Ross doesn't make the adapter anymore, and I'm not sure where else to look.

Car is an S14, so I wouldn't need a trans mount or anything. Just the adapter and flywheel.

Anyone know of any other companies that make the adapter and flywheel that is needed? ]]> Drag Drag_S14 http://my350z.com/forum/drag/465077-vq35-to-powerglide-th400-adapter.html Took some in car movies http://my350z.com/forum/drag/464434-took-some-in-car-movies-new-post.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:36:06 GMT and was surprised that it even worked. I could not see what the camera would take, since the view finder was jammed against the headrest.
I had 19" street tires on with 1/2 tank of gas, so this was more of a R/T and shift point exercise.
It also shows how fast the Transgo VB shifts.
This one I was running heads up against an 11 sec Comp Rod bracket racer.

I will also attach the time slips for David......lol

]]> Drag fowlman01 http://my350z.com/forum/drag/464434-took-some-in-car-movies.html drive shaft loops http://my350z.com/forum/drag/464077-drive-shaft-loops-new-post.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:54:03 GMT Well since there are alot of fast Z/G's that drag alot, where are people getting their drive shaft loops.

Technically you need them for all RWD cars running 13.99 or quicker with slicks and 11.49 or quicker with street tires must have a retainer loop 360 degrees
of enclosure, 1/4-inch minimum thickness and 2 inches wide, or
7/8-inch x .065-inch welded steel tubing, securely mounted and
located within 6 inches of the front universal joint for support of the
driveshaft in event of U-joint failure.

After pushing my car into the garage with the driveshaft hanging, its easy to see how that could pogo stick your car if it wasnt looped.

So post up the pics, or info on what you are using :) ]]> Drag str8dum1 http://my350z.com/forum/drag/464077-drive-shaft-loops.html 2009 Import Vs Domestic MIR http://my350z.com/forum/drag/463941-2009-import-vs-domestic-mir-new-post.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:22:21 GMT This is one of the biggest events in the area and the main reason I mod my car during the season.

People came from all over the country and Canada just to race in it. For more info on the event go here http://www.importvsdomestic.com/. Last year I qualified 6th in my class and beat out an M3 by about .05 or so. I made it to the quick 8 last year and lost to my friends 12 second all motor maxima. This year the field was ALOT tougher. There were at least 6 12 second all motor cars in my class out of about 18 cars total. The event was 2 days. Saturday we got 2 qualifying runs and on sunday we got 1 qualifying run then the heads up eliminations began. I'll tell you now the pro-tree was owning me this year. I didnt have time to get my revs where I wanted them and no time to really get set. My previous best before this weekend was 13.47@102. So are my slips.

Day 1, run 1, Qualifying: I was against an all motor QR25 sentra that was gutted and on slicks. I've raced this guy in a recent import event and he ran 13.2 which was his PB so I knew I was going to lose.


Day 1, run 2, Qualifying: This run was against my friends all motor maxima. I let air out of my drag radials and bogged off the line.
http://www.youtube.com/burrtvdotcom1#p/u/1/45N0MWPRtg0 My race is at 1:50 (ignore my crazy friends lol)


Day 2, run 1, Qualifying: I was paired up with some type of honda not sure what it was really. This run really screwed me up because they had to back the guy up so I ended up revving the car with one bulb lit then when I went to move forward while revving the car I went to far and deep staged. Luckily I didnt red light.



Day 2, Run 2, Eliminations: So I ended up qualifying number 11 and had to race my friends 12 second NSX. I must say this was one of the best races I've had at the track even though I lost. He ended up staging slow so I got my revs all the way up to 3200 and put about a car on him at the launch. He ended up catching me at the 1/8th mile. This was my PB for the year.



Day 2, Run 3, ET Bracket race: After I got eliminated I entered the ET brackets in hopes to get a 13.3 run but it didnt happen. For some reason I spun a little off the line.



Overall it was a fun event. I learned that taking air out of your tires is not always the best thing to do. The run where I got a 2.0 60' my pressure was way to low. I added air and pulled my best 60' of the whole event. I really beleive I can get a 13.3 out of my car untuned I just got to get a 1.8 60'. Also I cant trap higher than 102 at this track for some reason. On friday at another local track I trapped 104 and 103. My mods are 1/2 inch spacer, strup test pipes, X02 exhaust, 3200 high stall convertor and drag radials. My car is a 2004 Touring Auto. When I get tuned 12's should come pretty easy. I'll try to get the vids of my runs and post them. ]]> Drag ajcool2 http://my350z.com/forum/drag/463941-2009-import-vs-domestic-mir.html why do my Z always lose grip? http://my350z.com/forum/drag/463120-why-do-my-z-always-lose-grip-new-post.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:30:47 GMT When I race from a dead stop with traction control on or off it always slips.

MPH: 79.66
1000: 11.510

MPH: 102.78

Still at Capitol.

I think it can do 13.5. I still gotta work on the launch, and my shift points. I had another run where my 1/8 mile trap speed was a little higher so that gives me a little hope. ]]> Drag NightShade http://my350z.com/forum/drag/462840-what-a-difference-a-week-makes.html 06 Drag Racers with Pop Chargers. http://my350z.com/forum/drag/462816-06-drag-racers-with-pop-chargers-new-post.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:06:42 GMT This thread can be deleted.

He's madd cocky(as most American owners are)

1st run: 13.72@102 to his 13.88@103 Got about a length at the 1/4
2nd run: 13.66@101 to his 14.55@99 Walked hard, he missed 3rd
3rd run: 13.98@101 to his 14.02@102 Pretty even though my launch was off

Either way he learned his lesson ]]> Drag 03ZShredder http://my350z.com/forum/drag/462696-2003-350z-vs-2004-mustang-gt.html New PB http://my350z.com/forum/drag/462601-new-pb-new-post.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:56:58 GMT Well, it's my PB because it was my first time in the Z. Traffic was a nightmare, so I arrived in time to get two practice runs in before having to dial in. Sadly for me, the guy who staged next to me is one of two that typically wins the bracket racing in the class. I ran with him in practice sessions and he ran 18.50x. You can see from the slip that he ran 18.56 against me when it counted, and he even bested my R/T, so I was one-and-done. The DA decreases dramatically as the night progresses, which I wasn't able to take advantage of. The DA for this run was 784'.

Critique away.

if you go to 1:55 here you will see what i mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3comQxPNWI&NR=1

it looks a lot cooler than simply revving in neutral or with clutch in hahaha :) ]]> Drag kcpromo http://my350z.com/forum/drag/462258-how-to-rev-engine-so-car-jerks-back-and-forth.html My G and the 1/8 Mile http://my350z.com/forum/drag/461805-my-g-and-the-1-8-mile-new-post.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:45:50 GMT Went drag racing tonight at Qualcomm.

I couldn't beat my best time so I have to settle for this.

Mods: X02 & Motordyne 5/16 spacer

Tires: Goodyear Eagle RS-A All Seasons 245/40/19 rear at 30psi.

(spacer didn't help me at all since I have a REVUP which doesn't help without the MREV2 according to Hydrazine's posts.)

Reaction: .580
60 ft: 2.251 (not bad imo considering my tires)
MPH: 77.85
ET: 9.285


Makes me wonder if the spacer slowed me down. I pulled better 60ft's and it was cooler and I still couldn't beat my best time.

I know there are factors, but I lost 1 MPH and .1 with the spacer. :dunno:

Too bad I didn't get weather conditions. the last time I ran, it was a few degrees warmer.

Did a total of 27 runs. :dunno:

For you guys who don't know, this is what the track looks like.

Ran 15.5 PSI all night which is about 575hp

This is only my third time playing with it..Im not too serious with drag racing.

What is the cars potential in the 1/8 / 1/4 with good driver and tires?

I couldn't catch traction in second gear AT ALL. I would literally go into second gear and the revs would shoot up to 7k and the car would start shuttering. After awhile I just went into second and almost immediately went into third to catch traction.

Anyway, here is my best slip:
