If you really want to run at the drag strip, I would go straight to a slipper clutch that you can tune with weights on the pressure plate. I am not sure of anyone who makes one. Z-Speed may be able to do it. That is what all the fast stick shift cars run on the drag strip.

The drag strip is not my thang. I do enjoy watching it though and keep up with what is going on.

I'm not trying to get THAT competitive in regards to the slipper clutch etc. I will run the Magnus slipper on the OS Giken twin plate I have. I guess I should have asked my question in a different way. I am not interested in investing another 10k in drive train parts, I have enough engine to break ****, I want to stay under the threshold and enjoy the car at that level. Appreciate the links/examples so far I missed a few of those in my searching |

At least you know what your up against and not flying blind so if something happens it won't be a surprised.

I forgot to mention. Do not flat foot shift. It will kill the trans. 3rd gear mostly and the input shaft. Shewantsthezeee guy has killed several trans doing that. That is also how Mr. Squeeze broke his input shaft.

I don’t want peace! I want problems! Always!
I am not trying to have my cake and eat it too. I just want to get an idea of where I need to set my limits. Stock long block is good for x, it costs way to ******* much to make another 200whp and it takes a magnitude more to make anything over that reliably. We have the conversation about engines all the time and it’s fairly common knowledge at this point. I am just trying to figure out that situation axle wise. I have ALWAYS been a Nissan guy since I had a GTi-R 18 years ago, Nissan has its faults but at this point it’s a shitty marriage and I will not go anywhere else. I stick to the evil I know. Don’t want you guys to think I am expecting to be spoon fed either, just not a lot of Zs drag racing much less the owners sharing negative results. Without saying, one mans google-fu is not good enough so let’s pool the information together. “If you wanna run 9s yours gonna break xyz so stay in this lane unless you have the cupcakezxpress (never leave home without it) to race at that level”. I think we have achieved that so far |
I have shared with you what I know will break. At what point, I can't say. Folks have broken stuff all across the board. Now you know what breaks. That's the best I can do.
|
I would say it comes down to how committed you are, theoretically you could do a rear end conversion and swap out the trans with something that can take the abuse, but you'd be talking huge money, but the benefit is you wouldn't be breaking ****.
|
Thank you for sharing, I definitely value the input and data and discussion.
As far as being committed that is what I am trying to responsibly gauge. I have no shame in saying Certain things are above my pay grade as it were. At the end of the day I’m going to go out there on 28x10.5 bias ply slicks and skinnies up front and give it hell. If it survives I’ll let you know, if I leave a trail of parts, I will also let you know. |
