Its at the top under "CP Collaboration". My race is towards the end.

The beginning part is just random footage, but the grand finale is at the end.

Enjoy!

 

PS: No more racing for a while...we started tearing her apart last night at the shop. I'll be posting a play-by-play shortly.

 

Post some pics of your rebuild when you can. I just bought some RC 550s from Eric this morning and he said he was a little worried in that final drive you guys took, lol. Good to hear you have started you rebuild.

 

from watching the evo race you had before I believe your going to need drag radials or figure out a new way to launch that car. with the internals done all your gonna do is spin through 1-3.

 

Nice vid! Your car is going to be sick when your done!

 

Hey man good luck with the build up... The S4 Z28 vid is freaking great. I want my turbos.... BLAHHHH!

 

nice

 

You are absolutely correct. I have 18's in mind, and BFG's drage radials. The ATS twindisc carbon will help imensly as well. I pulled the clutch off my car.....OMG....it was so toasted. The clutch was completely worn flat....and the plates had some severe hot spots on them. No wonder I cant launch that thing!

PS: Even with 400whp'ish, I am spinning completely in 1st and 2nd...and parts of 3rd.....the car is going to be nutty when its done.

 

Nice race, especially considering the 1/2 to 1 car advantage they had on you. Saw you out at the strip last time (Long time ago at the Rock). It's to bad we never met up. You will have to fill us in the next time you head to the strip. All of our cars are down atm but I'd love to go out and watch if I haven't gotten my car back together by then. If anything I can at least let the club guys know and see if some of them want to hit the 1/4. 18's and street tires are definintley killing you, will be interesting to see what some good tires will do (16 or 17 inchers with slicks mounted wouldn't hurt). On street tires though you're 12.8 is very impresive especially considering the 2.4 60'. Allot to be had there by gaining some traction.

 

With our independent rear suspension, 500 rwhp on drag slicks seem to start breaking half axles and diffs. Drag radials seem to be ok.

 

Would a LSD help or hurt in this situation?

 

A lower final drive ratio would be better as well.

Also I read an article ages ago about gear dependant boost control, so while the car is in first gear you only let it run half the boost which in turn reduced wheelspin making the car quicker.

They actually showed you how to do it and tested the results, on the street they knocked something like a second off their 0-60mph.

I think this might be suitable for us as well.

 

I would say upgrading to a better LSD would help.

 

If slicks are out of the question then definintley some MT ET streets or something. A 600rwhp Z32 I know of runs them at the strip, still looses allot of traction but if you can manage to pull off a clean launch everything comes together well. If you ever decide to come join us (czc) gq you will want to get with him about his tires, he seems to like them (Its his daily driver too, lol).

 

An LSD would definately help with the traction issues. The closer you get to pure 50/50 power transfer off the line..the better.

i am waiting for Quaiffe to begin selling their gear based LSD. It's the ultimate diff, IMHO.

 

A boost controller that can adjust boost by gear will definitely work. One problem... You cannot go lower than the boost on the wastegate springs. Could be a small problem for those with the .8 bar springs.

 

i don't understand why the music with videos.. i can't hear the cars!

 

Yeah...my buddies is still practicing with the editing. Next, I will tell him to keep the music lower, and turn up the sound of the cars!!

 

YES, YES, YES!!!! Right on on well said! I want the Quaiffe! Great for all around performance and I think it will be much quieter on the street and more streetable than the killer clutch type LSDs. But, I am open minded and would like to hear opionions regarding this. I think Quaiffe is the way to go

 

I know guys running 1.6 second 60' ft. times for the qtr. mile with MT ET streets on their 350Zs. This seems like a logical approach to me. 1.6 sec. 60' ft. times were what I was running with my prior car, a mitsu eclispse GSX awd turbo. And it was pulling over 1G coming off the line and felt hellishly good during the launch. The MT ETs are what I plan to use with my 350Z. Get a couple of extra 16" rims for the rear, mount the MT ETs on them, and just use them at the drag strip. Cause they are legal, but scary on the street with even a hint of damp conditions. That should make a world of improvement to your elapsed times.
