What I want to see is me vs Cody if I go the TT route. He's very likely a better driver than I am presently but I have time to practice at least.

Shift knobs and decals make everything faster. I have so many decals. If I buy a beater, I'm going to cover it in decals.

Do you guys have a meet this weekend? Figured I'd ask since ill be down that way all weekend.

XwChriswX 03-05-2013 02:50 AM

For those that have Flushed their rear Diff fluid, what all is necessary to do so, pump, fluid, copper crush washer(?), what else?

I'm planning on doing mine soon and was wondering if anyone that has still has these things left over that I could borrow for a day/2 to accomplish this?

Lastly, what is the redline fluid used? 75w-90 right?

If your car isn't ready to race, then maybe you should stfu about beating him. Race him now, or don't talk trash. Because as your cars are now, I'm placing my money on Blades every day of the week and twice on Sunday. He's actually been to the track.

Otherwise, I'll have to start talking smack about beating you in the Corvette that I will own in two years.

Your imaginary Corvette vs my imaginary GT-R. Let's race for pinks.

Generally speaking, how often do I need to change out diff fluid and spark plugs out of curiosity?

Diff fluid is dependent upon how hard you drive the car. If you track it regularly... probably every track day, or at least every other.

On the street I'd say every 20-30k is fine. Some people go much, much longer with no issue, but as I said it's dependent on driving conditions.

Spark Plugs... those go a while. First scheduled plug change is 105,000 miles.

For some reason I thought you needed to change out spark plugs more often. That's all I needed to know, thanks.

Technically you guys have been going back and forth about racing for the past couple months now. The date of the test and tune at Capitol was announced weeks ago. Its not like he said "LETS RACE RIGHT NOW!" yesterday and expected you to show up.

You're acting like he just sprung this date of the race on you suddenly. :rolleyes:

technically, I heard about this last week, and technically last week, my tail lights were out of my car, and technically, i was ripping my shift knob out, and technically the car couldnt be driven... sooo technically...:gtfo2:

dmhenderson 03-05-2013 08:27 AM

Oh come on. Changing out a shift knob takes 30 minutes tops and that's if you're SUPER careful.

italy3541 03-05-2013 08:28 AM

so iv been reading everything thats going on i n here and its some good lol's... in all seriousness guys.. everyone is running almost the same mods. the hp difference will be minimal in the cars that are going to race.. what it will come down to is the driver.. iv been drag racing since i was 16 and i can tell you that the key to a good time are as follows.. 1. launch. the most important.. without a good one ur time will be bad. 2. shift points. this is also important because missing a shift will kill time, also knowing what rpm is the best to shift at.. it isnt always at redline for best result.. it takes many runs to determine where the best shift point is, in some of my past cars i saw best times shifting 200-300 before redline. im not saying thats the case in the z im saying that you have to learn the car to run the best time.. now if ur running a automatic then again you will have to learn when to use ur paddles to shift etc.. what im trying to say is going back and forth when the cars are almost the same is pointless.. it will come down to who is the better driver. people always say that drag racing is easy, compared to track raceing it is.. but there is still talent involved with it and learning your car is key to running a good time. you dont just dump the clutch n floor it. sorry for the rant but fighting back and forth about whos car is faster when they are almost the same is pointless.. the argument should be who is the better driver because that is what it would come down to..
