Guest RON JONES Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I was up at My brothers house in N.H. last week and got to drive His 77 280Z a few times.He has a 375HP 327 SBC w/t-56 in it.Boy what a blast it is to drive!I loved it!He did a very nice JTR conversion.I wish I had My Camra with Me so I could of showed You guys the conversion.My bad .He took it to the track and it ran a 13.70@ a little over a 100.That was with sreet tires and a bit of tire spin.It feels a lot faster than that driving it on the street!

jap tin Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hi Ron. How's it going with your Z? I just put on titanium drive studs and aluminum wheel nuts, drilled rear rotors and an aluminum pinion yoke. eight hundred bucks for 3.8 pounds. Are we racers stupid or what. Ran last wekend 105 deg. and over 4000 ft air, Damm, August here sucks. Still ran mid 8.60's though, maybe that negative 3.8 pounds helped.

Guest RON JONES Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Yea,I'm fairly sure My brothers car with run in the 12's with "hook".As far as My car goes Jon,its running good.I havn't been doing that great as far as driving goes though.I get through two rounds every week,buts thats it.Last week I lost in the second round by.002 second!!!!Thats been the story all year.You need a little luck in this sport,and the only luck that finds Me is bad luck.the car has gone a best of 8.61 this year.Thats at the slow track(LVD).

pparaska Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hey Ron, How about trailering that bad boy BB Z of yours down to the Southeast Z Shootout ? Only half kidding! JapTin, you're welcome too, but coming from Ca is asking alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
