I went with a Southbend Stage 3 Drag clutch and 19lb steel flywheel. The clutch engagement isn't actually bad at all! Can't slip it though, it doesn't like it very much. I'm getting used to the clutch nicely now, though. After I get my RE-11's on, and they break in, I'll be down to the drag strip for a hopefully cool, not-rainy day. :tup: |

Since then I've removed the trunk plastic on the tail gate, sides covering the rear shock towers, the plastic on the other side of the back of the seats with the ledges, more sound deadening behind the seats and around fuel pump, 11lbs battery with aluminium holder, plastic around rear window, and I think that's it too. Next is sound deadening under the seats, and test pipes. |

The only thing you are missing is this... -trap speed is a representation of your power/weight ratio. -ET or time...is a representation of traction 2.2 60 ft means you're spinning tires. I am not surprised to see a slower time with a higher trap speed. Car is making good power, but you need more driver mod and or better tires. From a 40mph+ roll you would be neck and neck with any of those other Z's on the list trapping around that speed |
Minor correction in the all motor. Mine is touring NON-SPORT. Although it does have quaife lsd added

Whomever is updating the list, can you change the screen name "agrotech" to "NBZ34" in the stock & modified all motor categories? Thanks!

Went to the track for the first time ever a few weeks ago, my first run was a 14.2. My second run i got a better launch and did a 13.725. At that point i wasnt allowed to race again, because if you run under 13.9 you need a helmet.

Here's my timeslip from today. 2012 370Z 7AT base sport 13.445@103.43 74degrees out with a 10mph headwind. Completely stock the same as it came from the factory.

Nice times for factory stock

With a good history and lots if practice, driver mod isn't going to change. But one day buying a good tire from these hockey pucks should enhance things. Unless I try a good burnout and see if they'll stick better. |

I run my zed for the first time on the weekend 12.70 first pass, had 5 runs for the day all were in the 12.7-12.9 range with the first pass the fastest and the last pass the second fastest at a 12.77. had bad 60ft times all day struggling with grip. I have a video that I will put up soon.

from the list it looks like its the 3rd fastest NA car so I would have thought that it was a great result, what was your time

14.0. See that's my point. I can have a horrible start, 60 foot, 1/8 mile and 1/4 but a roll on the highway we'd be dead even. My tires blow so it'll never be a 1/4 mile car. |
video of the run
12.70 second 1/4 mile 370z NA - YouTube |
mine will never be a 1/4 mile car either, strange things happen at the track with mph and et. 87mph at half track looks to be on the fast side for these cars also so cant explain the top end.

Sold the Z guys :shakes head: I was never able to get good 1/4 times with my car. Not that my new GTI will be any faster haha.
Just realized I missed my Audi interior, thought the 2013 GTI with leather DRLs heated seats etc, may be a nice compromise. Stage 2 parts in the mail (full bolt ons CAI,FMIC, DP, CB, tune) and im about to drop down on a k04 turbo upgrade for stage 3! haha purchased with 15 miles 2 weeks ago and im already modding!! :icon17: hoping for low 13s with bolt ons or mid 12s with the turbo upgrade. Trying to have my cake and eat it to, im fat! Ill be in touch, hope to see progress with all your Z's! :tiphat: |

These guys that don't know how to drive will turn it around to a dyno chart game. There are people that claim 340h.p & do slower times. Means nothing if their chart shows 500h.p but they can't even break 13's. I don't know the gearing of an automatic trans. so I can't comment about getting new rear end gears. Get better traction & you'll do 12.5's. At the rear, lighter/smaller wheels & drag radials should help a lot. You're one of the very few that can go quick. "accelerating of a roll or feel by the pants means NOTHING!" Just saw the video. You broke the tires in second gear. Getting drag radials & warming them up would make the car quicker & faster(mph :) |

Temperature and DA information written on the timeslip.
The car in the right lane was an eclipse or something with a huge turbo. his last run was 10.5 so he obviously had a problem with the car this run. |
Nice pass. You 7AT guys got it made.

Hey Guys looking at taking the Z to the Drag strip for the first time and need your feedback...
My cars current setup is FI CBE, 25R Oil Cooler, AFE Drop-ins with Smooth Tube Intakes - Berk HFC (on the way) - 7at. My question is I have my original 18x8" - 18X9" wheels and a nice lightweight set of 19x9" - 19x10.5" which actually weight the same as the 18" set. Which set is better for the Strip? Thanks :tiphat: |
If they both weigh the same and their heights are equal, then go with the set that has better tires.

Also, Ive noticed when I pull up to the tree on the drag strip, with the 7AT, you can mash the brake and accel to about 2500-3k without wheel spin and you will get a nice little launch. Try with traction on and off for varied times. I lowered my time by about .2-.4 seconds by this method. Good luck! |

Not sure exactly, it could help with wheel spin or it could be a tad bit heavier and make times a little slower (if your cars stock).
325s on the 19s are kind of unnecessary if you aren't supercharged or turbo'd, but my friend has plans to turbo his. My best time was a 13.28 with new 275s in the rear & thats almost completely stock in the summer, 98-105 degrees with oil temp at 220-230. I still had wheel spin issues in first gear, and into second If you are in the right region, temps are good, tracks prepared, theres no reason why you couldn't do better with a little bit bigger tires! |
Quote:
I've noticed that temps in the 90s really seem to suck the torque out of the Z (more so than I expected). Now that it is cooling off in the mid Atlantic, I've also noticed lots more wheel spin in first and second with morning temps in the 50s. Summer tires not happy. |
Size isn't everything. I'd take a 245 drag radial over a 325 any day! Saying go bigger when you don't know the tires is nonsense.

I was simply assuming that he was running street tires. I rarely met people that run a completely stock car but buys drag radials to do his/her first Drag strip run in.. |

I thought you had to remove the brake fuse otherwise the engine computer would reduce power if it saw the gas and brake pedals pushed at the same time. Was that only on the 350Z or is it the same on the 370Z? |
Quote:
Mine certainly didn't reduce power though. |
