aaahhhh my fave part is hearing one of my kids as my car rolls up next to an evo on the big screen "an evo is just as good" thats right boy... u know your stuff Right...im off to bed. See ya on a "CRUISE" next time
Seriously man dnt be hard on yourself at least your out there getting practice. Youve found the troubles with your zed so when you go back out there next time you know 13s will be on the way!
i want 12's If a stock TT on boost is running 13's, I want 12's Also thinking hiflow T28's is not the best setup but i need to look into this. They spool way too late. Anyway...... see what next year brings. Car felt awsome again this morning in the nice cool air with a cold clutch lol. Car is hitting and holding aournd 10psi according to the boost guage (Autoguage) so i dont think i can blaim boost leaks either No smell of coolent which is what my 180sx rewarded my efforts with last year lol (warped head) so yeah, today is a good day Told you i'd perk up So this year ill see if i can afford to start fixing the little cosmitic things like seals etc, while planning the evolution
Hahhah Nice effort boys, now it is proven that Z > Evo :zlove: Nice edit there mate, i see i have some competition for vid now, albeit being a quick edit heheh
Where's my thanks for taking the pics/video steve edit: next time we are using a real video camera, not your phone!
yeah was a quick one. Also i watched the uncompressed version this morning and i hadn't stuffed up the end, so thats something Windows Movie Maker has done when i used it for compression to WMV. Very odd. This is my fave of all my edits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iARtoyeEQCg Still working on the last Zed cruise as i dont want to rush it and i have some website work on in the evenings that I've got to get finished before I can concentrate on my own stuff.
Timeslip? Post up a timeslip or tell us your 60ft and MPH which will help determine where the time is lost. Good stuff getting out there and having a go, gives you something to beat next time you go back.
haha told you your Z was slow.... haha guess you have learnt a few things... dont worry i will be down there on monday night cutting some nice passes me thinks had a bit of fun tweaking the boost controller coming home from work today oh yeh ....
your sig gives me hope And here was i writing my "for sale" thread (no joke... but dont worry.... I just couldn't click the submit button lol) My time slips were as follows 1st run 14.020 seconds terminal speed 152.45 kph RT 1.243 (lol we really didn't realise it had gone green so just floored it haha) 60' 2.138 330' 5.872 660' 9.061 660' speed 124.57kph 1000' 11.735 result WIN my worst time was over 18 coz of mnissing 3rd so i just gave up and cruzed up the 1/4 2nd worst was 14.891 TS 154.40kph RT 0.363 60' 2.592 330' 6.664 660' 9.927 660' speed 122.71kph 1000' 12.635 result WIN (just... damn close that supra... funny story... ok another time) and ill post this one as its my fastest terminal speed 14.889 TS 163.10kph RT 0.215 60' 2.706 330' 6.777 660' 9.959 660' speed 124.11 kph 1000' 12.652 result LOSE Also... tips on launch would be awsome first launch was just "shit its green" 2nd launch was at 4.5K and she bogged BAD 3rd launch was at 5K and she bogged and didn't spin I JUMP off the clutch and dont ride it, but clutch was smelling bad I still maintain bad clutch, coz even trying a "how id launch on the street" launch (thinking thats probably what i did in panic mode first run), it didn't help and all launches just felt shit All help appreciated. HEY HEY HEY.............. Looking at the track temps yesterday 38.6c 41.6c 43.4c 37.8c 37.0c blah blah blah Track temp when i got my 14.980 in the 180sx last year? 20c Explains why even though I was doing shit, I was still handing out the chop too more cars than last year too Feeling better All is forgiven zed
Your first 60' wasn't bad. My fastest of the night was high 2.2s If I had managed a 2.138 I would have cruised into the 13s easy.
1st run 60ft not too bad, did you drop the tyre pressures right down? The terminal speed seems low. Have you had it dynoed? Maybe just a hot night robbing you of some power but usually a stock TT will trap at least 104MPH (168-170kph). You should definately be holding 3rd if your terminal speed is under around the 107MPH mark. I ran plenty of low 13's without going to 4th when I had the stock diff gears. As far as launching goes every car is different, too many variables like clutch type, tyres etc. Really just have to find what works for your car, need to find the sweet spot in the rev range between bogging down and wheelspin. If your clutch is good then a bit of clutch slip on launch will help avoid wheelspin, give it as much power as you can while keeping it just under the point of wheelspin.
PICS OF YOU AT THE DRAGS Hey mate,... thought you may want to know they go pro shots of you at the drags http://www.highoctanephotos.com/index.php?name=drags0708&file=thumbnails&album=53&page=2&sort=na Seems my car was too ugly or something.... none of me at all Actually, given ALL the shots have cars with headlight ON, im guessing they didn't start snapping pics until after i left..... thats what im telling myself anyway
