Ron, sell me your wheels from the G.
Nice! I talked with Geoff @ the track and he mentioned you might be staying. Nice kill and death. The wheels just might be for sale; depends on the sale of the car of course. Hope we see you out this Sat nite.

Some more pics.......with snails. Brent, these pics are meant to torture you.

As of now the plan is to drive the car back Friday Dec 8th along with Sharif (with his car) and in time for The Run. Hmmm, that should be a fun drive.

Ron, YOU SUCK!!!! Don't make me sell the Lotus to come up with enough cash to bribe Sharif to put that in MY car...
It's looking sexy man. I might have to send my 'boys' to the shop and make it ‘disappear’ one of these nights...

Now get back to work you slacker... What do you do all day, sit there and scan My350Z.com all day like me..?

Hey yall, my brakes teacher at school was out again tonight. So the hot rod teacher got called into sub for us. He asked us what we were supposed to do and then said "F*ck that Im not teaching that Sh*t, lets go do some dyno runs" LoL, this dude is str8 up crazy.

Anywayz, so I got 3 runs on the dyno with my car for FREE lol. I dont have a scanner here but will scan tommorrow and post.

Im bone stock with nothing done and my highest HP was 241 and the torque was right around there. It was spiking all up and down the graph for some reason, I took a ruler to it and it looks like the torque was just a bit higher then the hp but Im not sure.

First run was in 3rd gear and that speed the dyno up to fast to get a accurate reading so we did the other 2 in 4th, I wanted to go to 5th because that is the 1:1 ratio for the 6speed but he said that it would get the dyno rollers spinning to fast.

Erick got to dyno too but I cant remem what his numbers were, I think he got right around 255ish.

Cool, I ran a 252 on a dynojet. My Z is an auto trany with 5/16 spacer, topspeed 3 inch/ with nismo y-pipe, and pop-charger intake. And it was hot as sh$t that day back in july ..With it cooler out would get some better #'s...Turbonetics soon....Waiting to for the ver. 1.5.....

Yes yes I know wow its been a long time since I've said anything on here but DAMN THAT STUPID MOTHER EFING DYNO **** MY DAMN SCHOOL jk I pulled a 249 hp and a whoping 616 tq woohoo doesn't that sound like I have a lot of torque yeah suposedly its because I wasn't tuned or something a rather whatevver anyways so I think that low *** hp had to do with my wheels and I also think the teacher that said that it didn't matter is on crack because bigger mass rotating is more of a strain on the vehicle for the same reason that they say if you get a big brake kit you lose some hp anyways needless tp say I wasn't happy at all I was expecting atleast over 250 but which leads me to the conclussion that I need lighter wheels and I want to tune my ish suposedly on the zs with a y band afc and injectors you can pull another about 30 to 50 hp and maybe just maybe thatle be enough for me oh yeah and umm I'm sorry but another reason I got on here for the first time in a while is to also tell you guys that I might be missing my first meeting ever this weekend for those of you that don't care you can kiss my *** jk and for those of you who do I'm sorry I can't make it anyways allright guys and damn charles you couldn't wait could yah? Lol

^^^^^^^HELL NO I COULDNT WAIT, I knew right when I walked in the classroom and he said "F*CK BRAKES" that it was going to be a good night.

Also, really hate to do this to ya erick, but the teacher is right, on a dyno your rim size isnt going to make a big difference, at least from my perspective. They slow you down on the road because there taller wheels thus changing your final drive ratio to the ground.


Also the reason that thing was spiking all over the place was because he couldnt get a proper hookup on our cars thru that harness he had. Dont read what the number said about your torque read the curve on the graph.

You naturally should of dynoed a higher horse then me but I should of had a larger torque.

The dyno room at our school is a/c controlled, both mine and ericks dyno runs were done at about 74degrees with 34% humidity, its so that we can have consistency when we put the tbuckets on the dyno that both I and erick will be start building sometime mid next year when we get into hot rod, there going to grade us on how much horsepower, that and for the amount of money both myself and erick are paying to go to this school, they damn well better have a a/c' ed dyno room.

Look you ***** face j.k what makes more sence? That a heavier wheel is gonna make a difference or that I'd doesn't I wasn't talking about the diameter I was talking about the weight. Soposedly the dyno we were on yday was designed to put a load on the wheels as if we are on the road so in that instance it would make sence that something heavier would its like saying I can't spin 19s but I can 18 its less resistance there for being less restictive . And there is only one way to prove and you know it damnit even you said that my hp was close to yours and it shouldn't be explain why I have intake and exhaust aka less retriction a more hp model a newer model with less wear on it yet its so close to yours on the hp level? What's the only thing that would make sence? Maybe weight?
