Z-Gad Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I've been pretty quiet lately, but have a little progress to share. I suck at posting pics, so here the shots from my album here.

CArFAn Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Some one once told me a car without a chute may run hard , but a car with one chute is twice as fast ,but a car with two chutes wont waste his time on you. I believe you deserve two chutes....Unless thats two in there already your ready to go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombarace14 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I like the business end way way better! Lookin good man, what are you hoping to run low to mid 8's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CArFAn Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Is there a Z in the 7's ? If so link me to a vid or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Looks good Mike! Will you make DNI with the car done? I thought the wife drove a white 350z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Whats the solid axle rearend doing??? Justin Hey Justin, The solid axle was going into the Z, but I decided to jump on the TTT rear end stuff. Now it is on Ebay... item #170195728116 .. along with some other stuff I am trying to convert to cash http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgadwaw (shameless plug, but thanks for setting me up ) Jeff - DNI is still a possibility...just a distant one... I am doing what I can though I had to look at the pics again... the car in the garage next to the 240z is our 07 solar-orange 350z roadster. Tombarace14 - my cage is only good to 8.50's and I am not interested in adding any more bars to it. Legally, I'll be limited to that.

JustinOlson Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 What size wheels and slicks are you going to be running with the 5 lug setup? Are you still planning any aero mods? You should be trapping in the mid 160's I would think with these new round of changes. Just curious what you are going to be doing.

Z-Gad Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Justin, I'll be running Weld Prostars and tire size is yet TBD, My choices are somewhat limited, as I'll be in the 26-27 inch tall diameter, but I'll be able to run a 15" rim, giving me a little more sidewall. As far as aero mods ... I have a couple of things I am considering front/rear spoilers and VG's, but it has been really stable to this point on the current setup. I'll have to wait to see how it is at 160+. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Mike that is looking fantastic dude!!! I really hope she makes it to DNI.. If the Z doesnt.. you better still bring yourself!! Gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Looking good Mike, Hope we get to see it at DNI, we are having to rush ourselfs to make it all happen as well. John and Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEvilrps13 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 will the srpings work on a 280? and whats the drop on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wait, So I guess I missed this from before. You ran 8.9's on ET Streets?? That is really impressive. Are you going to stick to DOT tires? Maybe a 275/50-15 radial. (I've read that the MT radial stick as well as the ET Streets) I've been eyeing the Hoosier 27X11.5X15 QTP DOT. https://www.hoosiertire.com/specdrag.htm#DOT%20Drag%20Radial Regards, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a set of 4 Prostars from a Mustang guy and the rears have M/T ET Street 28x12.5x15 (probably too big and I'll probably end up selling them, but I'll trial fit them since they are coming with the wheels. I've run the M/T drag radials, and the best I could do with them was a 1.48 60'. I went to the ET Street and was able to get into the mid to high 1.3xx 60'. I like the 27x11.5x15 QTP's, I am going to see how the 28's fit (as I suspect they won't, but it will give me some idea of how the 27's would fit. I already know the 26x11.5's fit. JNJ - I'll see you guys there regardless RedEvilrps13 - 1" drop on the springs Dr Hunt - hope to see you all soon as well BRAAP - As for perfoprmance gains, I really haven't a number in mind, but am just looking forward to comparing the performance to the 76mm that I took off.I figure I was making just under 800 rwhp with the 76mm at 30 lbs of boost with the 100 shot of nitrous. I will gradually work my way toward 40 lbs of boost and run a 150 shot of nitrous before all is said and done, as I locate the next weak link Thanks all for the kind words and hopefully I'll have some results to go with the photos soon.

With your power goals, nothing less than a 315 or 325 DR will work. I ran the 27x11.5x15 QTPs on the GNZ. 4800 on the T-brake with the GN engine netted me 1.36 and no trace of wheelspin. I just installed 26x11.5x15 QTPs on 15x9s. Hope to test this Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
