Stock wheels and tires- PSI set to 25

Took the Z to SGMP (South Georgia Motorsports) today for the first time and tried my luck at the track.. First run I was nervous as hell ran a 13.5 @ 106. From there I toyed with my burn outs, launches, shifting, PSI in the tires etc. It was all a learning experience for me. I consistently would do better... low 13.5, 13.4, 13.3, but couldn't break 13.2. Finally I took it to the burnout pit, did what I could, lined it up, loaded it to 2k, dumped and spun like crazy and came out with a 13.28 after spinning my *** off.

All my runs had a 60ft of 2.00-2.10 I could NOT get the 60ft down....

So final best time was 13.28 @ 108 with a 2.09 60ft


Hey quick question - can anyone explain to me (i read this, but not the reason why or how to get around it), why the auto Z's do not allow you to spin the tires while you're holding the brake? I have some ridiculously stiff tires from whoever previously owned it and could not heat them up for the life of me...

Pull stomp lamp fuse and do burnouts at will. This is on all Z's regardless of trans.

NFGZ

Ahhh, I guess I read wrong, thanks for the input man!

NFGZ

Oh also, what exactly is that fuse for, and will it hinder anything else in the car? Is it safe to just remove for ever??

It disables ABS, the brake lights, etc. Just do it at the strip and you are fine. Your dash will light up like a christmas tree though.

NFGZ

LOL, got ya. Thanks again man!

burning out street tires is unnecessary, and actually hinders traction.

Awesome trap man!!! get that launch right and you got yourself a 12 sec. run.

NFGZ

Thanks for the advise, Ill definitely keep that in mind. Like I said, this is all a learning experience for me, today was my first time.
Thanks man, I tried a bunch of different things to find the best launch but really the street tires just hindered me from getting a better 60ft

SlowNFurious

Great time btw. Last time I was at the strip in Commerce, which was their last test and tune, I watched a 350z hit 15.7 and a 370z came after it and hit 15.3.

Stock wheels and rims? Which one is it?

That a decent time for the setup man, congrats.

Congratulation, great e/t & mph. If it's ok to suggest something, I think you'll have no problem doing twelves.

Get a set of M/T street radials 275/40/17's on 9"-10" wide wheels, # 672-3743R from Jegs. Also a set of 17" wheels. They drive well on the street & will give you 1.8-1.9 60' with proper heat up. Also work fine with stock front tires.

You can just make one long spin, then just pull up to the line or do as the mod suggested with the brake fuse & take the car into the water. With traction off of course, spin them till water avaporates & white smoke comes out both tires. This should give you a 1.7 60' and a 12.9 time for sure.

Water helps get both tires spinning.

My first 12 second run ever had those tires. I had stock wheels/tires in the front & drag radials in the rear.

Video is on "drag times.com" first page. Look for Andre Best of luck/nice to see a drag racer....

Nice time!! Another fast auto.

Pull the fuse 03threefifty said to do burnouts just not long on street tires. 2.0 60ft are good for street tires.

I consistently pull 1.9-2.0 on street tires.

Did you shift into 4th or hold 3rd through the traps?

NFGZ

Thanks! I definitely plan on getting some tires for the next outting, I'll give these a look.
my 3rd when shifting with the triptonic goes to about 118 so I went through in 3rd. I would really like to get gears down the road too, help wake it up a bit.

Gears would help alot since you are 3.3. I had 3.5 gears when I ran 13.147 with 256hp in my G35.

The best gears to get for a AT is 3.7. 4.08 may be too short since we are 5 speed.

NFGZ

I was told the auto was a 3.2, and 6spd was 3.5?? I would like to go to 3.73 as this is currently my daily driver. Hopefully I'll be able to change that in a month and get a beater so I can park this. If that was the case than gears wouldnt be an issue at all

andre12031948

I've been accused of being a wise guy, a bully. Well I'll now give you that chance.

You started with a good time slip & high mph. That was with what looked like very poor traction. So instead of improving your traction & seeing where you stand, your are now looking at gears. I won't waist my time telling you that you're taking the get nowhere route, that is so very common with the members of this forum.

herrschaft

Auto's are 3.3. Taller gearing will make traction worse, pick up some drag radials/slicks and go from there.

Go with the 3.5 for your AT so you dont have to shift into 4th @ the end of your run. You should be able to run 12's easily . The shift into the 1:1 really kills the 1/4 when you go with a shorter FD.



Nice runs BTW
