So i took my dad for a ride on saturday since the weather was nice. It was his first time seeing the car since I shipped it out. His impression on the car was:

"This is a freaking rocket ship... no its a star ship! Once you hit the gas I was pinned to the seat and couldn't even move! It just ungodly fast! even my race bikes wouldn't stand a chance against this! I felt like i was seeing stars and thought the car was going to do a wheelie!"

Needless to say he had a blast and it was only a short ride. we hit 25psi which is in the 900+rwhp range on a couple of runs. :D

He is actually right. I skip the water, square up and reverse a little, the spank the grit and **** off the tires. I try to get second light staged first and as fast as possible, once the other driver gets first stage, ebrake at full yank, start slipping the clutch ever so slightly while doing my best to hold revs at 3.2-5k. When they get second stage, slip even harder, the *** starts to squat really hard at this point, can only do this for a few seconds because it takes a serious toll on the clutch, I have glazed it over a few times already. Lights drop, side step the clutch, feather the throttle a little trying to maintain traction, bang rev limiter at 7.8k while stabbing the clutch and no lift on throttle pedal, snag second. Miss that and just might as well coast to the end.

But yes you can load up the car really well in a manual, but requires a lot of hand and foot work. Also, like he said smaller brakes on the rear, 15-16" wheel, zero to a degree positive camber on the rear, air down tires. I haven't gone as far as smaller brakes, but I am finally going to a 18" wedsport TC105n with MT street slicks in the rear this year. Even dropping the tire pressure on a 19 to around 25psi makes a world of difference. If you kill the motor, not launching at a high enough RPM and try again.

i am glad to see this unicorn running, i remember seeing this car on youtube a couple years ago when i first got my nismo 370z

you should go to TX2K15 and race for some dough, I'm sure you'll make some big bucks eating some of those cars out there

I won't have a chance against 1800+ whp cars hahaha they have way more money than me and that's a pay to play kind of event!

Lol maybe one day... Still sorting through stuff and needing Jon to get the z1 dyno ready...

thats why you pick on the 700-900hp corrvettes XD

either way i can't wait to see what your car makes fully tuned

Need AWD like the GTR or Lambo.

And a soft rear suspension. Changing rear geometry a bit to have no camber, taller tires, super soft drag radials, and some meaty balls and you'd have a drag car to compete with the best of them...That's a ton of freakin power man!! nice job for sure

I think he can go after a lot of cars with 200-300 more HP. The Z is "light" in comparison to a lot of cars out there. If it's a rolling start, lookout!

:iagree: the Z is pretty light, you could hang with many of the cars there. And who cares if you can't win, it's the whole experience of it all and plus when you got a 1000whp car, that's the competition you got to go against. Lol.

But anyways, when's the next dyno run? I wanna see the real powa of that monster!

The way you can beat those 1500+ hp GT-Rs is by actually enjoying your car and driving it! They dont have that luxury.

So true! Driving 2 hours one way to a car show tomorrow ;)

Not only that 1500hp GTR's can't fuel up down the street. Most TX mile cars are c16 or at best E85.

Like the ETS and AMS GTR's. Yea they're 7sec cars, but take one of them on a 6 hour trip tell me if you can find a pumping station on the way back.:bowrofl:

So I drove to and from the car show today... Put 200+ miles on the car ran a few roll races and even with wheels spinning through 4th and into 5th I had a blast!

^ Video's or it never happened!!! :D

I'm not going to incriminate myself but Jon parham has some video of a white blur on his phone that's me lol...

spinning like this?:stirthepot:

Thank God NO!!! More like a consistent off angle pull then shift then the car would angle the other direction slightly. Granted I am rolling into the throttle... Not mashing the pedal for fear of that happening to me...

Man... how do you keep the car straight without twisting the rear end and spinning out? That's what I worry about when I floor it in 1st and 2nd.

1st gear is non existent...
2nd gear the car is sideways and your counter steering while on the throttle...
3rd gear it wants to snap back from the shift and you have to roll on...
4th and 5th it is slightly sideways...

Every pull i have done so far in mexico... the car spins the tires through 4th gear... I typically short shift at 5k rpm on some runs depending on the other car to make it even and to keep the car from going too sideways...

ran it over the weekend against my buddies 600whp 300zx and even with him jumping the start (lol on 3)... me short shifting with tire spin I caught him in one gear and was passing him... once i caught him and started to pass him I cut the throttle as it was getting way to fast... that and I was running no hood and plastics in the engine bay started to lift and wave hi to him as I passed him.

why do you have no hood??

Do you have it setup for boost level per gear, or have Racelogic TCS installed? How about your gearbox, is it built?

Because racecar. :p

Lol true because racecar!

my new hood arrived today or so says Jon from Z1... we will see when I call him in a few...

Only an upgraded clutch and flywheel at the moment. The OEM gears are perfectly fine for these power levels suprisingly... may go down to a lower Final drive to get better top end and improve drive-ability. 1st gear 60mph anyone hehehe

I am still awaiting my traction control unit from GTM. We were missing the wiring harness and Zeliminator was kind enough to loan his for a new one to be made for me!

Awesome

Just go with the lower final drive trust me you wont regret it.:driving:

What ratio did you go with? Automatic transmission final drive?

do you have a true LSD? not the viscous BS stuff

It's stock lmfao!!! Ps OS giken I need a diff!

lol...explains a lot of traction issues! that stock one barely does anything for stock power. Cusco makes a clutch type diff, and those grab the best usually. I'd do a decent diff before changing out the final drive, though doing both probably won't hurt :driving:

When applying power in a straight line, i havent had any issues with single tire slip with the stock diff. But it definitely gets screwy when turning more than a couple degrees.

That's crazy power.

Personally I run a lower tune and make 4/5 gear useable at full throttle.:driving:

Spinning is fun, but if the guy next to you is putting buses on you because of 0 traction then its not so fun.

I went with the auto FYI below is comparison of stock vs the 3.3 mine is a little higher because I rev to 7800 Rpm. With the power you are making you're car would be a completely different animal than it is already.

3.69 Final drive 3.3 Final drive
7500 Rpm Redline 7500 Rpm Redline.

First -----41mph First------- MPH46
Second --68mph Second MPH74
Third ----97mph Third MPH107
Forth ----124mph Forth MPH136
Fith------157mph Fith MPH173
Sixth-----198mph Sixth MPH218

So an update for everyone... We made some great progress! On Friday we worked on the fuel mappings to increase the cars daily drivability. In the process we were able to sneak out some more power at lower boost levels. We have set the daily boost levels for 22psi... We made 853rwhp and 671ftlbs at 22psi on 93 octane. I was also able to get a proper alignment on the car and took the rear camber from -3* of camber to -.7*! Woah what difference that made! The car hooks now and the power really gets to the ground! Soo much though that I got to play around with my boy Rob's Nismo GTR last night and I felt really comfortable playing with him with partial throttle runs!!! This car is stupid fast! The car easily can out pace the Nismo gtr and probably any sub 800whp GTR... In a straight line that is and from a roll...

Ohhh and we have a new hood too!

That's what I'm gonna do on slims recommendation. Thanks for the posting up the chart my bro. That makes me all that more anxious to get mines in :driving:

853rwhp/677ftlbs @22psi on 93 octane:

ENJOY! its loud...

on a side note here are the calculations I came up with for gearing:

Based on an 7500RPM redline

Stock 6MT: 3.69 Final Drive
1--44mph
2--71mph
3--102mph
4--131mph
5--166mph
6--210mph

6MT with the 3.3 Final Drive:

1--48mph
2--79mph
3--113mph
4--144mph
5--183mph
6--231mph

Do I sense a desire to insure accuracy and actually hit 231? :)

Those stock MT numbers look a little high in each gear. I don't hit 100 in third and top of 4th is more like 125ish. Not that I have any actual experience with that level of speed:ugh2:
