Well boys & girls.... I've been building my 280ZXT for many years now... it's seemed to be endless & have no real point. Well, that may change now, as tonight I'm taking her to the track to see what she'll do. She's not registered, so I need to gingerly drive down there. But I'm hoping to break into the 13 sec & 100+mph mark. Wahoo!!!

 

ha! you'll break into the 12's, Pick. Have fun

 

12's baby! 3 Fast 3 Furious!

 

get some NAAAAWSSSSSSS stickers and youll hit the 10s . have fun man.

 

dude, my buddy has a car done like yours, hes doing low 11's. your faster than you think

 

Good luck, I really cant wait to see results, especially with the Z31T setup in your car.

 

Don't forget the wheelie bars!!!!!!!!!!

 

and the parachute!

 

What is your estimated HP right now? Or have you got it dyno'd?

 

Last year when it was runnin crappy, it dyno'd at about 225whp. I'm thinking it's now around 250whp.

 

11s in a 250rwhp Z??? sounds kinda low to me. I might have some numbers confused but this amazingly fast 3rd gen RX7 I rode in putting down about 420rwhp is in the 11s too... Maybe its because of traction loss... he's only got 285s on the rear wheels

 

I'm at 4300 ft elevation too... cars are slower up here.

 

good luck.. you got your self a 10 second car

 

Damnit Nismo!!!

You should have called, and toted my *** to the track with you!

 

Doh! Sorry homie!

 

So here are my 4 times from last night... I didn't make it into the 13's... Fastest time was 14.461 @ 98.07mph on 12 psi boost. I missed 2nd gear on the first run... doh!

Anyway, I guess it's purdy good for barely finishing the Z31T ecu swap & not tuning it.

I'M THE LEFT LANE ON ALL FOUR TIMES

 

At least you're consistent in the launch.

Tire slippage, any? a 2.4 60' suggests that, to me.

Not bad at all, though. Clean runs, for the most part.

 

Yeah... I deffinately need wider tires to launch better. Next time I gotcha covered to come to RMR!!

 

Welp... better late than never I guess. Put together a clip of my Z at the track. There was more footage, but nothing else worth adding in. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...99&q=nismopick

 

Was that an SRT? You got beat? Tsk tsk tsk . . .nismo . . .j/p . Need some in car cam action though

 

its cuz his car is painted...
I dont' think paint is overrated

 

paint is aerodynamic....it has to be...soo smooth...ever get it tuned at all? or is it still the same as that day.....oh so long ago
