Decided to take the 300ZX to our new 1/8 mile track today. The car isn't "finished" yet as I'm still running the a terrible canned tune and only have my boost at 18psi, I need to tune it and up the boost some. I also very obviously need some drag radials or slicks too. I had to bog on launch or I would get incredible amounts of wheel hop or spinning. I'm happy with the MPH but the ET is weak, mainly due to my 60'. This is my best pass of the day VS my friends tune only Solstice GXP. I'm car 11.

Mine is the first generation body. The Z31, not as pretty as the 90's Z32 but much much easier to work on.

This was a little photo shoot a friend and I did with his supercharged Cavy.







With the power this car is putting down these times are horrid lol

My friend just put up a video of a couple passes. This is from the front bumper of the car from his action cam. I have a few passes I recorded on a phone in a window mount inside the car that I need to upload.


*edit*

My videos. The were filmed in the car when I remember to turn on it on lol. I used a phone and a window mount.

An 86 300 was almost my first car. Was mint looking, wasn't the turbo one but I loved it. Ended up with a 2000 grand am gt. Close enough.

94 3000GT VR-4 was going to be my first car, then that didn't pan out, same with an 04 IRL.

Friends dad has a 92 300Z turbo bone stock he bought it new and stored for every winter has about 90k on it, he looked at the new Z's but they are slower...

OzzyruleZ

Yeah the 03-06 cars are slower than the 300ZX TT. The 07's and up with the HR motors are about the same level as the TT. Until you turn up the boost lol

I always liked the z31. Loved seeing them in Japan. Looked into modding, but the turbos from what I read back then didn't do much good past 13 psi, and the mods were lacking.

Aftermarket is a bit better now than when I started mine. A lot of the stuff on my car is custom made. It's all about figuring out what parts interchange lol. But some companies have stepped up and started offering parts. Still nowhere near other cars though.

The stock turbo is tiny. You can get about 260whp 300+ft/lbs with the stock turbo and fuel system. But if you upgrade the fuel system, ecu and turbo the engine can handle a fair amount of power on stock internals. 450+whp is reliable. There are guys getting 700whp out of them with forged pistons in the stock block with the stock crank.

Mine is mild still with 371whp, my ecu is holding me back at the moment

Took it down the 1/4 mile tonight. Only got 2 passes in. First pass I had to much air in the tires and just spun. 2nd pass was a 12.776 @ 111mph. Almost lost it mid track that pass, scared the **** out of me. The car has way more in it. After that pass I was done for the night

The sleeper factor on that car is insane.

OzzyruleZ

In car video of the pass that scared me lol. 2nd ever 1/4 mile and slicks pass for me. So much room for improvement.
