madmatt48 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Do any of you by chance know the fastest 0-1/4 mile drag time achieved by a 280zx/ S130 powered by an L28 series engine that can still legally wear license plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigal Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 got rear-ended by a drunk driver at a stop light on wednesday night, the police report said he was going at least 40 mph at the time of impact, the car looks like a s30 now, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Do any of you by chance know the fastest 0-1/4 mile drag time achieved by a 280zx/ S130 powered by an L28 series engine that can still legally wear license plates? That's dependent on a thousand variables. What state? What county? Turbo? Nitrous? I don't know for sure, but I'd say a well modded, legal in many places (not just one) street interior S130 should be able to hit 11's easily enough. Maybe even high 10's with some sticky slicks. Now, if we're talking about 100% legal in California. I don't care how much fiberglass you've got, if you're on street tires there's no way you're running faster than a high 13, because nearly every engine mod is illegal now. Intercooler = illegal Non-stock turbo = illegal Fuel pressure regulator = illegal Modified boost pressure = illegal Non-factory fuel pump = illegal Non-factory injectors = illegal Non-factory compression = illegal CAT delete = illegal Non-factory air box without CARB sticker = illegal Non-factory camshaft = illegal Basically ANY modification without a little CARB sticker is illegal. We're lucky to have the few parts we do that ARE CARB certified. Unfortunately they won't help you go much faster. If you want to know what I think you could get AWAY with? Probably 12's easily enough. Larger injectors, OEM looking intercooler, and raise the boost a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmatt48 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yes, the state of California is real sad when it comes to mods. Following their rules would result in what you stated above maybe a few seconds better than stock. My question is open to any legal licensed S-130 280zx in any State in the U.S. Would like to see or hear about the best 0-1/4 mile times that have ever been achieved thus far using an L-series engine.

PurePontiacKid Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Well, until someone proves otherwise, my 16.9 is the fastest. lmfao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXR_KiD Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 14.2 N/a, with hot cam, headers and straight pipe. unknown what elese had been done to that engine (former SCCA racer's engine) also hot wired cold start injector to fire in batch just to get enough fuel to feed it with the camshaft, haggard but solved alot of issues at the time... I know some of you turbo junkies have been quite a bit quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some states, like Michigan, the only things that are explicitly illegal (for state highway use) are slicks and N2O. You can get some wild stuff on the street in that case (breaking several federal laws, but that's besides the point ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXR_KiD Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 sound like around here... so long as your lights work correctly and your not spraying down the road, you can get away with just about anything... when I took my Int'l scout to be registered I had NO glass in the vehicle WHATSOEVER, and bassically open manifold exhausts, and no seat belts... the only thing they asked was for me to hit the lights... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madkaw Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well here's my 81 zxt(actually it's my daughters-I bought it for her:wink:). I bought it for 1500$ and it has 91k miles on it. I have put more money and time then what I should have for a college car, but I wanted my daughter to have something cool to drive. I told her that if she ever earned a scholarship I would buy her a new car, but I think she rather I paint her Z and keep it going instead. I forgot to add that everything works on this car-down to the clock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZXR_KiD Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 seems like 90% of s-130s that've been sitting for years and the owner sells cheap it turns out to be the fuel pump was its demise... that's been the case in my expirences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
