more balls out then I do. I'm just out havin fun...not gettin too crazy. Great stories!

[A few Pics the from the weekends run through the Santa Monica mountains]

hmmm not sure about the target...but on the weekends there are definitely TONS of bikes (motor and cyclists), tons of exotics, and Jay Leno often comes out in some crazy rig.

Watching some racing there would be really cool with the lookout as a vantage point. I usually stand there for a while watching all the guys havin fun goin up and down. Musta been so much fun back then!

Me and my buddy took Latigo back down to PCH and cruised home. Its alotta fun and we do it pretty often. Have you been down Tuna canyon?...its a one way downhill section that dumps you at PCH and is supertight! I really need some better brakes for that section.

[VQ240z Update: Lots of Pictures]

Damn...just awesomness

[A few Pics the from the weekends run through the Santa Monica mountains]

I completely agree...all in good time(aka money). We are both on stock 34+ year old suspension...haha. No rubbing but the rear fender inner edges are rolled because they used to on mine. The blue Datsun is unmodified and expereinces no rubbing.

Me and my buddy's LSX/T56 Datsuns pushin hard through the twisties...Lotsa fun!!!

 

Does anyone know who belongs to this badass Datsun 280Z that was out on Saturday 6-8-2009?:

[Down on power]

They don't really increase FP. The FP will just go to what is initially set without vacuum. Actually, I always set FP with the vacuum line disconnected.

ok fine...they reduce fuel pressure in vacuum conditions
