I was wondering when we'd hear back from you on your car. Sounds like it's exactly what you were hoping for.

I can't wait to hear some track results. It's going to be refreshing hearing about a very high hp 350z at the track without getting posts filled with excuses about why the car didn't run the number. I know you'll be using your power to it's potential and I expect some VERY respectable ET's.

Good Luck!

Thanks man, I appreciate the words. Curious as to what your weight/whp and new best time is? I know its in the 10's what kind of 60ft did you pull?

It weigh 3775 with me in it (according to Byron's scales Saturday). I never dynoed with the pulley I run at the track, but I imagine my rwhp is similar to your high boost number. I squeaked into the 10's with a 10.999 (1.6 60 ft.) in marginal air, so I think there might be another tenth or two in it as it sits. Too bad I can't run tonight, it's freezing cold out here and the DA will probably be close to sea level (it was 600' last night ).

Since this car is my daily transportation, I doubt I'll go much faster until I find another car/truck for a DD. I don't want to go down the road I did with my GN where the car becomes less of a "Street" car and more of a "Streetable" car.

Enough about my car, this is your thread and I'm glad to hear you're back on the road. Like BriGuyMax mentioned earlier, I bet your car is a blast to drive now. Have fun with it for a while and get to the track when you're ready.

Very nice Alberto! At your convenience can you log boost build up on a 4th gear run starting at 1500rpm until 5000rpm in 500rpm increments please? I'd like to see how the twins build boost. Ive got a T66 on my Max and I'd like to compare.

Also please mark your calender for November 5th Import VS Domestic at MIR. I'd let you use my MT ET Radials And you might wana consider a roll bar too!

Scroll back a page or two, and I believe Alberto posted the boost chart. The turbos spool pretty quickly for a non-BB design.

so imagine what a Th400 at 22 PSI with a 200 shot will do... it will only be about two weeks now


hey bert, see why i am getting rid of the nissan tranny, i mean, it sucks but it has to go, maybe you should look into a Z32 5 speed, they are indestructable.... OR you can spend 4 Gs on a gear set from GTM...

I highly doubt a gearset for our trans will cost 4 grand. Most upgraded gearsets are between 1K and 2K....
