My friend who has a G35 and i went to the denton dragway on friday. I wanted to get some times so after i finish the manual swap i can see the improvement. The track is 1/8 mile so i couldnt even get out of second gear
The times really suck so be prepared to get a good laugh
Im number 12, right lane...


Best run of the night.....but it still sucks
Right lane...

The pic sucks i know but it says 10.7182 et, .7530 reaction time, 69.23 mph.

Just about every car there was a muscle car with a drag radials and a huge blower stickin out of the hood so the only race i won all night was against a new sentra SER Spec V. I had fun though, the night was awesome

 

you'll get em next time...hey those spec v's are torquey! nice win!

 

What did that G35 run? I raced one a few days ago and stayed right with him...

 

His G35 ran 9.46
His is an auto too, so its a little slower. I know that you guys cant tell the future or anything, but when i get a 4th gen tranny, 8lb flywheel and a stage one clutch, how much faster will the car be on the 1/8?
Any ideas?

 

prob 1/2 second faster..

 

what are some of the times all of you run in the 1/8?

 

i believe under 10 is normal check the 1/4 thread?

 

that 1/8 time equals to about a 16.7 in the 1/4. u should at least be entering 3rd by the time the 1/8 is over. work on your launching. what rpm r u trying to launch on?

 

damn 16.7? thats pretty slow...what are your modz?

 

hehe, i live in arlington stalyon...we should run em some time, eh?

we should man, im over at TCU. By the way i went to Alamo Autosports and they said they would charge me $2,000 for the labor on my swap! I called Jo-Tech and they said it would be about 1000. I cant seem to get a hold of wasabi though, the number on the web site doesnt work

I have no mods at the moment, and its an auto so the car launches like a snail...

 

so its stock? thats not bad for stock auto then...should be average...i seen base model 5 speeds run 17.5's with cold airs, and cat back at english town which is a pretty good track...i guess they couldnt drive...i was sooo disapointed.

 

17.5 with a 5speed?! It not only sounds like they couldnt drive well, but it sounds like they couldnt even drive a stick

 

Well, the 8lb flywheel is going to hurt your times a little bit. It makes the car more difficult to launch than it already is. It helps acceleration, but getting out of the hole is either a spin or bog thing.

i think i saw that lude at etown too, I was like omg thats **** slow

 

stalyon, go to jo-tech.

one of the best places in the metroplex, as well as the nation.

 

My best in the 1/8th is 7.87 @95mph

That's with slicks running 20lbs of boost.

 

my best on a 75 shot was 9.2

probably and for sure are two different things. Unless you have driven an auto vs. a manual there is no for people to really tell a difference. At least a whole second, maybe more. My 4th gen is faster than it was with automatic w/ spray. I ran 15.3 w/ the auto and hung with a guy on the way back from the track when i finished the five speed swap( he had just run 15.1). OHHH and btw,ItalyonStylion let me know if you have any questions regarding the swap. FYI, it's a real pain in the ***

 

he asked what i thought...he didnt ask what he would run for sure...just an opinion....i didnt say he was gonna run 1/2 sec faster for sure....but its possible..

btw you should be well in the 14's with a 75 shot..

 

thanks, ill let you know if i have any questions

 

italynstylion the new times with a manual tranny will depend on ur driving if ur a skill driver ull get good times but if u suk driving ur gonna get bad times.

 

8.8 but that is with drag slicks and in a del sol, m2b4 tranny, 8lb flywheel, act clutch and pp. Skunk2 coilovers
