Cooked 300ZX question, Maybe you guys can help?

[giz01]

TTz 's runs a (rebuilt by him) std auto with the convertor loosened

up by the convertor shop in brisbane from memory!

[adam 32]

well i guess i have to believe you if hes got time slips... i should get my 3 300zx mates into contact with him though cos there doing something seriously wrong if this guy can bust a 12.5 with a fairly std zed

[adam 32]

but hold on theres other guys here in perth with skylines making over 300rwhp and they cant break 13.5...... how the hell did a 315rwhp 1500kg rwd car run a 12.5????

[giz01]

wat 60ft times are they running? as an example look at boostmeiter's skyline think it makes 190kw@tyres yet runs similar times to my gf's 126kw@tyres 200sx auto with less mods!

:lol:

[giz01]

i just remembered he also uses the atmo diff in it think 4.11 up from 3.7 or 3.9?

[adam 32]

RE:cam's car

yeh how does that work??? im aiming for a similar sort of power figure as him (200rwkw) but am slightly disheartened by the fact i wont run less than a 13.5

[giz01]

dude u will run faster than 13.5 but u have to be able to get it off the line! my 13.7 in the s14 was with a 2.16 60 ft time!

[skyzerr33]

suspension, tyres and track will also play apart guys.

as an example adamQ needs suspension work badly as his 300+rwhp just can't get to the track.

Actually it weighs 1650kgs as raced, and I can assure you the times are genuine. I ran two 12.5's and two passes in excess of 116mph! My brothers Zed ran 13.8 at 106mph with second gear clutches in his auto TOTALLY fried!

I've heard about Geoff Risby's Zed, he imported it with those mods didn't he?

Skyline owners are always sceptical about Zed's cause they've been indoctrinated with the gospel according to HPI/Zoom, who go out of their way to bag Zed's:(

[adam 32]

geoff has rebuilt the engine again since it arrived....

but still managed a 12.7-8..... how did u get so low with such minimal mods?

slicks?

[giz01]

TTZ was running falken grb street tyres for those times

[Guest TTZ32]

No slicks.....245/45/16 Falken FK451's, which are great on the street, but crap on a drag strip. I didn't get any better than 2.09 60' which is terrible for an auto, with slicks it will do 1.8's easy and will run 12.2 - 12.3:)

Remember, this is a full weight, stock turbo, stock ECU, stock intercoolers, stock auto, street tyred Zed:)

[adam 32]

yeh i understand, thats why i cant believe it!

when geoffs car has an engine putting out 50% more power and only managed 0.3 slower...?

[Guest TTZ32]

Do you know what MPH he ran?.....mph is directly related to HP, with that sort of power he should be running around 125mph or more.

How about the guys who are saying they got these times post Timeslips ? Then we'll see...

I'm with you adam32!

We want PROOF!:uh-huh:

[skyzerr33]

funny enough... i didnt keep any timeslips from it hey.... i never even knew they were "free" to go and collect...

and it wasnt 18sec!

what's wrong with a 17??

[Guest Rhino]

Geoff told me that traction wasnot an issue where as holding boost off the line was. His terminal has ~181kph.

P.S. I could get my GTR to do less than the mid 12 you speak of for less than $2000, however power will probably be down on what a 12.5 sec Z has.

13.038 @ 168.48kph.

All I have is a full exhaust, Teins (which are probably of questionable benefit on the strip) and an ECU without a speed cut and tuned for 100ron fuel. Ohh and I also run 245' Falken FK451's.

[giz01]

if you don't believe that the TTZ ran 12.5 than once again check out the www.drivelinechatter.com website and talk to people there as like i said before most of them were there and saw it run those times! as for the GTR running 12's that may be so but all the stock gtr's or slightly modded gtr's i have seen race run slower than what u have!

I have no doubt whatsoever that you could, I personally havn't seen any relatively stock GTR's run those times, but then again, I havn't seen any Zed's run 12's either.

If we're gonna have a pissing contest, My Zed ran a 12.86 in Aug 2001 with NOTHING more than a cat-back exhaust, HKS filter and 14psi boost:)

As for timeslips, if you don't believe me...........who cares?
