Hi im new to this whole 350z thing. Im getting a 350z anniversary edition and i want to know some of the mods you guys have. This can be very useful to me. And also if it's not too much trouble i would really like to know what u run on a 1/4 mile. Im getting the 350z in the middle of August so fast responses would'nt hurt . thanks

1/4 runs are going to vary a lot just by altitude, outside temp, humidity, and even fuel octane used.

Some people run stock Z's at 13.9's and if they were in a different environment could run the same car at 13.6-13.7

First off, you need to learn just because somebody has a certian mods list, even you if replicate it, even add to it in some cases you may not come close to running their times. With that being said:

13.77 @ 101.4 stock-was my 2nd pass ever in the car. First pass ever in my stock Z was a 2.1 60ft, 13.80 @ 100.8

Now with : jwt pop-charger, crawford plenum, ur crank pulley, test-pipes, injen exhaust, and technosquare ecu.

I picked up 23whp over stock, and with a HORRIBLE 2.2 60ft, I went 13.58 @ 106. My regular 2.0 60ft on street tires would be around a 13.2, but I only ran on street tires 1X this day. With the same set-up and a 1.96 60ft(1st time on slicks-and yes this 60ft sucks huge donkey d!ck) I went 13.13 @ 107, backed it up with a 13.16 @ 106.

shhh give him a break, that's just what 17 year olds do - tell everyone they're 17 before proceding to talk about something.



Pulls up to taco bell drive thru, "hi I'm 17. I want 3 tacos. thanks"

Sure first off you dont have to powershift to be a good driver. I do it cuz Im comfortable with it, and when I lift throttle in between shifts it slows me up.

Everybody has fast hands, Id say work on kicking down the clutch faster and faster, in other words leg speed. I only push the clutch in about 1/2 when I race, I start moving my right hand maybe a fraction of a second before I start kicking my left foot down on the clutch, then I hit the clutch as I glide into the next gear and get off the clutch quick. Works for me Best advice is practice practice practice. When learning to race I was always hard on myself, trying to make my shifts faster. I still do...you can always get better imo.
