What's up with all of this trash talk cuz . I had to log in and see if I needed to defend myself but I see the fellas at Z1 already did that for me. The game changer comes in February and you'll find that out on March 24th in Carrabelle FLA!! We'll get a chance to see what our cars will do in the 1/2 mile. It should be real close to flying without wings !
You're going to make me post the vids of the other two times we ran.
Lol well if Shepp is interested in my brand new built low compression motor and Haltech I might just sell it to him extra cheap to make sure that Nismo stays ahead
That is a VERY respectable time for street tires. It gets to a point with power and street tires that more isnt better, you are about there.
Thats easily low 11's with driver mod on a tire. Congrats.
Yeah I was only pushing 8psi on my Greddy 20G kit and put some old ET Streets on, launched at 4,500rpm and pulled a high 1.6sec 60'. It scared the crap out of me because I've only launched at like 3,000rpm on street tires and was lucky to pull a 2.0sec 60' haha. I got back up to the line to try again and did 1.7sec 60' and 11.58sec @ 119mph. You're pushing that stock block more than I was so you could beat my time easy with some bias plies on that thing

I hear you. I did it just for fun. I have been drag racing for a long time but just got the impression from all the posts that this chassis was super difficult. I raced the S13 (240sx) chassis for 6 years but i dont think this chassis is any different. Just takes traction and some seat time like any other car.

Dont want fools seeing my $hit running high 11's or 12's at the track lol.
pretty good time for your first time down the track with such a setup. nice work.
now go buy some better tires.
Thanks! first time down the track with the Z33 chassis but not first time down the track
I have the Akebono brakes in the rear so I think I'm screwed since I can't run a 17" wheel in the back with ET Streets. I don't want to but I may have to switch back to stock rear brakes. I'm looking at MT ET Street Radials II in a 265-40-18. Any other suggestions?
Yep big brakes are a no-no at the 1/4 track LOL. If you are serious about drag racing then swap out for stock brakes and run 15 or 16" rims with proper tire (bias ply). With >18"+ rims you're probably stuck with stiff sidewalled radials and your axles are going to hate you :P.
