Default New personal best

60' - 2.045
1/8 - 8.685
MPH - 81.98
1/4 - 13.383
MPH - 102.55



That was my quickest ET. My fastest was 105.36.

The track prep was very poor. Almost every run I was breaking loose with the 1st - 2nd shift and a couple of times from 2nd - 3rd. It was a blast though. Hooking was next to impossible. I guess it's the time of year up here where they really don't care. But I did beat a C5 vette off the tree who was trapping over 111 MPH. That was cool. Ended the day a little earlier then I wanted to because my clutch is made of poo and gave out. The stock clutch BLOWS!

That's great regardless, but I see it's even a GT - the alleged heaviest model.

Awesome.

Anything other than a JIC Ti? Any weight reductions?

The grand touring is the heaviest of the coupes weighing in ~3,400 lbs. The only model available up here sold new out of Canada.

The exhaust is the only part I have changed on the car but I'm doubtful that this exhaust provides any power gains. It is very light though.

Here is what I have done for weight savings:
- Spare tire - removed
- Tools and jack - removed
- Rear carpet and spare tire cover - removed
- Passenger seat - removed
- Stock exhaust replaced with JIC single titanium

I estimate that I've shaved almost 100lbs of weight off the car.

Good job! Yeah, Nissan made it difficult with that clutch slave cylinder design.
