judging by your picture on your avatar, i think its more like, her men f*ck sheep....

 

It should hold but mine didn't. Mine has been a headache from day 1. I suggest you go by their break-in directions!

 

ok thanks!! i am clutch limited to right over 500 now with my rps at 13 psi on a dynojet, at the track i cant even build boost in 4th or 5th gear due to the slipping, it just holds at peak of 8 psi by the time i rape the clutch for the three gears before and the launch...



at this point i hate to spend that much on a clutch BUT, i kinda want to keep the stock tranny for a little bit longer, if anything happens to this clutch or the tranny then i am throwing in a th400 without even thinking twice about it....

 

You'll need a cage for 11.49 or lower which will come WAY before 135+ traps...

 

Hey alberto..Wed night I ran an 11.9@111 this was with a 2.01 6 ft.coasting through the traps missed 5th gear...Hows that??

 

Thats funny. Wish I could run 11's with a 60ft like that on a bad run. BTW-do you have a cage yet?

 

I had some half assed bolt in crap I took out..The thing was so lame it would have snapped my kneck if I did roll over..

 

when did they change it? it used to be 11.99 for a 6 point cage or 13.99 if you have a convertible.

 

for 2006, they lowered it to 11.49 for a cage, same for convertable..

 

correction!! you need a CAGE if you run under 10.00 OR trap higher than 135, you need a 5 point bar if you run under 11.49


will be there soon thanks!!

 

stay on topic please!!!!

 

well... after buying my fuel cell, measuring everywhere in the back, trying to follow all the NHRA guidelines (firewall between driver and cell) it doesnt look like its going to be easy, there is a cross frame bar in the back that really limits countersinking it like i want to

soooo also wanting to run in the Sport RWD class i think i am going to tap the back of the stock tank, run an inline Weldon fuel pump with a nice inline filter and be done with it, it will follow all the guidelines and wont loose ANY drivability of the car.

my class i want to soon race in wont let you have a fuel cell OR any other trans other than your own manufacturer...

this will do for a bit!!

 

Punked out huh?

 

Jeremy - They do make custom fuel cells. I was thinking of having one made for the Z to fit in the space where the fuel tank is now, just half the size.

The problem with installing the fuel cell in the spare tire area, they make you totally enclose it in steel for NASA or SCCA.

Maybe we could figure out how to get one made and installed where the stock tank is, and get enough people to buy them, that we could get a group buy going?

 

Then why not just leave the stock tank??

 

NHRA you have to have a firewall between you and the tank. i am definitely doing it now, its not a question, i just need some time to do it, bills are starting to pile up cause i have been taking it easy at work and now i need to step it back up so i can catch back up really quick without having to dive into any savings


i am just going to recess it in the very very back of the trunk, its a total of about 12 inches high, i will countersink it 6 inches and then build a small sheet metal or aluminum wall around it, very simple.....

 

For road racing I am forced to run at least 10 gallons of gas or more on the Z to prevent fuel starvation. A fuel cell utilizes a bladders in order to prevent fuel starvation. Thus, I can run my fuel to almost emty conditions and shave off at least 20 - 30# of fuel weight. Not sure, but probably save a lot of dead weight too.
Also, I believe the fuel tank is lower than the spare tire, and will lower the CG.
Plus, the spare tire area is behind the rear tire, causing more loading on the rear tires. That is why Nissan design the fuel tank as close to the center of the car as possible.

 

The stock fuel tank is not that heavy and is not really worth it to get involved in such a projet. Also keep in mind if you remove the oem fuel tank and put a fuel cell in the rear, you just threw off Nissan near perfect weight distibution of the Z.

 

well this car is going to be a straightline car, i plan on buying a car i can take on road courses soon or MAYBE i was thinking about keeping the G35 and setting it up for road racing... then i will still have a nice car to drive around all the time without the stress or worries of a high hp car breaking down...

i want the weight as far back as i can get it!! hehehe

 

For Drag racing I 100% agree...for daily driver weekend warrior..No way..
