jnjdragracing Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This past weekend I took the Z to the track after doing some updates. The last time I had it at the track was April 2018. I went to Thunder Valley Dragstip in Red Springs, NC. First pass I snapped the 4 bolts that bolt the driveshaft to the pinion flange. I can’t complain because they have been in the car for 12 years. I got them replaced. Went to the starting line and went a 5.23 in the 1/8 th did not have the mph. Now guys this is a stock R200 with 300ZXT CV axles and stock stub axles. First off all the glory to God!!! I have a Great friends and family. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 That's great to see the old R200 holding up to those figures. Out of curiosity, what are your power/torque figures on your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhead Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I would like to know too. I am running an R200 shortnose in an LS swap and am a bit apprehensive about it holding up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has had no problem running 500hp and 490lbft and thats an older long nose too, the newer short nose I imagine would be stronger. Of course with really wide drag radials it might be different.

Yes, N/A...it is the 525 HP/480 LB FT LS3. No drag radials or even drag starts planned. Glad to hear you have had good luck with a similar setup. I should just quit worrying and run it....I am committed now anyway. If it breaks I will have to come up with something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelsonian Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Holy Crap! that is good news as I acquired a long nose R200 and recently bought the AZC "track pac" to go with it. I am only planning on high 500 to low 600hp from a 2jz with high boost on E85 and most likely running at a lower boost more often. I was skeptical of this route, but wanted to eliminate the stub axles and get at the time available parts so I can resume the body work and wheel spacing. Your car is a Beast!!!
