took a ride in this beast the other day... had to change my pants after. getting in with lambo doors and a cage was tough fyi.

 

Just a side note on swaps (if any) that use the factory 350z alternator, you must plug in the voltage regulator on your alternator or it will only put out 10-11 volts. I just jumped mine from the main positive post on the alternator to pin #4 on the side of the alternator.

 

Weighed the car tonight! Weighes in at a whopping 2,871lbs without me in it! This is with 10 quarts of trans fluid, 6 quarts of oil and 12 gallons of fuel in the car. The thing should absolutely fly if I can get traction.

Still open for more sponsors!

 

2,871lbs?

wow.

 

And with 450ish hp on tap with no lag! Yes drag slicks will be your friend!

 

Yup! I could easily get the car under 2,800lbs if I bought some light weight brakes and wheels. Maybe this winter I will even switch all the fuel line over to the nylon braided hose and remove the stock Z ABS module to get some more weight out.

 

Damn 2,871lbs!?!?!?!?! Nice bro,, did you happen to weigh the car before?

 

^yup 4,326 stock lmao

 

No I don't get a chance. I know that the curb weight of the Z is 3,188lbs stock though.

 

Wow nice power to weight. Dunno if I missed, when are you dynoing it?

 

I think that's only the base model and only the earlier models.

 

on a side note, what exactly is your proposal for sponsors? Are you going to race a full season? car shows?

 

Season racing and some car shows here and there. Not really a big show guy but a lot of people seem to like the car.

 

Scheduled for 4pm today central standard time.

 

come pick me up after lol

 

It didn't go well so far. I am either having problems with the tuning because of the slow flame front with E85 or I am having some weird timing issues. Going to spend some time doing some more research and then head back to the dyno. I may end up switching to 105 ocatane gasoline that a local gas station sells.

 

Sorry to hear that, please keep us posted. Maybe try and check in with Vas, he is running an E85 tune.

 

vas's car is actually running? last i heard he was still doing wiring stuff about 2 weeks ago.

 

I really like this look and think I might do the same.. Did you just use one of the gauge mounting bracket pedestal to mount up?

 

Come on T... You know me...

It is a custom mount that I cut myself out of billet aluminum. It is very light weight and installed perfectly!
