ULISES Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have had minor issues with My Z, The clutch was not working properly due to a pin lock from the clutch pedal to the slave....After I fixed that I got a flat slick, I am now in Mexico so I have to wait for my parts a little longer than I used to...My tach never worked, I have solved all those 3 minor problems so I wanted to go out for a spin...I had a G-tech pro just for fun...I spun most first and part of second gear..so it reat a 4.08 0 to 60 and a 12.36 1/4 @ 119...I also suck at 1/4 racing you can hear how slow I shift....My brother got 3.5 60 and 11?? letting off to get tracktion....I now have like 13k miles on the swap and still cant wipe the smile off mi face...

Hybrid240z Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Did you move out to Jalisco or are you just visiting? My parents are from Zacatecas. What do the locals think about your high horsepower Z. Awesome car by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULISES Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I moved to Jalisco about 6 month ago, The Z turns heads everywhere it goes..Most poeple like the car,It's a very rare car here in Mexico so most ppl ask what is it.Datsun is a well known by their pick ups...

m1noel Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Great to hear you are still out there and the car is doing well. Did you put in the Textralia clutch? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6t8vw Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 good to hear from you man, coming to MSA this year? I'm just going to be a spectator. I'm still installing the t-56 and prepping the motor for boost. hopefully i'll be done in 6 weeks....its a money thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 1/4 pass video: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/a...b600dd1102.htm This is a great video. You can hear the car, see the xmas tree and the timing lights. It's better than I usually do. BTW, I think your signature needs to be updated. The 409.56 hp. 391.11 torque is a little modest. To run 131.98mph in the 1/4 mile with your car equates to roughly 500rwhp. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULISES Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks guy's, I have the textralia clutch and its doing great. I will not be at MSA this year, My brother might be there. I have dynoed the Z and the most H.P. shown on a dyno was 415 rwhp..and under 400 torque...we could'nt believe the times matched the H.P. either plus it has a T56... I wonder how it would do with an automatic. I never turned the music down so you can tell how loud the car gets....I will get video from outside soon!!!

PETEW Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Wow, that is nice. I really like the sound of that motor singing. I doubt I would ever want to listen to the stereo. The engine is all the music you need. Man that last quarter mile pass was awesome. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
