Well I decided that I had nothing better to do tonight so I took the V35 to the drags

best pass was a 14.546 @ 97.4 MPH with a .789 reaction and a 2.32 60ft time

outside temp according to the car was 31deg

I discovered that traction control sucks and = a 15 sec time

I also discovered that sequential shift works best for quick runs and that even though my red line is 6500 its happy to go to 7000 and still not hit the limiter ... :S didn’t rev it out that far again since I dont want to do any damage

I thought my car being an auto had an open diff, turns out its happy to spin both wheels

Car still managed to spin some of 1st gear with 275 35 r 19s on the back

All in all im pretty happy with a 14.5 considering the car is a comfy leather arm chair compared to my old 180sx

Car was loaded with a 3/4 full petrol tank, spare wheel, jack and all the other stuff normaly in the car

From what I can tell car is stock apart from the Nismo cat back

i think if you can have the stock Tyres with good Tyres on it you should be able to go quicker. I remember my friend about 4 years ago with a stock 350z Touring auto manage to break the 14 sec mark in Calder Dragway.

Hmm well ill keep my eyes out for a good priced pair of 17" rims to throw on the back for next time

I wouldn't have to worry about the fronts however to get any benifit just the rears right?

as for references that i took from 350z-tech:

my friend:

Lionking (auto, stock):

Four fastest runs:

- 13.816 @ 162.2kph (60' = 2.095)

- 13.850 @ 163.8kph (60' = 2.120)

- 13.867 @ 163.9kph (60' = 2.114)

- 13.914 @ 159.3kph (60' = 2.059) - fully automatic mode

Notes:

- I was getting some awesome launches. Out of 9 or 10 runs - did so many I lost track - and a couple of slips, 60-70% were near perfect launches. The auto was making this very easy compared to the manual guys. They were struggling to get traction. I just powered up with the brakes on and dumped the brake on the yellow. The traction on the start was just right for my car.

- What rpm where you launching at? Not sure exactly but it is around 2,200 - 2,500 I think.

- I was tryin to hold the gears to 7000. These were my fastest runs. It's quite tricky on the auto though because if you nip the limiter the car will "hang" there for a second or two before shifting.

- I was running 25psi cold in the tyres.

other autos:

Perth 350Z (Auto, stock):

- 14.368sec @ 156.57kph (60' = 2.287)

- 14.463sec @ 157.24kph (60' = 2.333)

Notes:

- I left it on full auto for all my runs.

THIS IS A FANTASIC THREAD YOU GUYS!....VERY PRACTICAL AND INFORMATIVE!...

THANKYOU FOR SHARING THIS!...I've often wondered what these things can do stock!.

Cheers!

Take note that regardless 350Z sharing the same engine & gearbox with V35 Skyline, the 350Z are always quicker from the factory, as they're a tad lighter.

gotchya!!....all things considered!

So....Are there any mech/tronic differences at all b/w the 2?

So how much lighter is an auto 350z? I thought auto V35s would be around 1600kgs particularly premium models with all the extra bells and wistles

I haven't seen any spec that detailed difference in weight between manual V35 and auto V35. However, based on experiences from other cars, the auto V35 should be heavier (not lighter) and should be slower than a manual one. I believe it's either 1590kg or 1690kg.

For the average driver, auto could be faster down the quarter mile as it's only a few milliseconds of each gear shift, compared to the usual foot clutch in, hand change gear, foot clutch out action that will take longer to do. unless of course you're a seasoned drag pro with superman like reflexes, or you have a sequential dog gearbox.

gearbox are the same between V35 and 350Z I believe, that goes for both auto / tiptronic and manual (with the exception of the 350GT-8 sedan's CVT 8 speed auto that are not found in any aust-delivered Nissan - different to Murano's CVT). So more reasons not to fear buying/importing a V35 in my opinion, as suspension, engine, brakes, springs, air filter, air box, oil filter, gearbox, are interchangeable. Not to mention some electricals are quite identical, power window motors, exhaust (with extended 10cm pipe), are surprisingly can be swap between the 2 cars. They're basically built on the same chassis layout, it's just the 350Z has a bit shorter wheelbase.

L8RSXY saw your car in hot4s. looked fkn nuts. looked like u had spent some serious coin on it too $$$$$$. i was interested to see how quick it would go down the quarter you squeezed 207 kw in n/a form very impressive. i wonder would you have spent less on the engine if you had gone straight for a s/c or turbo instead of n/a mods and probably a quicker 1/4 time too? is forced induction next on the menu?

'Hey Wanabe' I thought all V35 coupe auto's ran non LSD's, :) how did you get both hoop's to spin on a straight launch! I've done a bit of reseach on this and only the manuals are fitted with LSD's, maybe yours is fitted with a aftermarket Diff, sounds like it! Has anyone on our forum got any info on this subject, or maybe I've been given bum steer. Thanks GT350. :)

maybe because those petrol nutheads are too fanatical to admit anything other than mechanical lsd as lsd.

viscous lsd is the one usually standard.

even with open diff if both side traction are identical, both wheels will spin. only exception is if one wheel on ice or wet road and other side on dry tarmac.

Nice times mate.

ive managed a 14.3 with the open diff and 6mt, going back tomorrow night, with a cusco diff, kinetix plenum and a few other new goodies with a fresh tune, should be interesting.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
