Bigdeezs Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Well I took it to the track for the first time...One hell of alot of fun. I was on the dry rotted and cracking 195/70/14 tires I bought the car with, but it still did a 2.0 60ft. I have about 150 miles on the swap now. I made about 7 passes with my best ET being 12.3 and best MPH being 121 all motor. Best part is I didnt break anything or have any problems!!! (probably thanks to the crappy tires) Me vs my Buddy's Vette (my cutouts open...noisy:mrgreen:) 12.3@120 Me vs Terminator cobra (closed cutouts) 12.7@116 http://www.motorgen.com/vid/showphoto.php/photo/398/cat/514 My specs are in the video in my sig.

wrxand280z Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Maybe its the camera angle but it looks like the mustang beat you off the line but you had the power to catch up. If so then I'm sure you'll be in the 11's in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSflyer Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Ummmmmmmm...... Are you crazy? 121 on dry rotted tires? You do realize that the bodies on these cars are just about beer can material. Your life is worth a set of tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then I'm sure you'll be in the 11's in no time. Yeah the mustang was on MTs but my Datsun is much faster. I hope to see 11s on street tire...maybe 10s on a 100 shot with some sticky rubber. Ummmmmmmm...... Are you crazy? 121 on dry rotted tires? You do realize that the bodies on these cars are just about beer can material. Your life is worth a set of tires. haha yeah:shock:, that thought went through my head. I inspected the tires before each run to make sure they werent seperating and I also figured it wasn't sustained high speed driving. Lastly, I just couldnt resist:twak:.

Silver Mine Motors Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Derek it's Edan. nice to see you are enjoying the z. are you bringing your it to the meet next friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdeezs Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hey Edan...not this week but probably the following. I'm still dealing with some registration stuff on the car which should be solved by the weekend after this. I brought it out once last month to try some slicks but I don't like driving it around unregistered:sad:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown77Z Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Nice runs. Could you tell me what your ETA and MPH was on the 1/8th mile part of your ticket. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayolives Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Get safe and go fast...................In that order. Good vid!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HICKL Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Just curious, you titled this thread as 420 rwhp, have you dyno'd it or is that an estimate. I'm not trying to bust your chops, your 1/4mile speed is right were mine is so we should be in the same range of rwhp but I have not dyno'd this setup. thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Put some tires on you Z and you will be in the 10's. I know that Sergio's ls2 280z was making 409RWHP and ran 10.8@132. You might be able to run 134mph with your setup. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdeezs Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Get safe and go fast...................In that order. Good vid!!!!!!!! This car is more of a go fast ---> get safe type of deal...LOL Just curious, you titled this thread as 420 rwhp, have you dyno'd it or is that an estimate. I'm not trying to bust your chops, your 1/4mile speed is right were mine is so we should be in the same range of rwhp but I have not dyno'd this setup. thanks Jeff My full exhaust system is kinda janky and through the muffler it made 370rwhp but with the electric cutouts open it made 426rwhp and 407 rwtq. All this was on a DYNAPACK Dynamometer the one where you unbolt the wheels. It was tuned very quickly (it was like 3am) and isn't running too much timing and AFR was around 12.5...I think theres a bit more in it. Put some tires on you Z and you will be in the 10's. I know that Sergio's ls2 280z was making 409RWHP and ran 10.8@132. You might be able to run 134mph with your setup. Mike Sounds kinda high MPH for Cali speedway. Maybe at a track with a better DA. I suppose it's possible. I was either having to shift very lightly or shift at 5k into 2nd and 3rd to keep from spinning (non-posi). So you believe me now?Last time I dynoed the Z was making around 415 whp and 39? torque. You ran those times all motor right? Have you ever run on the nitrous?(seems like you had the bottle in Mexico) I've seen your vids in Sac...whats not to believe? 1.6 60ft is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome.

ColtGT4g63 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 That car sounds GOOD with the cut out open. Period... Nice times! What size manifold is your fast? Stock throttle body? Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! 78mm Fast, stock home ported TB Thanks, I've seen some of your vids...♥♥♥♥ is comedy when the announcer is like "whats wrong with the the straight six?" and then you proceed to murder that other Z right after. It was like an answer to his question...LMAO Did you replace that broken axle? Or go to the Q45 diff now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other Z is also a member of this Forum, Synthtk. what made you go with the 78mm over the 90mm? I'm torn between going with a good set of heads / cam, and fast 90 /90 set up, OR going with a turbo kit, Hard decision. I've replaced that axle for the time being. I've got a Q45 diff ready to go on, already got my axles made and companion flanges waiting to go on. AZZCar is out of stock of the Mustache bars though. Thats my only set back for now. I've also got a new dyno video up now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personaly like heads cam due to weight savings...but to each his own. I have the diff and flanges as well but have yet to order up any other parts yet. I want to figure out what I'm going to do about going to 5 lug and new brakes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
