Drag strip or Track.

Keep in mind those surfaces are not the same as street and don't translate 1:1.

All i want to know is can you put ET street R on rpf1

DaveZ03 01-18-2024 01:02 PM

Man you are all over the place with this. Doesn't really leave the community here with any faith that you are taking anything we offer seriously. Your past posts have all indicated some type of "hooning" on the street, i.e. aggressive/immature exhibitions of speed. You went and stated that you wanted more power to reach a higher top speed, then that you were doing this in Mexico??? You then reportedly twin turbo and then this thread pops up. You were then called out for your aforementioned questionable exhibits of speed and power, to only say "ok im going to the track, what about 305 45 17 et street R on 10x17 +18 enkei rpf1?" and "All i want to know is can you put ET street R on rpf1".

You have not answered the question on what gbrettin asked, Drag strip or Track? A valid question that has a lot of value, pending your response on intended usage on which type of track. If you are doing say time attack, you do not want to use a drag slick. If you are doing a drag race, you do not wanna use a track based tire that is intended for load shifts as a result of navigating chicanes.

Optically speaking, if your past posts shine any light on your true intentions for your Z, and I don't mean to speak for everyone here, but please take this somewhere else. Either another forum or a FB group or some other type of social interaction. I feel confident in saying that a majority or the community here does not want anything to do with street racing.

DaveZ03, meet Chen.

Chen drinks Dos Equis and Red Bull, now he’s the most interesting flying man.

Two people I know crashed in the last year. Not getting into the reasons of why. It doesn't matter. You are showing signs of inexperience and a lack of thinking so I will continue to bow out of this conversation. Good luck and don't kill anybody.

Exactly this. Which is why the community is reluctant to help you hoon on the streets. Am I saying we are street angles over here 100%? No, but I'm not going to venture down that path because I don't want words getting twisted around. OP seems to be a special kind of dense.

I can speak from experience that a part malfunction at low/moderate speeds can result in serious carnage on your car and endanger others. Boosted application amplifies ANY weakness on your car and can put you in a bad situation, even experienced drivers.

Openly saying you are testing the limits of what your car can do on the streets and asking amateur questions is why people are giving you push back. We simply don't want to be an accessory to your possible death; even worse, you killing someone else.

Take a moment and really let the above sink in.... Seriously. It's not a joke.

Go to a track: drag strip, half mile, 1mile, circuit. There's going to be a flavor that meets your needs there. All the track surfaces are reasonable well maintained. Tracks also have fire and medical on site during their sessions in case of emergency. You will meet really cool people that want you to succeed in your goals and you will likely make awesome friends along the way.

ok i would say drag strip, I am worrying about the tire falls off or the wheel break, for higher max speed, I need to change the finial gear ratio from 3.9 to 3.3

How much power does your car make?

nm. You mentioned 650whp.

Get some 15's that can support 275 drag radials. You will need to do a base break conversion to accommodate that. You will also need to get shocks to support the independent rear suspension. Call Import Drag Solutions. They will take in the weight of your car and custom make you an order to support a range of whp. The shocks will be about 1,000.

what if I want 17inch wheel to clear the brake? MT et street R 305 looks good

gbrettin 01-26-2024 10:28 AM

There are some 17's that will clear the sport brakes. Not sure which ones, but I have seen it.

You could do a known good 17" to clear and bead lock it for drag radials. It will be more expensive wheel and tire combo; however, I did exactly just that. As an example, I had beadlocks put on the Nismo 57cr wheel by Mac Fab. Keep in mind this setup will not work as well as a 15, but I have future plans for that. I'm going to make a drag pack brake kit utilizing TBM brakes.

Note that you can't run the same setup as what I have. My car's electronics, or lack of, is different than yours. I'm showing it as an example of custom beadlocks. You will need to do some math to figure out the rotational differences. I believe it needs to be with-in 3% for OEM. There's web sites for that.

Also, you can not drive your car if it is damp or raining. If you run over spit on the road you might spin out. It's meant for driving to the drag strip, legal enough to get you there.

I'm offering up this information in confidence that you are intending to hit the dragstrip btw. Of which, I have a nagging feeling you are not.

Chen's questions in his brain this whole time...

"What's prep vs unprep?"

"What's so different on a drag strip?"...."ok fine I'll just tell them I go drag strip"

"What's a bead lock?"

His understanding of how a car works is simplistically str8 forward...every "problem" he had, the answer was to change to a different part. He thinks "buy a new part = fix a problem".

Stop wasting time.

At this point there's PLENTY of information, if he's serious, to do research on his own.

what is the size of this 57cr? I believe you got 18x10.5+22 and made it bead lock to hook the tire, how much whp your car make and how its hook? and it is only for drag racing? what is the total cost for the tire and wheel and fabric, but for my around 650 less than 700whp, I dont think I need the bead lock right now, but it looks safer with beadlock wheel

You're right. Let me go easy with a trial run dinner for this week first.

Korean pork

4 pork loin strips
Soy sauce (low sodium) - 5 tbsp
Rice vinegar - 1tbsp
Sweet soy glaze - 1-2tbsp
Fish sauce - 5 dashes
Chinese 5 spice - couple dashes
Garlic powder - enough to cover top of pork
3 tbsp Garlic chili sauce
Pinch Brown sugar

Toss everything in a slow cooker and cook 4 hrs on high or until shreddable

Leingod 01-30-2024 02:18 PM

Starting to smell like grandpa in here. If only this forum had more than 1 active mod and a completely inactive admin, we wouldn't have dipchits like this to contend with.

Here's a recipe for loaded baked potato salad

▪2lb/1kg russet potatoes, partially peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
▪Olive oil
▪Salt
▪75g or 2/3c medium or sharp cheddar, finely shredded
▪250g/8 sliced bacon, chopped
▪200g or 3/4c mayo
▪150g or 1/2c sour cream
▪100g or 1c scallions, thinly sliced
▪3g or 1 1/3tsp black pepper

Add chopped potatoes to a bowl with a long generous squeeze of olive oil and 2 large pinches of salt. Spread out onto a sheet tray. Roast at 450F/230C for 25-35 minutes, tossing halfway through. When done, potatoes should be cooked through and be nicely crisped on 1-2 sides. Allow to cool before assembling salad.

Heat saute pan over med-low. Add in chopped bacon - i freeze mine for 15min to make it easier to cut. Cook for 15-20min until cooked and golden brown, stirring frequently to be sure bacon doesn’t stick. Allow to cool before assembling salad.

Transfer cooked potatoes into a bowl, reserving about ¼ of them. Thoroughly chop the reserved ¼ of potatoes then add them to the rest of the potatoes in the bowl. Add in bacon and it’s fat, mayo, sour cream, cheese, scallions, and pepper. Stir to combine. Garnish with black pepper and a sprinkle of cheese and additional scallions.
