why was the car dynoed in 4th? I always thought AT were suppose to be in3rd?

 

Very nice build, good to see more Z's on the track... Great Job!

 

I'll offer my observation since I have the paddle shifters on my car. The paddle shift kit froms Works Bell uses the same wiring harness to the tiptronic. It merely splices the harness so the electronic signal is simultaneously received from either the center console shifter or the paddles. Bottom line is that the shift will only be as fast as the normal shift in tiptronic mode. The quickness of the shift will depend more on line pressure which with a valve body upgrade will be much faster and firmer.

 

looks awesome
5AT's have gotta be a major PITA to tune with the tq converter getting in the way of tuning low rpms

 

My question to GTM related to tracking this car. I recently tracked mine at Daytona Intl during ZCon. I did experience some overheating of the trans fluid which of course running at 16psi and in 93 degree weather was a major cause. My questions are:

1. what were the ambient temps at the track?
2. did you all monitor tran fluid temps?
3. how many lbs of boost during the runs?
4. have you done any other cooling mods or adjustments related to the trans fluid?

Thanks and great work.......always impressed with your builds.

Quick pic at the track

 

^^ Trackin the Z on 20's... balla!!!

Can you fit 19's over those brakes if you wanted to?

 

omg, i'm just so speechless....that roadster looks sooooo sweet....

 

Wow. Very nice job as always. I'm usually not too crazy about roadsters but the GTM built roadsters kick some serious a$$!!

 

The factorty 19" Infiniti G35 wheels fit over them....see post #140.

LOL! Yes, 19s are the minimum. One of these days I may actually get some track wheels.

 

red gauges on the inside are the old hotness blue gauges on the inside NEW HOTNESS

 

yeah but green gauges are teh next hotness

 

i think i once drove in an old ford car with green gauges

 

lol well they're coming back! - just like everything else does every 20-30 years

just wait until pink gauges comes around

 

I WANT WAIT TO SEE STILLEN CARBURATOR FOR 540Z !!!!!!



ok..back to topic

 

I actually have a customer who wants green done next.

Sam, the car looks fantastic. I'm glad I could assist. I have to say my favorite part is the front grill. What are the 2 blue coolers for, oil?

 

It is GREAT to see more Z's and G's out on the tracks........but there is a HUGE difference in "tracking the car" or "track tested" and just driving the car around the track.

Nice car and build, none the less though.

A+ on the blue gauge LED's (I want to do that with my blue Z)

 

^ Blue is actually easier on the eyes..are those the defi blue racer or BF's ?...pics won't work at work for me..sorry. .but red is also very cool.

 

4th is 1 to 1 on the 5AT

 

Green is like German cars. Ruf as well.
