This is my personal time to beat. 11.82

 

The NT01's are great road course tires but need some cycles to become a drag slick (unless you shave them). They'll get better with more use for me.

I've heard the NT01's are almost the same as the R888 but beat them out with give on road courses.

 

11.8, nice slip! Was that the same pull vs. that Acura? If so, WTF @17.34

Here's a decent read, seems like the Nitto NT05R are the hot ticket for the 1/4 mile

Yeah, I actually talked to Jim after he has his engine trouble and was parting out his car. I was looking to buy his tranny from him, but unfortunately logistically it just didn't work out with him having to ship it across the country.


Did Jim ever break into the 10's? To my knowledge his best run was in the low 11's and there's a couple of G's out there that have run high 10's.

 

No legit "road racing" in my area. Just a 1/8 mile. That 11.8 is a darn good respectable number. I hope to be near there in the future.

 

I feel ya. Zero road racing in my area. Ill settle for just getting some track time (sometime) and whatever the car runs once all the bolt ons get tied together by the Ecuteck.

 

Thanks blnewt! I'll be looking into those when I burn through my Michelin PSS. Nitto makes some good rubber for the road!

I'm not sure if he broke into the 10's, I haven't seen any G's to break 10's yet (let me know if you find a link it'll set my new goal)

Thanks! 11.8 is a solid start, hoping to do better after the engine build.

 

11.8 is a VERY good start! And props to you for doing it while keeping your car fully streetable. I used to import drag race and SCCA DSM's back in the early/mid '90 for years and although it was street legal, my Eclipse GSX was far from streetable. Incidentally, your 11.8 would have been a very respectable time back then. Ultimately my goal for my G is to break into the 11's while maintaining full streetability/drivability and almost stock (at least sounding) exhaust.


Looks like there's at least one G over on G35Driver, Carlitos, that's run a 10.97 and another that's run an 11.0 flat. Here's a link to the best 1/4 mile page over there: ...Top 25 1/4 Mile Times... - G35Driver

 

Thanks! Car is still a daily but that may change after the engine build. I've been trying to maintain a sleeper build and so far so good. I haven't even looked at the G35's yet. I know they have had a little more time to play with the platform. Right now I'm chasing after Jim, when I get that I'll go after the 35's for fastest Infiniti around. We'll see though, I have some good competition that I know of and I'll be finishing my build in the next year (promised my wife).

 

I'll be content with 12s... high 11s... only number in chasing is 500+ hp 400+ tq on 93 pump. Currently doing research on gauges and how folks with the g37 platform placed theirs and which gauges selected. Speaking of that, in gonna go through your thread again.

 

Not trying to thread-jack Mike's thread, but my pick would be for an HKS Camp 2 playing through the stock Navi screen!

 

Oh, and those are some great goals/targets and we all hope you reach them!

 

All I have currently is a AEM Tru-Boost, controller and boost gauge. I want to add more but keep the set-up sleek. The HKS camp system is great but they stopped producing it a while back and it is very hard to find at a decent price. I know that Carbon Signal has started to produce an integrated monitoring system but need more info on it. I need something that will tap into ours without the navigation (as I don't have nav)

 

I'm content with the innovate dual gauges (afr + boost controller) ( oil pressure + temp) ... think im set on those.


sorry for jacking your thread.

 

I have a wideband afr sitting around that I need to install and pretty sure I have an oil pressure too. I just have to find a nice place to install them (I like keeping somewhat of a sleeper look)
