97,325 miles and counting on this 350Z TT that I purchased from JustinZ.

I got to run the Z yesterday at the USP event in the sport compact heads up class. The setup on this Z is
Greddy TT 10.5PSI around 500whp corrected.
Nismo cams
Modified intake plenum
CJM fuel system
Nismo clutch
turboxs Utec
Esplier springs
factory LSD
stock bottom end
and the high mileage mod

Location Denver, CO. Bandimere speedway higher than 5800ft above sea level.
Track temp 107 degrees
Total cars in the class was 11 cars

12.5@107 2.0 60ft bogged off the line couldnt get into 5th gear qualifier #3
12.2@111 1.9 60ft bogged again #4
11.86@117 1.78 60ft #3
11.81@118 1.72 60ft #3
11.9@118 1.76 60ft in this run I had to go up against a 10sec civic race car which placed first, I ended up placing 3rd and a check in the mail. I was running the Mickey Thompson Street radials 275/40 17.

I will post videos and pictures soon. I got some incar video too. The car was driven to the track and driven home.

 

impressive man, congrats. do the nismo cams make it sound very different?

 

nice, could you get better time then 11.8 ya think?

 

With the current exhaust setup it does sound different. Not sure with a full exhaust what it would sound like pretty soon tho, I should have a full exhaust soon. Current exhaust is 2 downpipes into 2 mufflers that exit before the diff and tips pointed downwards.

 

I was told I could squeeze a 11.5-11.6 out of it if I bring my 60ft down to a 1.6. It was my first time running the car and wasnt expecting a 11.8.

 

Yea, thats great. at 10.5 psi, what whp is that?

 

around 500whp corrected

nice vid

 

very nice cant wait

 

Nice.........I need to see it run.

 

97k miles! wow how long of that has been boosted?

 

Nice sideways launch bro and still running 11's, wow that car was a lot faster than I thought lol. Also I see you still got the stylin temp tag!

 

Man Moe....Are you trying to make Juztin suicidal?!
Juztin, 100k on that motor and beating the hell out of it and it runs like a champ?! You did a hell of a job bro.

LOL I drove it hard bro, but Moe definitely drives it harder than me and it's still running super strong, i'm still amazed by that car He was launching it at redline with semi-slicks cutting sick 60' ft's with a ton of power and it took it like a champ. I'm feeling suicidal now thinking about it LOL Moe has some monster plans in the works for the Z, he's gonna make it REAL hard to keep up with him

 

Yeah...I don't know why I am so afraid to run over 9.5 lbs of boost. I have seen sooo many pix in the F.I. forums of bent connecting rods with the Turbonetics kit on stock internals. HELP ME GET OVER THIS!!!!!

I would say, dont over boost your stock engine, moe's car is one of those Z's thats lucky. I have read of past 380-400 to the wheels is the limit on stock engine, but up at altitude we have corrected whp ratings, so maybe that makes a difference? just my 2cents.

 

Thats correct and also you need the correct fuel system setup and good engine managment with a good tune. You loose about 1psi up here at altitude. A/F ratio has to be correct and the correct amount of ignition timing plays a factor also. Recommend using colder plugs. Its not just a matter of turning a **** to get more boost then it will go kaboom.

 

What I was worried about the most is snapping a axle on the launch. The car weighed in at 3420lbs with me in it, I left everything in the car the way I drive it every day

 

Did you get much wheel spin or wheel hop when you were launching like that? If you didn't I need to rent those tires from you to see how I like them. That would be the set up right there if you weren't getting any wheeel hop.

Agreed...nevertheless, stock internals, 500hp, racing (with drag radials) from what I have been told all are a prescription for doom done well or not. So why not make some adjustments and run 10lbs? (me) There is no magic there, it's obviously attainable....are we keeping this a secret?
