Guest ON3GO Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA... who beats 240sx's??? I DO! ok here how this whole shabang goes. im in class (for those of you that dont know im in auto tech school) which for this phase is High Performance Engine Building. So me and a few guys are talking and some how my Blue Z gets brought into the convo. at 1st some guys were asking whats the plans for it and i told them "turbo swap, and better brakes and thats it for this Z" well i guess one kid overheard it but didnt clearly hear correctly.... he thought my Z was already turbo'ed. so he starts making fun of the Z and whatnot, and we start sh!t talking. He kept on getting pissed when i kept calling his 1992 240sx a Fake 240. After awhile he goes "lets race, my 240 (240sx assmunch) VS your crappy old DATSUN!!" GAME ON! ok now to the guys on here that i dont talk to much on the phone, in person or on AOL, my blue Z is on its last leg, it dies on ya, runing richer then opra's tit and really just isnt in good shape. I have a 77 280Z with no bumpers, rx7 FD seats (so thats my weigh reduction), no air filter, ghetto 2.5inch exhaust which im sure the stock exhaust flows better and blue spark plug wires.... so im pushing some serious horsepower!!!!!!!!!! The Enemy... 1992 240sx hatchback with full exhaust, header, intake and suspension work. 1st run from a 15mph roll i beat him by 2 cars easy.... now i thought he would smoke me, i was just racing for the fun of it. and to be honest i never ever race so this was like a treat for me. 2nd run from a dead stop... KILLED HIM, like 4 cars easy.. i was power shifting like a mofo!!! we pull over and i ask him "what happened? why did ya lose to a old shatty datsun"... MAN O MAN!! was he pissed. he said "its not bad i guess, couldnt hear the turbo though"... I then jump in the car and pull next to him (he is stil sitting in his car) and i say "thats because its not turbo'ed yet sucker..... L28 OWNS YOU!!" and i pulled away in a blaze of glory spinning one wheel!! so who beats 240sx's??? I DO!! so ok ok ok.. i know its just a 240sx, but my Z is worse then stock, and the funny thing is the car always runs like crap but at the time of the racing it ran like a champ! Man i cant believe how happy i am, i cant wait for the feeling when i smoke some Z06's, Supras, and F-bodys... all of which are modified in the Hulk!!!

Chaparral2f Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Mike, This may seem a stupid question, but why don't you finish the green one? (seemed to me that it was nearly done) Then you'd be able to do some serious ass kickin'. Oh yeah, congrats on eatin the 240SX! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 The Hulk is getting done.. all it needs is interior and body work and then its done... well done for now. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Dude.. Im tellin ya.. These old 'stock' (or in my case and your case, WORSE than stock!) Z's LOVE being driven like that! Mine farts and coughs, runs rich, and the suspension is SHOT. But; beat the heck out of it, power shift, and generaly be as abusive as you can to it, and it will just suck it up and GO! And congrats on the destruction of that guys ego.. maybe he'll stop talking smak so much about 'old' cars.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Zorro Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 While you all are telling racing stories, I'll tell you one. About 15 yrs ago when I changed my 280 over to a 302 I was sitting at the light when a kid in a black 65 Falcon pulled up. He had a big cam and loud mufflers on it. When the light changed he got on it and pulled me about a carlength. I nailed the Z and caught up with him, when it shifted out of low it pulled ahead about a fender, and when it shifted into high I had him about a car. I was ahead about two cars when I slowed down to turn into the subdivision. Fast foward about 10yrs. I had the Z at the Firestation cleaning it up one day when one of the new Firefighters floated in to take the place of one of my guys that was off. He said "how long have you had that Z?" I told him and he started laughing. He said "you're the SOB that ruined my Buddy". He told me that after getting his doors blown off by what he thought was a 6 cylinder he had completely redone his Falcon. Made it into a pro street with 460, tube frame and all the goodies... said that he wasn't ever going to get smoked by a 6 cylinder again.

z-REX Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 oh that's good... in a way i guess you did him a favor!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Thats too funny Mike! I love it when you beat the guys that think their car is the fastest on the planet! It really brings them back down to reality! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2slo4u Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Yeah, these z cars love to be pushed hard. That's when they run best. Might idle rough, have strange rpm power curves, and sometimes seem like the computers just get confused, but they always seem to impress when called out! I just completed my 280 to 300zx ecu swap and I'm waiting for some poor sap with a fart can muffler and "vtec" to pull up beside me starting $h!t. Mine might not run perfectly, but he'd better be prepared to do some serious gear grinding to try to hang. 81zxturbo 95slobaruimpreza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 My more or less stock '71 will own just about any import on the street from a dead stop. The 'ole, Hook and run gets them EVERY time. Most front wheel drive cars spin too much from a stop. The Goldmember(my '71) can hook up on a wet bathroom floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I love it when you beat someone so bad you have to pull over and ask them why they didn't race. They are usually amazed about how bad they are beaten but, the why didn't you race comment puts a funny look on there face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2slo4u Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 My friend was over while I was putting some parts back on my zx one day and bragging how fast his 93or94 nissan hardbody with a 3 liter v6 was. He was like "Man it's faster than my rx7 was and that was as fast as your z." I told him even with my leaking exhaust manifold losing boost I would smoke his @$$. He HAD to race me after that. I actually believed he might have a chance, but what the heck, it's all in fun. After putting the parts on, we went to race. I held my brake and had the engine at about 2000rpm. When he said go, he started spinning and slowly taking off, at the end of first I was just about halfway in front of him, when I threw it in second, I left him like he was standing still. He still was trying to catch up almost a half mile down the road. I stopped and waited for him and when he pulled up beside me I said "What happened, man?" He of course told me about losing too much traction and this and that of course. He had the most confused (yet funny) look on his face...priceless!
