300ZX Twin Turbo 10.1@147 mph - Z32

[switchblade1291]

holy shit no one cross the street with those cars coming.

[dinomagic]

Hot I havent seen to many Z's running great times like this. Way back in the 90s I had a pearl white twin turbo an awesome car too.

[zfan93]

Someone here might be able to help me. My 300 is running a 12.8 with launching at an idle with a built auto trans. Im about to get some mickey thompsons for it. Any clue what it would run if i could launch?

[eeeen321]

oh my god.... that is so killer... 147! this Z is NUTS!!

[tyndago]

@eeeen321 147, though the auto trans, is really fast.

[21min56secs]

faster than a Veryron for 1/100000 of the price, 1/3 the motor, and half the turbos

[eeeen321]

@21min56secs Quicker? or Faster? A strange comparison either way, the Veyron and its owners more than likely view the 1/4m as a trivial figure; nothing at all against this Z, I think its a crazy Z.

A "base" Veyron traps around 148mph (R&T goofed), the SS is said to trap over 155mph and et high 9's; but the Veyron does INSANE things at 150++mph. Yes I know how much they cost, but you are comparing a car thats was set up for drag racing to a car that was purpose built as a high-tech uber GT.

[mxkid49]

holyyyyy shitttttttttttt

[captain31893]

holy shit!! can i have like some of the mods that this car has??

[IsThatJJ]

i NEED to see this Z the next time he comes out to fontana!

[z31man]

Why when I floor my 90 TT, the back end kicks out under boost when driving straight, yet this TTz stays straight?

[tyndago]

Lack of traction in your car.  The spinning tires, are what causes the rear end to swing.

[z31man]

I have 265 45 r18s and Y rated. How much more traction can i get?

[tyndago]

Lots more than you have. 265 is small. 18 inch has a low sidewall. Y rated is a street tire. The car in the video is on a Mickey Thompson drag radial. Its an auto car and doesn't shock the driveline.

Its all about traction. The spinning of the tires causes the rear end to walk around. If you don't spin the tires, the car won't walk.

[ilovetotones1]

yea my 91 2+2 n/a used to kick hard and it had minor mods, injectors, headers, exhaust, clutch and flywheel

[n9trojan]

me to

[Jonathanowns]

@z31man Throttle control?

[suprakilla2JZ]

@z31man yeah get drag radials. :D

[Z32spdstr]

@z31man tranction no traction you'll fish tail in this case nice pavement and nice tires and nice launch.

[MrRayman217]

@z31man yeah 300zx back ends wanna kick out i know what you mean im buying my frist 300zx tt this monday and the owner was telling me you gotta be careful with these cars plus the 4 wheel steering has somthing to do with it but wider tires should stop it from kicking out too much =]

[MomImHungry]

OH shit!

[andrew190e]

just bought an na 5 speed love it need an o2 sensor any hints?

[tyndago]

Buy another car ? Just kidding. They are pretty simple the 02 sensors, just not that cheap. The early stuff is 2 wire NTK sensors. Its not anything that difficult or complicated, but I would have to look at a Z as I really dont work on them much.

[xATxCody]

piece of cake. connector is in engine back and O2 sensor is underneath. self explanatory

[andrew190e]

@andrew190e is it driver or passenger drivers harder you can just see it on the header under the dash very hard to replace but you can find the sensor on ebay for about 40 bucks they work fine just did mine got like 4 mpg better

[dougyt26]

grate to see a z kick ass

[rsr530]

goddam thats fucken fast

[BHTX84]

Buying a '90 model 300ZX Twin Turbo back in 2005 was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made. Unless you can work on it yourself and have shitloads of money to keep throwing at it, don't buy one.

[DVcustomZ]

Actually the key to a 300zx is planning what you do not just jumping in eyes closed for the money it takes to get a Z fairly quick (ie 12 sec car) takes alot less than buying a 12sec car. Not to mention it looks sexier to me than alot of the production cars that are currently made IMO. What other car can you get 410rwp with maintenance and a tune Bone stock. Ive got 10.5k total in mine including purchase of the car roughly 490whp will at Z nationals next month

[BHTX84]

Yeah, works out for some people I guess, altho I don't see how. I just got screwed over badly, in every way possible along the way. Finally had to pull the plug and give up. The car has been sitting in the same spot for like 3 years. I poured shitloads into it and have 3500 lbs of worthless metal. :(

[JPZ32]

hey you fuckin nit wits why can't you just appreciate a fast import when you see one . don't comment if you don't know what your talking about who cares if it's an import if gm made better fuckin cars then why are they going outta bizness. it's called bail out so bail the fuck outta here dummies.

[tyndago]

Yes. Exactly. A 10.1 car is a 10.1 car. Thats fast, no matter what the badge.

[THUSxFAR]

fuck turners

but superas

skylines eclipes

and theses are cool even if they r owned by a wetbck or a unbegangster asian or white boy

[tyndago]

Whats a turner ? Like Tina Turner ?

[thacrunkmasta69]

Is the other car a sr20'd 510? Both cars are rediculously fast and awesome!

[tyndago]

Its Ryan Carwins Toyota Corolla. Not sure what engine he is running in it, but hes been running the same car for years. I think all kinds of engine setups. Its a solid low 11 second, high 10 second car.

[ager1]

wat are those crazy red necks doing getting a old car to try and race a Z serously smarten up there no comparing to a Z unless its lambo or ferrari

[NismoTime]

That "old" car was pretty fast actually, you should "smarten" up and use proper spelling and grammar.

[ager1]

listen man its youtube not English class

[IROCthing]

first off genius, it lost cause it was a ford. Secondly buddy ferrari's and Lambo's don't even compare to the stock abiilties of the Corvete ZR-1, which is an American car. Currently the envy of every car company out, because we made it. know your place.

[letmytechspit]

exactly son...my favorite car and series of cars ever

[drumbeat1234]

ford gt owns zr-1 easy.

[rico91stang]

@IROCthing You are aware that Zr1s do not handle well and are more than a handful on a race track. The car is VERY sloppy.

[letmytechspit]

r u fucking dumb?

[ager1]

u r 4 sure

[letmytechspit]

obviously you wouldnt be able to hold your own in a discussion...especially since your fucking dumb and talk out your ass and arent even close

[ager1]

Shut up u cowboy

[letmytechspit]

dont me mad at american muscle

[nick0903m]

looks like your muscle car just got owned..

[MKIIIBoy]

You do understand the concept of power to weight ratios right. Most Late 60's Early 70's Japanese cars are really light. We'll use the 240Z's(First Z car) weight is under 2300 pounds now compare that to a 300ZX(Z32) that weighs a little over 3300. Then take into consideration that just about anything you want can be fit into a 240Z from an LSX motor to SR20's and RB's. Now think what a 500hp civic will do, now imagine that with RWD(AKA more traction) and a lot more torque.

[villagepunk]

ager1- Everything you said was dumb. That old car was obviously restored with new engine/parts making it comparable to the newer turbo'd Z. Lambo and ferrari's can NOT run 10's stock. FYI only douche bags drag those over-priced imports.

[ager1]

u calling me a homo

[jasonsvw]

Why do rice fans always talk shit about euro cars? Yeah you can make Japanese cars fast, but by the time your civic is running 11 seconds you dont even really have a civic anymore except for the body shell.. And for the money it would cost you could get a vette and run 11s all day long, stock, with no worries about your turbos blowing up your motor. Ferraris and Lambos can do 11s all day too, and what sounds nicer.. Ferrari, Lamborghini ... Nissan? You know youd race it too if you had one ;)

[x0NISSAN0x]

dude u hav no fucking idea of what your talking about, i can go buy a 2 to 5 grand honda and drop a k20a wit a 2 grand turbo and woop vette's all day for all under 15 grand........

[jasonsvw]

And it wouldnt last a month before you broke something, either in the engine, transmission, axles, etc. In the end you still can only sell it for maaaybe 8000.

Cheap car + turbo = big problems

I dont think im the one here with no idea lol

[x0NISSAN0x]

omg i hate it when ppl in this world dont kno shit bout wht there talkin bout, cheap car + turbo = big problems get real dude tht's why its a fucking different engine dumbass the car is the chassis dip shit the engine is inside da car hint hint , lol

[jasonsvw]

Its still a cheap car and will have problems. Maybe the engine would be reliable, but can you also buy a new transmission, axles, suspension etc for that price? no, and things would break. It isnt like a video game where you can take a stock motor and slap a turbo on it and run it for years with no worries, welcome to the real world

[x0NISSAN0x]

i see where you get ur info from , dat piece of shit bug you have ...as ur pic

[jasonsvw]

You cant thnk of anything smart to say as a comeback so you turn to insulting my car.. wow hahah.

And "dat piece of shit bug" probably has more money in the engine than your car is worth. I love racing you little nissan and honda guys who think bugs cant run.

[DVcustomZ]

Bugs are girls cars

[jasonsvw]

The only people who say bugs are just "slow girl cars" dont know much about cars at all. Just because you know about Hondas doesnt make you an expert on everyone elses car.

I bought it for $400, spent a total of about 10k on it, thats fully built motor, full interior, sound, suspension, everything its not even stripped out for weight and I havnt found a Honda that can keep up yet. Plus it sounds 100 times better than any Honda 4 banger out there

[DVcustomZ]

actually, I didnt say it was slow you can make anything fast hell you can make a geo metro fast but so what. I applaud being different but at the end of the day the BEETLE is not a masculine car. I have a total of 10,500 in my Z including the cost of the car approx 500whp @3300lbs.

[jasonsvw]

I guess I just don't feel the need to have a car that other people judge to be "manly enough".. I wouldn't say Civics, Sentras, or any of the other dozens of econobox-turned-street racer cars are any more 'masculine' than a Beetle.

Thats pretty good power for the money you got there, right now I have maybe 115whp with an old 1.6, but I'm currently building a 2400cc that will have around 230whp. Car weighs only 1800-1900lbs rwd I cant wait haha

[DVcustomZ]

R you going to boost it, or all motor

[jasonsvw]

It would be all motor, at least for now. I wouldn't use any kind of forced induction unless I had a backup car, simply because i have to commute an hour and a half round trip 5 days a week for uni. Maybe someday haha

[DVcustomZ]

Lower the compression and boost it. It will be just as reliable and you'll get better gas mileage out of boost. My 300zx was NA when I got it 10.5:1 compression when I converted it to twin 8.5:1 compression is just as reliable and better avg gas mileage. You generally are not in boost most of the time

[DVcustomZ]

The K20 isnt cheap cheap motor I boosted a K20 in a 07 civic si was professionally tuned. I would line him up against a c5 anyday at 12psi 332whp in a 2600 lb car with top of the line suspension

[FormulaVeeRacer1200]

mate realistically your going to have paid 15 grand for a car that everybody owns and looks at and thinks.. cool another P plater.. why not the vette.. realiable fast car..cost more but your buying reliablility.. I work with a holden VR commodore drag car making 750horses out of a 350.. can run tens but we lauched it at about 3500rpm with slicks.. twisted the chassis.. floor pan came away from the wheel arch and smashed thw windscreen... even with the cage... bugs can be super super fast!!!!!!!!

[x0NISSAN0x]

lets put it this way your looking at it a sterotipical way ok for one i can get into a little fender bender wit a vette more than likely the vette can be totaled from dat the insurance is complettly rediculsious and another thing i can take the ls out of it and put it in another car and still make it faster and cheaper and SAFER den da fucking vette.

[FormulaVeeRacer1200]

i dont quite get where your goin mate? were having accidents now?

[DVcustomZ]

I agree with you I dnt know why so many people jock the corvette like its something awesome its a fiberglass car with a pushrod OOOHHH.

[cozzey05]

or you could get a f-body with the same engine as the vette. I paid 7k for my 99 ws6. for about another 6 I could run 10's all day long and still keep it as my dd. my buddy has a 00 camaro with a 408 stroker pushing 12 psi. well over 1000 hp. ran a 7.49 @ 139 in the 1000ft...little shorter than a 1/4

[james6speed]

no you couldn't

[cozzey05]

h/c/i, 3500 stall, slicks = 10s

[james6speed]

really, let me see

[cozzey05]

search ls1 h/c/i on youtube...good setup is worth 450 rwhp

[tyndago]

This is Specialty Z's car. Not sure what they are running.

[DVcustomZ]

what tires are you running

[SnEEkUPonU]

the z shifts like shit

[zyou8er]

Its a stock 300zx automatic tranny, now its build and the same car is runing low 9s high 8s

[mugee18]

sick i got a z32 and live 5 minutes away from der on jurupa yea Z32power

[Rembetis]

sick z

[whatdumd]

that's one fast Z32!
