Last night I got a run with a 350z.

[Dallas J]

The silver 350z with the upgrade package that has the LSD, HIDs, and some other goodies was the one that I got to run. He has the resonator removed, which he regrets, and a grounding kit.

We talked for a while and thought that we would be a good race so we decided to take it out and run em' from light and from a roll once each.

First was the light, we barely got to the light as the other one was turning yellow so not much staging time. But it really didnt matter cause i left the line with a quickness, and he just spun. He said he hadnt figured out how to launch yet.

Next from a 15mph roll. We got side by side and he gave it the ol' 3 honk countdown. On 3 his instant torque let him pull about a car ahead till my turbo finally decided it would be a good time to spool. At the top of each gear I would gain about a foot back, but we were pretty much the same acceleration all the way up to 115 where we decided to brake cause a red light was coming up fast. I hit the brakes and got that horrable feeling of brake fade...Good thing the light changed.

I was really suprised that he didnt pull away in 3rd. I really think that if we were to try and take it to a higher speed, say 140, then he would have soon started to pull on me real soon.

But it was my first race in a while cause i dont race much, and thats only when i really wanna test my car.

good kill:D

[V8SpankR]

I kinda wanted to race one but I have over a second and a half on 'em in the 1/4 so it would be a butt kickin'.
I wish I would have pushed for a run against Domino but I just never got around to asking.

[exciv2000]

nice kill!

What Ever happen to the Green Domino Race last night

[Dallas J]

I dont know if there was race with Green Domino... I didnt see him leave while I was there..


I know that in the 1/4 im faster than a 350z cause ill have them at the line. But I was just impressed to find out that he wont be catching up after the line either.

Dallas: were you at the Luncheon at the Brick Yard, with the red DSM with the cage and the exterior manual battery shut-off switch? If that wasn't you, who the fuck was that, because I don't remember.

Thats Dave Landry. He comes on here everyonce in a while. He also runs RMDSM. I had the white 95 Talon right next to it.

Oh, my bad. I was thinking "I thought he ran like twelves, and a new 350Z is hanging with him, WTF?" Thanks for clearing that up.

[TheJackal]

dallas, what mods do you have? i am pretty sure i can pull on them but i am not sure, anybody got specs that they can post, i dunno where to go for legit specs.


Austin

[lnferno]

Yeah, good run Dallas. Next time we'll have to find a spot where there isn't any sand from the snow! ;UgH:

You definitely took me off the line, but from a roll, I still gotcha ;)

Can't wait until my exhuast arrives ;)

But with all of that said, mad props to you and your car!

Next time, let's see who can get to 155 first :)

http://ps.usa.net/~dgiadone/350speedo.jpg

[Dallas J]

Holy shit dude, if Ill probably never hit 155, unless i trap that ;) .

We gotta run em' again when you get your exhaust. I wanna see the difference from a roll that it makes. Then ill throw the new fuel pump in, take out the sub/spare(85-90lbs) and turn the boost up to about 1.2bar. We'll see how that goes from a roll:D .

Pretty much all i have for go fast mods are...

-B16g P/C
-RRE lower/upper IC piping.
-Injen intake w/ K&N
-Thermal Catback
-JoeP MBC
-B&M short throw for some quicker shifting

I have a bunch of other stuff, but most of those are go slow mods:( .

My car with me and 1/2 tank of gas weighs right around 3500lbs.

Definitely would like to run again, but as for last night, just for the record we both ended up 1-1 (off the line -vs- roll) :)

[V8SpankR]

350Z will probably run a 15.1 stock,maybe a high 14 with a really good 60' at Bandi.
I'd kill one from a stop and a roll...well at least till 140ish maybe. ;)

[Dallas J]

Paul, Im sure you would waste one from both stop and go since you can waste me from both, yes, stop and go.:D .

Dante, Let me know when you get the launch down. We'll find a good place with little sand so we can see how that goes. We might have to wait till summer when the grounds a little warmer so you can get some weight transfer onto those driving wheels.

Sounds good -- and give me a break guys -- I haven't even had this car for a month!! Sheesh! :)

[V8SpankR]

I do think the 350 is a sweet car no matter how much faster I am than one but around a road course I'd get my butt killed.

[Dallas J]

I totally agree. That car would kill me in some corners. I sat in it yesterday and the interior is really cool too. The dash has 3 guages that sit facing directly at you. The glove box is behind you. All in all it has a real nice cockpit feel inside.

I've seen a guy in NJ (at sea level) get a 13.8 in the 1/4. At this altitude, I would guess that I would be running mid 14s.

Not N/A they wont. High 14s with an excellent driver/60 ft. time.

[Violator]

Nice kills. Inferno have you seen the Greddy Twin turbo kit for your 350z?

[Dallas J]

I talked to him earlier and he was thinking about the stillen TT kit for it. The reason is cause Nissan would warranty it. I got a little trick up my sleeve...actually its on my floor...that im thinking of installing then giving him another run. But i'll see if I feel like putting it in tomarrow.

-Dallas J

[V8SpankR]

NA cars generally run a second or more slower up than at sea level with turbo cars losing about 8-9 tenths of a second.

Yes -- nice!! After I get my stillen exhaust on, that will probably be my last mod until next year. Gotta start saving up for the TT!!

Actually, it was Nismo that Nissan would go through for the factory warranty for the TT. Stillen is who I am getting my exhaust from :)

So what all do you have done? Let me just say that if you think an exhaust alone is going to give you 25 WHP, think again.

[V8SpankR]

I've heard that the stock exhaust on the 350Z is pretty good and an aftermarket will probably net about 9-13whp.

[Dallas J]

Stillen claims to give about 13 crank HP with their exhaust.

[WagN2NR]

Nice runs! god knows what id do to take a twined z out on a nice big track...

Damn man, you gotta just assume hes some sort of ricer that adds stickers as mods or something? Its post/attacks like this that give people a bad taste for some boards.

[exciv2000]

I was just stating a well known fact. I don't want to see some 350Z's turn into ricers, ya know. Not saying that he would, but people have done worse things to their cars.

The reason why I am going with Stillen is because they have a well established reputation for their lower and warmer tone -- definitely not anything even remotely close to rice for those of you that do not know anything about the Stillen SS Exhaust.

Well, I am pleased to report that I DID run a 14.5 NATURALLY ASPRIRATED today at PMI. Also, congrats to Dallas -- he hit 13.5. I guess the $3,000 in mods helped him :)

[V8SpankR]

What is the elevation of PMI? Under 5000ft or 5200ft?

Hit a mid 14 at Bandi is what Scott meant since the elevation,even if it's only around 1000ft will make a difference.

[Dallas J]

PMI is a lower elevation than pmi. The sign i saw leaving town said something like 4600 or 4800ft.

-Dallas J

[ryanman]

The track is 4800 ft. It's on their website.

[V8SpankR]

1000ft is a big difference. Down there I might have hit a 12.9999999 last year but I'll just have to get my 12 at Bandi this year.

The elevation of Pueblo is listed at 4800 feet but the actual eleveation at PMI is 4900 feet elevation. I am sure I could pull pretty much the same time at Bandimere since the launch pad at PMI sucks. Ask anybody that has raced there and they will tell you the same thing, especially given the fact that I had to use my freakin'
e-brake on the launch pad from rolling backwards. Also, the lights on the tree were jacked up. One of the yellow lights were burned out. Definitely a ghetto track lol

[exciv2000]

we shall see at Bandimere who will be screaming "told ya so". :) Paul is right tho, there is a big difference between 1000 feet, or 900 ft. if the signs are correct at both locations. I'm guessing probably a 14.7, 14.8 at bandimere.

By the way, you never quantified your first statement by what track, so dood, accept it, I ran a 14.5. Now that I've run a 14.5, you change your statemen tto say "well, at this track. blah blah blah". It doesn't matter what I run at Bandimere, bottom line is to date, my best time is 14.5. If you meant to say Bandimere, then you should have stated that earlier, not AFTER I already ran my car and posted my time. That is lame.

just out of curiosity, what do you run?

[V8SpankR]

When I talk 1/4 mile times and I'm sure most others on this board do they are referring to your time at Bandi.

I guess if I went to Texas I could run a low 12 but run a high 12 up here I let people know where it was achieved.

Locally (obviously in Denver) most people state their Bandi time since very few run at PMI as opposed to Bandi which also gives a more accurate timeslip than the questionable timing setup at PMI.

[V8SpankR]

Jetta 1.8Ts with few mods seem to all be able to hit close to mid 14s given the driver can launch so mildly modded they can run pretty closely match a stock 350Z.
Bora Turbo ran 14.4s on the stock turbo and street tires.

[shane]

Jesus christ guys, 1000ft elevation does not amount to shit. most cars will trap higher at bandi. quit this fucking pmi vs bandi shit allready. they are both 1/4 mile and BOTH high altitude.

If this site is geared more towards Denver peeps, then that is fine -- I can respect that. I'll take my posts elsewhere if my posts, timeslips, etc. are invalid because I don't live in the Denver area.

[Dallas J]

Hehe, I would rather run at PMI and not in the groves...I actually enjoyed my little stint of wheel spin.. At bandi in the grooves i might have broken something or ran a tenth slower.

Damn, you must be cocky. I wouldn't miss ya if ya did take your posts elsewhere if you're gonna be like that. Yes I did mean bandi all along as paul said, excuse the fuck outta me for having to EXPLAIN it to you, so no, I didn't change my post, that's just your perception of it.

[Brian]

I always run slower at PMI anyway, so either time is valid in my book.

Oh and tyler hit a 14.1 on street tires. 14.00x with slicks :)

Show me your un-edited post where you said Bandimere. By the way, you never answered my question. What do you run in the quarter?

I am not cocky, but I do take issue of you getting your facts messed up. You have been mis-stating quite a few things in this thread.

1) You said "Let me just say that if you think an exhaust alone is going to give you 25 WHP, think again." When did I ever say that? You need to get your facts straight.

2) You also said "I was just stating a well known fact". Once again, I never said the Stillen was going to give me 25 HP, so get your facts straight.

3) You state that I will not run mid 14's. I think that is hilarious how you think know my car better than I do. AFTER I run my 14.5, you then say, well, not at Bandimere which you NEVER mentioned BEFORE I ran my 14.5. Be a man and own up to the fact that I ran 14.5. I don't give a shit what I run at Bandimere. I am not driving 2 hours unless you want to pay for me to run. BUT, if you would like to make a wager, I will be willing to bet you some serious cash that I can run mid 14's at Bandimere (at least a 14.6) if not lower than a 14.5. Are you going to step up?

[exciv2000]

Well take issue all you want, the fact of the matter was I MEANT bandimere the whole time, and was NOT changing my post to suit my argument, as I honestly thought PMI sucks and Bandimere is about the only decent place to race in the state. Didn't I already explain that to you?

What I run has nothing to do with this... this isn't a who's car is faster, who's dick is bigger, who's dad can beat up who's dad thread. Get off it already. Ask me nicely and I might tell you, or there is always the SEARCH button newb.

I already ventured a non-monetary wager of 14.7-14.8 at Bandimere. I'm not saying that isn't decent, that's pretty good. I'd be impressed. If you do better then that, good for you.

Didn't we already solve that 25 HP shit through PMs and throughout this thread? Why do you continue to bring it up? Do you need closure? Or maybe you have some preconceived notion that somebody is trying to prove you wrong? Do you even know the difference between opinion and fact?

[V8SpankR]

Inferno,I assume that you will eventually run at Bandi so the point will be moot anyway.
Bandimere is such a great facility that running there is fun and the staff is professional and all their lights work. ;)

Oh, my bad, I'll try to do a better job of reading your mind next time. You have STILL haven't shown where you stated Bandimere. Why aren't you directly answering my questions? You have painted your self into a corner and now you are squirming like a fish. But, to actually to take sides with your point, if what you say is true, then I should run a BETTER time at Bandi than at PMI despite the difference in altitude. If you would be wise enough to ask me what all I've had done to my car before getting on a board and start telling me what I am going to run, you'd know that what I've done to my car won't hardly all be that impacted by 1000 ft difference in elevation. Getting on a board and telling a person what his/her car is going to run without even knowing what they've had done to the car is just plain ignorant. Let me ask you another question. What is your excuse going to be when I do just as good or better at Bandi?

exciv2000, you are totally missing the point of me asking you what your car runs. It wouldn't matter to me if your car runs 18's or 11's in the quarter. My point is that I know better than to tell someone else what their car will run without knowing jack shit what they've done to their car. THAT IS MY POINT. You have the audacity to tell me what my car will or will not run at Bandi and you have never even seen my car I am willing to bet and I am damned sure you don't know everything that I've modded on my car. Please tell me you have more info to go on that what "magazine x" said.

Yes, I know the difference between opinion and fact. Once an opinion has been proven, it becomes a fact. I am all for people with different opinions, yes, even yours. If we all had the same opinions, this world would be a very boring place. I love a friendly debate which is what this thread originally was until you started making comments like "told ya so", "ricer", and started the name calling. Read this entire thread all of the through again and you'll see that my posts have been information-based and not name calling or slanted. Actually, you'll see a lot of my posts on here have been edited because I have tried to keep my posts "PC". You may not agree, but I've been trying to show you respect despite the lack of information backing up your posts because you are entitled to your opinion.

P.S. That is funny you call me a noob I've been 1/4 racing since 1989 exciv2000. How about you?

Inferno, what do you have done to your 350? I was toying around with the idea of trading my Jetta for one, but it is still to new and I don't want to take it in the ass by trading it in.........If I ever see you around we should run our cars. i ran a 14.7 at Bandimere not know how to drive my car to well.........

[stu]

Well, that wasn't a very nice way to end the conversation.

[lnferno]

exciv2000,

I don't want to end this thread/debate on bad terms. I've read your other posts on this board and you do seem to know your stuff, but I think that you got frustrated when you had it in your mind that I was stock when I really wasn't (which I stated up front). The debate probably should have ended there because at that point you were trying to compare apples to apples when it was really apples to oranges.

I've met a lot of cool people from this board and also from "that other board". I am willing to bet that you are a cool guy to hang out with and talk shop with as well, but we just got off on the wrong foot.

Peace,

Dante

Damn, that would be a tight race. Good times, man!

To answer your question, here is what I've done to my car thus far:

* Custom earthing/grounding kit using 4 gauge cables & gold connectors

* Injen Cold Air Intake

* Stillen true Dual Exhaust

* Advanced timing

* Adjusted the air/fuel mixture to run more lean

* Stillen Mesh Grille (not a performance mod, but I thought I would list it anyway). I didn't buy it for looks. I bought it to protect my air filter a little better. If I didn't have a CAI, I wouldn't have gotten the mesh grille.

A twin turbo kit is definitely in my future. I am not sure which one I will go with (Greddy or Nismo).

Here is a pic of my car that Steve took on Sunday at PMI:

Thats sweet man, everytime I see a 350, I hav to stop and stare. i just love their look. Definitly one of the coolest cars out there. Sounds like I will have to do a turbo upgrade to keep up with you when you get a twin turbo kit......

[lnferno]

Just for the record -- everything I've done to my car has been done in my garage with the exception of the timing and a/f mixture -- had to take it to the shop for that since it requires an eprom and consult device. To give credit where credit is due, my friend James has helped me as well (he is not in this board).

I will be the first to admit that working on cars is not my specialty. Give me a killer socket set and I can do the bolt on crap. I've never owned a vehicle with a turbo before. Maybe Dallas will lend a hand (hint hint) ;)

Maybe you didn't get it but when I said "told ya so", I was half joking. It didn't frustrate me that you're not stock, what frustrated me was that I was basing all of my times off of Bandimere, and I said that twice (albeit after the fact, I admit), but then you tried to catch me in some sort of lie like I just made it up to change it to suit my argument which was totally incorrect, and you did this twice. That's what frustrated me, that's why I said fuck it, I'm not gonna keep shooting the shit anymore.

I'm not saying to take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I do talk a lot of shit on this board occasionally. <--that's an oxymoron if I ever wrote one, "talk a LOT of shit OCCASIONALLY." :) I'll leave it in there for amusement's sake. You are correct that I am a very cool person to hang out with, as many others on here can attest to. I'm not the most outgoing person, and I usually stick to those people I know rather than actively going out and meeting people I don't know, but I've managed to meet lots of people who's company I enjoy. If someone were to come up to me and be friendly and introduce themselves, I'm more than receptive to them, all preconceived notions aside. Half the time I can't even remember the shit I talked to them or they talked to me, and half the time I won't remember their real name later anyways so it doesn't matter. I guess I have more important things to worry about.

Anyways, you have a nice car. I love the outside look of them but don't think I can or ever will get used to the dash... funkyness... That moving gauges stuff annoys me, might be cool for others, but I'm pretty picky when it comes to cars, and that's my opinion. I also still wish they had twin turbos from the factory. As I said before, if you ever make it up to bandi, and you run better than a 14.5 or 14.8, good for you, I hope it makes you happy. I'm sure a lot of people would be pretty impressed, including me.

For my times, the best I've run is a 15.884 in my civic with a SOHC (stock block and head) with SC at 8 PSI, I/H/E/cat, and some other goodies. This year I'm hoping to break into the high 14s with some juice, clutch and lightened flywheel, and drag radials... I may not make it there, but I should be close. I think that's pretty good for a car that should run high 18s to mid 19s bone stock at this altitude, and plus my car nearly looks bone stock.

You'd kill me man. Remember, all I have is a naturally aspirated V6.

but a 14.5 thats quick! those are the times i expect with me not knowin how to drive my car that well yet... actually my car is specs at 13.4 sea level so that would probobly be a good time for me. but unfortunately (??) ill be at bpu tonight, so the race would not be good anymore, but i think stock vs your mods would be an excellent race. a stock z28 runs mid 14's out here and look at what i raced yesterday in my thread. and look at the outcome, i think it would have been close.


either way nice car! id like to snap some pics of it someday, you should roll into longmont tomorrow and well meet up!

I'll race ya' before you get another mod on the Supra since at the moment I might have the edge but I know what Supras are capable of for relatively little money and you might attain it soon.
