Did you pull the brake fuse?
i got the 60 fts down to 1.800 do not have the slip but my best run was a 12.32 or 12.34. It will go quicker if you drop the air pressure in the back tire, try 26 to 28 psig. Add some air to the front tires. Best launch is at 1800 rpm. If you have stillen G3 intake. remove the rad cover plate between the top of the front bumper and the rad , under the hood. More air for the filters Best oil temp to race at is 85 to 90 C. Z |

Sent you a couple of PM's regarding your build with the GTM long block... Is that still on the table ??? Haven't gotten mine back from it's 'Winter' upgrade ... still a few more little glitches to iron out...and the Line Lock is the last install... Worked up a way of switching off the Brake Fuse via switched relays and at the same time enabling the Line Lock for the track. Checked to see if there were any other options on the 19" tires available for the 19" sport wheels ... no go on that so far. Been in the shop longer than expected ... But did get the Dyno done - 483 rwhp and a really nice and flat 378 tqe curve ... The car should handle the upped power demands nicely. Along with those tips you gave me I should be in the mid 11's this season...(always the optimist) Many thanks for that ... Hope all is well and you are attacking the track ! Bob |

Already have the rear Camber Arms and camber set to '0' Will double check the toe ... I also have the Quaife LSD ... replaced the Nissan LSD with it. The Quaife is a little different than the OEM which I think is a hydraulic LSD .. ? forgot aaarrrggghhh... The Quaife bites more and with the added HP and seems to want to break loose a little bit quicker but really digs in ... not a big problem tho'. Will fwd your info to the shop, especially the bushings ... have talked it over with them regarding the coilovers previously. Bad roads here in NJ... |

Took my 370 a/t on the strip for the first time yesterday
Stock apart from cat back and k&n's and I lowered the tyre pressures to 28psi (RE050's) Tried a hard launch in manual with t/c off and it span up hard in 1st and 2nd and headed for the wall , came off it and drove down to a 15.1 Second try , in auto with t/c off span hard again 1st and 2nd and ran a 14.0@105 (2.5s 60') Third try , in auto with t/c on and cutting in 1st , 2nd and 3rd , ran another 14 at 95 again 2.5 60 foot. Fourth try , a good dry hop to clear the tyres , traction off but trying to launch just as the trans gives drive again 2.5 60 foot and 14.0 @ 105 Gave up Track was very slick , first RWYB of the year really and the temperature only hit about 50 degrees , just too cold I think Another try later in the year I think |
How to run 1/4 mile, First time
Ouch! Please put a Honda badge on that thing until you get mid 13s.

I got smoked my first time out by a rhd integra because of a crappy launch and tire spin. I also learned that night after I got a rock through my window from a wrx passing me that this platform is for racing with turns not straight lines. |
Lol , just been looking at the 1/4 mile table and apart from the aborted run my terminals were all 105mph , which bodes pretty well once the weather warms up .

What are your goals ? |

105mph - your car runs like it should and it wants to go fast ... Congrats ! Quick 1/4 miles aren't as easy as you'd think :-) but it is both challenging, rewarding, and definitley a learning experience .... |

Before I put 305's and my SC kit on, here's what I did.
At my drag strip i can not go around the wet box, so I did a quick burnout to get the water off my tires. I'd then creep forward to the prestage area, then when set, I'd hold down the brake and rev to around 1.5 to 1.7k RPM. I found that any more and I'd spin off the line. But now that I have all these mods added, it will be a whole new ball game this racing season. |
here's one of my first nights on a 1/4 mile track with my Z.
this run i only had my exhaust on so far at this point. think this was like a 13.2 idk i did like 5 or 6 runs this night. only one filmed. aslo the loud click you hear on the 3rd yellow is my gas pedal lol |
Interesting to see your sister in shorts or perhaps a skirt , its pretty strict here for RWYB's my local track insist on covered legs and arms and you must wear a helmet , they even scrutineer the vehicles before they go on track.
My 1/8th was 9.32@80.65 mph also , best 60ft was 2.44 but most were 2.5 Opening myself to ridicule here but here are my vids taken from my Blackvue, you can see I varied my technique each run but nothing made much difference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2jk5RJC3rw In my defence I spent 15 years drag racing and building bikes , running cars down the strip is not my forte I'm more used to slicks and wheelie bars and 1.2 60ft s |
