Look at what I did. That will give you an idea of how I handled it.

First, a quality LSD diff. Clutch type would be preferred.
2nd, SPL solid or Z1 urethane diff bushings.
3rd, SPL or Nismo solid subframe bushings.
4th, Bellworks Diff brace. You may need to modify if to fit around your exhaust.

Only missing the LSD at this point. That's on my ever growing list of needed mods. :rofl2:

No mods needed for my diff brace. Gonna blast out through the fender or, more preferable, just in front of the rear wheels out the body panel.

I'm probably going to make some additional bracing or get something through Soul Function as well.

Thanks for the input dude! Always appreciated.

If you drop the sub-frame with the diff in it. You could fab up a stout brace that is mounted to the top of the diff and the sub-frame. I was thinking of doing this when I dropped my sub-frame when I did the bushings.

That didn't take long. Overheating. Take a guess.

At least he didn’t blow it up this time. Baby steps...

DaveZ03 01-10-2020 07:13 AM

I thought it was hilarious that after one pass, he was nervous about doing another.

If you have never been in a 800hp Z, I understand. They are fast. It takes a pair to drive them and a good amount of experience.

JARblue 01-10-2020 09:26 AM

Stop posting his videos and getting him more hits :p

I enjoyed that video. LMAO I like seeing other folks reactions to a high hp Z. I can't wait for Hotrodz to get his car back. I will enjoy how he reacts also. It's an experience.

This is what I like. Just right down the road from me.

Look at Nelson Engines too. They freshened up a pair of boat engines for a guy I used to work with. It was the cost of a house. :eek:

LOL, he is getting good a breaking stuff. He did it again, scared the crap out of himself.
LMAO, I was rolling.

I seen the new video. Broke the drive shaft. Fixed that. Then broke the diff cover again. Even had the Bell diff brace. Looked like the stock cover.

Looks like right after he hit 3rd gear, he lid the tires up at mid track. Give him credit for saving his azz.

Broke the axle. Then broke something else on the Toy.

It makes you want to stay the heck off the drag strip with so many broke parts. No doubt will give anyone second thoughts.

1/4 mile is tough on driveline parts. Stick with the 1/2 mile. Where you don't have to launch as hard.

gbrettin 01-19-2020 05:57 PM

I don't know what that dude is doing for motor mounts, but what ever they are... they're not right.

If he had a stand alone ECU and drive speed sensors he could do some pretty trick anti-slip tuning.

solidus 01-19-2020 06:40 PM

I'm gonna be rolling Freshkicks style soon with 17" Weld rear. I am gonna hit the 1/4 just to break into the 10s. All I need to see is a 10.99 or better after that it's roll and 1/2 mile.

His launch control is some solenoid on the clutch line. It slows the clutch release in 1st gear.

Oh yeah, I saw that sh1tty contraption.

I was saying that he could take wheel speed sensors and look at the difference between the front wheel and rear wheel. Based off duration of slip and speed difference, power can be adjusted accordingly; as opposed to slamming into the wall at 100mph due to traction loss.

He has a twin disk Spec clutch with a heavy pressure plate. That clutch is not friendly on drivetrain parts at all.

I'm starting to wonder if he has his VDC off, and if the yaw sensor is disconnected.

He would have to have VDC off, it's garbage.

I accidentally left VDC on when I did a nitrous pull from a dig. The car turned onto a bucking bronco because it killed almost all the throttle and then gave 100%. My nitrous was wired to come on at 100%:icon14:

He's not even using speed density to tune so that kind of tuning is a long way off. I don't think he's gonna go that deep in the rabbit hole even with YouTube views money.

Yeap, he is on Uprev not ECUTECK.

The yaw sensor won't make a difference. I couldn't drive my car with VDC on. I had to turn it off. If I started to spin the ECU would shut the throttles on me and the car would back fire.

His launches are chit. Looks like he bogs off the line every time. Just like his VDC is on.

Yeah, the VDC shuts it down like right now.

Yeap, first time I drove my car at MA-Motorsports when I was picking it up. Left turn, jump on it and bam, backfired. LOL Everytime after that I drove the car with traction control off. Period.
