J Taylor Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Fixed the z finally a couple of weeks ago after 6 months of messing with it. Decided to put on the drag radials tonight and take it to the 1/8 mile track. 1st pass....bogged the car, went to 2nd and the CHTS harness popped off and made the car bust up real bad so I had to let out. 2nd pass, I go to launch and snap the front U-joint. The driveshaft is pretty new too....may have 2-3k miles on it. What a bummer. This car just doesn't seem to like the dragstrip. Last time I went I blew the motor at half track. I used to run the crap out of my 84 300zx turbo for 2 yrs and NEVER had the problems I have with this car. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 U joints suck. That is one thing I like about the ZXT. Alot harder to break stuff when launching. CV axles, diff is way more secure, big driveshaft. You know the old saying. IF you aren't breaking stuff, you are not going fast enough. It will get better, and after all this time, imagine what it will feel like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Yeah, Im thinking about going to CV's as well. I keep hearing the old half shafts can be scary when they go at high speeds. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
