JustAFantaZ Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Dammmm should be able to launch at 6-grand endlessly with these swaps (see vid link below). I broke in June and now you broke, Idunno what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfritts911 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Man seeing that makes me want to give in and go SRA more and more. Did the CV survive other than the tore boot? Cause if you have to get another CV from the drive shaft shop that is going to be an expensive repair. Does someone sell billet, or the like, inner stub axles? I know MM sells the 280z outer stub axles but don't see the inner stub axles anywhere. Do you think yours was just wore out cause I don't think I've seen anyone else break the inner stub? That sucks though man, you were definitely about to break 6.xx, that thing is getting down! -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 CV was fine. Just the input shaft for the diff. The turbo ls1 S13/14 guys always break these. ... I just don't know whats the next step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfritts911 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 You know what the next step is, you just don't want to do it. 8.8 or 9 inch SRA. Or an automatic swap. Either fix the weak links or swap out the weak link breaker(Damn clutch cars...) -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd LOVE to get in some curves with this. however, this year is mostly over for the drivers in my climate. winter is fast approaching.

RebekahsZ Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yeah, I've already got a list of winter projects. When you get a chance please show and tell more about your launch control systems. I was thinking about a cam this winter but your trouble makes me shy away from making more power. I may focus on handling and make next summer an autocross year. I've got a few more trips to the strip this year before I call my "summer of the z" over. Love your videos. Wfritts, take another look at that photo and you'll see what's up. Just yesterday I saw a whole q45 package in our classifieds for 400 bucks. That's what coltgt45 was running into the 6s. Some of his was t56 before going to t350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFantaZ Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Haha sorry. We didn't get back from the track till almost 3 AM, so i slept kinda late. Yep, and the other half of the broken axle is still in the hole, so no worries there. I had the tires at 14# cold. I have to give a HUGE shout out to my buddy Kyle at 1320video. He put together this video (from two weeks ago). If you dont know who 1320 is, GET WITH THE PROGRAM. Just watched the vid. Reminds me of when I drove the green Z in the vid I posted from California to Texas. I ripped out half the sound system so I could fit my luggage + the ET Streets, one in the back and one on the passenger seat lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Does your 2-step deactivate at the top of the clutch pedal travel, or when you first come off the floor? Does your line-lock release have the same release switch, or is it independently controlled? From the video it looks like you had a line-lock working back when you were running those 7.11s, or was that left foot braking on the burn-out?

SUNNY Z Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Does your 2-step deactivate at the top of the clutch pedal travel, or when you first come off the floor? Does your line-lock release have the same release switch, or is it independently controlled? From the video it looks like you had a line-lock working back when you were running those 7.11s, or was that left foot braking on the burn-out? All those runs were on the foot brake. I had some issues on friday, so half the passes were with the line lock, the other half not. As front biased as my brakes are, I have NO problem doing brake stands. I heel-toe the brake gas and use my left for the clutch. Here's the clutch switch setup - I wasnt kidding about simplicity. The line lock is completely independent. I have an "arm" switch with an LED on it, and then a big momentary right beside it, in the ash tray location. Once I got the 2 step adjusted correctly, it worked great.

RebekahsZ Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Freakin' amazing how you make complicated problems into simple solutions. I don't know if it will make a difference, but I'm gonna try to make my line-lock deactivate at the top of the pedal stroke when the clutch has been let out, instead of at the bottom. It may just kill the motor (bog), but it will be my attempt to not hit the drivetrain all at once. I'm gonna turn the line-lock off at the bottom where your switch is so that there is less chance that I can come off the 2-step with the line-lock still on. I think one of the early real challenges for my clutch was when I did a big smokey burnout for friends on dry pavement-I had unknowingly left my parking brake on-clutch wreeked for the rest of the day.

SUNNY Z Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Lol please get it on video. Could work great... or not, time will tell! I do what I can! I'm trying to decide what to do now that the z31 parts are breaking.... 8.8 IRS? Edited October 1, 2012 by SUNNY Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 That video was great. I'm starting on the wiring for my 2-step. Did you use the suction cup mount for your go-pro when you had it on the back 1/4 panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use the suction cup mount for your go-pro when you had it on the back 1/4 panel? Yeah. As of right now, thats the only way I have to mount it. It works good though. I've seen them hang on at 200+... so i'm not worried lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yeah, I love that angle. What panel did you suck the suction cup down on? The fender is curved-did it hold OK there, or did you put it on your hatch or maybe the glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNNY Z Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 It holds just fine on the fender. Any mostly flat, clean surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nsm0l3m4n Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) I'm with you - F trailers. Although you need a roof rack to do it right. Gotta leave the passenger seat for bros or ladyfriends Did you post your cam specs anywhere? It sounds pretty aggressive. Considering possibly doing a mild-medium cam, long tubes, ls6 intake over the winter and could use some info.

SUNNY Z Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 ^ Thats awesome! I want a roof rack, I just didn't know where to find one! Its not much of a big boy (the cam). 228/230 .588/.591 on a 112* LSA Actually pretty small in the cam world. Torque for days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
