Right lane looks like 12.90 @ 105.7 MPH.

 

 

 

Ok....still can't see anything beyond 12.9x.

Mods on car?

 

Thank you for helping me out......

 

That should be thank you David V for helping me out

 

i've seen all kinds of Z's at the track i know what they're capable of and what times they put down stock

in the end you are just a drop in the ocean

 

Not exactly sure what that statement is about, but I did notice that it looks like he's got slicks or drag radials on the back and pulled what looks like a 1.8 60'???

Maybe he's just crazy and decided to put slicks on a "mostly stock" car?

Does this mean that if I put slicks on mine I'll drop into the 12's?

 

Andre, list of all mods please?

 

This will be long I started with a 1981 280zx, so I know Nissans. When I read about 370z having oil overheating & engine vibration at higher rpm(new tech in valve system) problems, AND the mags. showing the same 1/4 times for both 08 350 & 09 370 around 13.8 1/4 mile, I decided on buying the 08 Z. Saved 10k & I knew I had a reliable, proven, best of the 350's (07/08).
It was mid 2010 winter & I wanted to see what it could do. Found a good track in West Palm Florida. I knew any rpm 3,000 + lights up the tires to an undrivable point.
I chose M/T street/drag radials 275-40-17 on heavy 5ziger wheels. My first day at W. Palm Dragway(ex. track) the first 3 runs, my clutch pedal stuck on the floor & I could not shift to second(slave cyl. recall). The smell of burning clutch & my dissapointment was, lets just say "burning the car". 4th run & on it worked! I was running 13.2 to 13.5 with best 13.195(posted on 370 site), except when I lit the tires up. Since talking with M/T corp. 3 times, they told me these tires are for auto trans. "word" To get 1.80's I need to keep rpm below 4k rpm.
In the spring I went to Raceway Park N.J. Pure stock except for M/T's. Times were 13.3 then my last run 13.4 & felt something wrong, Burned out cluth!!! I almost didn't make it home.
To the end of story M/T tires(but can't leave hard), new street cluth w alum. fly wheel, no improvment in times, none. Just 2 weeks ago I had Burk test pipes & matching engine mix to the pipes, days later & I'm in the 12's. STOCK intake, headers, & mufflers. When they make tires that will hold 5k+ launches, I should do 12.8 or better. sorry for the lenght
Andre

 

Best advice-MUST learn power shifting! MUST get smaller not bigger tires/wheels for better gear ratio.

 

Exactly, I'm 100% certain I wouldn't be pulling 12's with the same mods in my car. Congrats Andre, it looks like you've done very well with your HR 350z, keep up the good work!

 

Congrats Andre. Another HR owner with the driver mod.
