[Went to the track last night.]

Very impressive!When are you going back to the track?

[TH400 trans damage]

Ouch! Looks like it's time for an Ultrabell.You should probably check your pump and converter neck.

[Post your Z licence plates...]

I have had my personal plate for 3 years now.It matches the car since it comes from Japan and it has a monster engine.

[Your rear end setup!]

Satan I would like to be able to kill it off the line like jnjdragracing,but I leave the line at 1800 and quickly shove the throttle down engaging the nitrous 30-40 feet from the starting line.I used to run 1.46 60 foots with the small block and ran a best of 1.50 60 foot with the big block on an "easy launch".The engine is built for nitrous and there is a fogger kit in the garage along with a progressive nos controller to be installed.

I am fairly confident that it could be in the eights with this same rear setup,but I would have to be very careful on how I launched.

I also have an r230 rear sitting in the garage to be installed at a later date.

[Your rear end setup!]

Well I'm still running stock 71 240 half shafts and stubs.Rear is a 3.73 r200 (welded diff) with few hundred passes on this setup plus years of street abuse. I have broken 1 halfshaft u joint with a 406 sbc on 150 shot of spray and 1 with a 496 BBC on a 210 shot of juice.The car has run 10.23 with a sbc on spray.BBC ran 9.36 @ 148 with an easy launch on a 150 shot of juice, et streets and mufflers.

[Lets see your V8 in your Z.]

Here's a pic of my pump gas 496.

[Testing Our New Project]

That's wicked sounding!Can't wait to see a full pass!What spring rates front and rear are you running?Also race weight? Thanks John C

[New CV Joint, Diff conversion, brake swap in the Works!]

I am also waiting to see how the high hp tq guys make out with this conversion.

[New CV Joint, Diff conversion, brake swap in the Works!]

Has anyone completed this swap yet?I have been watching this forum and I'm on the fence about going this route or solid axle swap.I want to keep my 240 IRS as long as I can. Thanks John C

[Twin turbo SBC powered Z32 (56k beware)]

Firion_13 I'll let TwinTurbo know you have a couple of questions for him.I don't know how often he visits this site. John C

[big block z-install pics]

Hey Grumpy check Atlanticz.ca and go into the members gallery. My name is John Chandler and there's a couple good shots of my car with the big block in it.

[Tires at 300+ RWHP]

The problem with your tires is the rear suspension,it doesn't plant the tires under power.Thats the downfall of the irs,I know becuase I had the same problem a few years back with the bfg drag radials blowing of at 60-70 mph.My only satisfaction in traction was to swicth to et steets,handling baaadd but traction gooood.

[Show me your slips]

Info please? Awesome times!

[Show me your slips]

I knew someone would say that! They are street trim to me at 18 lbs,and I don't race around turns.I buy a new set every spring and sell them in the winter.I've done this 4 years now,and drive 20 minutes each way to work.

[Show me your slips]

71 240Z 2850lbs with driver.It runs 10.80 on the motor and 10.20 with a 125 horse shot of nos on pump gas in street trim.My 60 foots are 1.46-1.52.

[Blew It Up!!!]

Sorry you lost the small block Ron,but you must admit the Datsun sure gets a lot more attention than most of the other drag cars.I know mine does.

Shove that big block back in there man!

[Driveshaft loops for halfshafts?]

I've had a set on my 240 for the last 3 years.I have pics,but I don't know how to post them.

[video of the rb26z last trip to the track]

You're in the high tens with a quicker 60ft!Love the video of the 125mph run! John C

[Stock rear diff strength???]

They stand lots.My 406 makes 435 ftlbs at the wheels on the moter and 535 with a 100 shot of juice.It's the one wheel burnout's in the bleach box that kill the spider gear shaft.Put a posi in it or weld up the carrier. John C

[Top Speed?]

I only had my 240 up to 136mph,in the 1/4. Speedo isn't hooked up so I don't know if it's been any faster on the street. John C

[HEI Rotor arcs through CONSTANTLY]

Pete,

You wouldn't happen to be using a MSD 6 series ignition box? If so you should be using a high quality non tracking rotor and cap.Install with clean hands.

I had the same problem with my LS6 a few years backs.I ended up using a MSD pro billit distributer.(4 years no problems). John C

[I must own a Boxster??]

I havn't seen a Skoda in years.Butt ugly. John C

[I must own a Boxster??]

I tell people it's a Skoda!Haha. John C

[In case you didn't already know...]

You're lucky that hundred shot of nos didn't blow the welds on the intake. John C

[In case you didn't already know...]

I'll take two bottles!
