the 370Z is still new and we're still exploring the limits.

oh i know... i've already got a set of RE-11 rears and i'm saving my pennies for a 4.08's. ;)

what's your user name on that site?

same as this site

Steve, AWESOME!!!

Thats because 350's have been out forever more people have raced them than 370's. I hope that there will be more boosted 370z times this coming year that is the one area that this site lacks.

Nice number man. I want to see what numbers I can put up on my car soon.

Ok took the car to my own ex nissan mechanics this morning.
They found the tranney to be dowm 2 quarts.
This really ***** me off as i just payed nissan 180 .00 two weeks ago to flush and refill my tranney.
This why the car shifted so bad from 4th to 5th. The shift took for ever 2 or 3 tenths at least. the engine did nothing but die till it hit 4000 in 5th.
It cost me my 12.4 pass.
I had the oil changed to royal puple racing 5. 30 today and drained and filled the rear diff. with royal purple.
he also bumped my timing 2 degress.
Look out the car is now a living terror. It jumps and shifts way better than when i went to the track.
I have both skinney mounted on the spare tire rims now.
The saving is aprox 31 lbs of the front of the car.
will post pic of tire today.
Im still waiting for one fitting for the line lock.
light weigh rotors and brake pads ordered from racing brake
will change out real brake hose to SS so that i will have more brakes holding the back wheels on the launch.
will be at the track in 2 or 3 weeks.
Will not catch J naut but it going to be a fast !/4 mile time
Now if i can only figure out how to attach the seat belt to my racing seat.i can pull a nother 21 lbs out of the car.

Well it's good that you figured out the problem :tup:

I'm excited to see how you do at the track now. If possible, you should try to get a video of your run :excited:

wow that must be why my tranny is also not shifting like it use to and don't lockup properly anymore . I tried to tune the tranny with Uprev but nothing really work well.
I had a leak for a while apparently but I never saw any fresh oil under my front end until last week.

it was only leaking like 1 drop every several minutes on idle.
I added 3/4 Liter but I'm just too afraid overfilling it.

I'm still waiting for the Dealership to receive the (special tool) for the flush since none around Ottawa has it.

Solid time man.

When they fill it make sure that the tranney oil is at 40 c or more,
There is no secret how to fill it.
the car has to be running at idle.
you open the vent under the tranney and remove the filler cap.
Have them put the fluid in till it streams out of the vent.
let it run for 10 to 15 seconds.
then stop filling the tranney when it stops running.
go and road test your car and chech it again (same procedure as above.)
you will be amased as how much fluid it will take.
make sure that you do not pay for this as its under warenty if you had a leak.
what was leaking the tranny front seal
ask for a new transmsion as they have no servisable parts

the leak was from the oil cooler I installed , not the transmission itself

its sad Uprev cant log the ATF Temp :mad: that would be easier than dealing with installing another gauge only for that this.

I think when I did it , it was around 20-25 Celsius I didn't know it would affect the filling to much .

Good news. the slinneys are mounted on the 18 x4 rims. Weight savings are 31 lbs of the front of the car.
Brake rotors should be here by next friday.
The tranney is now full and 12.4's or better next time out.
Going to be reinstall the cobb fuel curve.
I think i found a 7 AT torque converter and im going to have it built for a 3300 to 3400 rpm stall. should get me into the 1.7's 60 ft time/ It will be better than the GTM one for drag racing. (1.860 )
big things happening up here in Canada.

Crazy fast! Makes me wanna mod my 7at
Keep it up :tup:
