Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Friday night I went to the track with a couple other Z guys from the Dallas area. My best time of the night was: R/t ... -.088 opps 60' ... 2.072 330... 5.610 1/8 ... 8.456 MPH... 88.36 1000... 10.926 1/4... 12.987 MPH.. 107.84 This was ofcourse the best of the night and I just ran the one 12 but, ran several low 13's earlier in the evening. The tempature was hot and most of the guys were saying the track was slippery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 WOW. You're 60' wasn't all that impressive, and your MPH doesn't indicate that you had tons of power on board, but your time kicks ass in a 280zx! Looks like you drove a great race... If you can get those 60' times down you'll be solidly into the 12's. Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 20, 2003 Author Share Posted July 20, 2003 My combo. is just stuff I've copied and taken advise from members of Hybrid Z on and come together nicely. Basic rebuilt motor no machine work just some bearings and timing set. HKS intercooler kit made for the ZX but, I redid the pipes they were very weird as they came from HKS. Purchased used. Profec B 2 1/2 into 3" manderal bent DP and exhaust system. I made Ported exhaust manifold Weber 60mm T-Body Lightened stock flywheel. Clutch by Dial-a-clutch.com JWT 85 computer and MAF Purchased used Bosch adjutsable FPR 40 psi at idle Rebuilt TO4b-T3 turbo clipped turbine wheel. MAF to turbo pipe 3" manderal bent. I made 87 LSD with 3.7 gear ratio One thing that helped me was the LSD I really didn't pick up that much in the 60' but, it seemed to help once I got the car moving and shifting into second and third gear. It's alot of fun around corners though. My tires are some cheap 17" tires that I put on when I put the rims on. I used the cheapies just to get the car rolling again and was going to upgrade asap. Well as always other things came up and I never got around to getting new tires. I think if I had some Drag Radials I would definatley improve the 60' and the rest of the run. I've also got a set of Energy Supension rear control arm bushings that I need to install. I'm getting some wheel hop in first if I don't make the tires spin pretty good off the line. I'm hoping by installing the bushings it will help to control the rear end better and not let it move around so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug71zt Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 This is just my experience but I don't think that the improvement that you'll get with DR's justifies the cost unless you are going to run them all the time. I am going to 16" MT ET streets for the track. I had Nitto DR's and they just don't hook like a slick. I was blowing them away at 3500 coming off the line. They hook better than the Khumo's that I run on the street but they aren't slicks. I got my best time by walking them out of the hole with the clutch - pretty expensive launch technique though. 1,83 60Ft. I should be able to get 1.5-1.6 out of slicks. Just my opinion - Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Cody - that is fantastic! I would be very happy with that. Congrats! Regards - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Very nice time! I hope to join you soon, but I may need to replace my slipping Centerforce clutch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Dr's will help, you can probably pick up 2 tenths of a second with them. I have found I run my best times just revving up to about 3 to 3.5k and dumping the clutch, that gets me into the 1.8-1.9 60 foot times. I want to try slicks and see what happens there, and I need a clutch for sure if I go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
