Hey guys, just want to see if any NSW guys with NA's would be interested in a run down at the drags. Tried to get some 300ZX's to go on the zed forums but most of them are too scared to get their skirts dirty so i'll try here. Turbo guys welcome too, just NA's i think would be closer competition to my car :P I have a few friends who want to go aswell so i want to gauge interest to see when i can set a date for it. Let me know if you're interested guys, i'm shooting for low 14's this time :D

Hay man I'll be sure to come , eastern creek?? I have a gtt

Yeah mate eastern creek, i'll let you know when. Just looking for some semi slicks first :)

Maybe i should go, i hav'nt been with my new engine but i dont have a new helmet either.

Fairly sure i can organise a helmet for you, if you decided to come.

sweet, i need to get a helmet aswell, but yeah im definently down i have only done track days with my skyline, havent done drags since my old days on my p's with my NA r34.

Haha ill come break out the 33 na lol anyone got any ideas on a rough time mine will run :-P

Whats done to it? Guys if you need helmets they have a few to lend if you get in early.

Only a cat back exhaust lol so i expect it to run something slow... What would you think it would run ive seen some n/a's run good times standard

I've seen a catback & pod NA R33 do 15.4 @ 92-ish mph which is fairly good considering its only a 2.5L motor. It all comes down to the launch, as it will make or break your run. I'm hoping i can find semi slicks before i go again, spun most of first gear :(

yer whats done to yours your quarter times seem really fast for a n/a

On the 300ZX i have twin 2.5" Catback exhaust, K&N Pod Filter, Underdrive crank pulley & a brass button clutch. No idea if anything is done internal wise, but it does pull fairly well compared to other NA zeds i've driven, including my cousins old 140rwkw one. We'll see what it does when i get the other lightweight pulleys, lightweight tailshaft, Semi slicks & Nistune done, should be 14.1 or 14.2-ish after that.

I never realised the 300zx were that quick n/a... Nice work tho certainly is making out into a quick p platers rig.. Ill definatly be i on a wednesday night for a run or even a national park run anytime

try make a allocated date so you can work out how many people can get there. I have a helemt thats just to old and there is nothing wrong with it. ill have to try hire one.

Na 300zx's dominate NA r33's

Hows the 2nd of next month for everyone? i may have two V6 commodores coming along with an MX6 so it'll be a fun little day. I don't think i'll be able to get any other mods done by then so i'll run in current trim again, will try adjusting my launch technique and lower my 60ft times. Enjoy the vid.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
