ok, bithlo sunday funday is tomorrow. i will be there around 12 noon, maybe a bit before.


i didnt want to fully push my car at 10pm on a friday night an hour away from my house so i am going to try to do it tomorrow.

i cant wait!!

see you all out there. track is supposed to be open from 10-5 tomorrow...

i need a couple more runs in to figure these tires out!!

 

ok guys, i will be out there earlier now, screw work!!! probably get there around 10. hopefully some of you will make it out there if you can...

 

Hey how did you do??? I wish i had known i would be there

well... went to the track pretty much for the first time since i got the whole new setup on slicks where i had some time to make a pass or two. there was a couple bad wrecks out there and a couple people blew their motors up. i got there at 1030 am and didnt make my first pass till 230pm. this was during the day in florida with 80 degree weather, we dont get cold days in Nov .... first pass today on my brand new 28 inch slicks. it was ok, i had soo many things to do when i got there that i forgot to pull out the stupid brake fuse. i went to do a burnout and it killed the power to the motor. stupid nissan

11.2 at 127.5 this sucks cause the car is much much faster, when i get into the mid-top of 4th gear, the revs build up way too fast and then when i shift into 5th , i hit the rev limiter immediately. clutch is FRIED!!! but only at a lot of boost in the upper gears. 5th gear didnt even go any where. after doing some gear calculations, 4th gear goes around 128 with my 28 inch slicks that measured 27.2 inches tall on the car. so when i shifted into 5th about 200 feet short of the finish, it just slipped right to the rev limiter.

here are some pics, i am going to try to go there and launch harder, i am still on stock axles. i think i might go next week and try some 6000 launches and push it a little harder. the clutch holds in the lower gears for some reason. both runs were lauched between 4000-5000 and riding the clutch just a bit, didnt want to dead hook and snap my axles.

anyways, i am happy with the car, it pulls like CRAZY in gear, it was pulling 30 mph on friday night with the one run i got it, that was at 15.5 psi and the clutch holding. todays runs peaked at 17 psi but fried the clutch. cant wait to put the new tranny in!!!! these runs were pulling close to 28 but still pretty good...

 

Jesus thats fast! I'm still waiting for you to get down into the 10's though!

 

me too!! if i had a better clutch, well, that would be easy. a good clutch for our cars costs over 2500 dollars, thats why i have chosen to put a TH400 in here and be done with it...


that was at 17 psi with a slipping clutch, imagine 24 psi, a transbrake, turbo 400 and 150 shot of nitrous.... i cant wait!!

 

Nice, Jeremy.

I was talking with Ross (mercedes benz of orlando) about you and your car just the other day. Good to see your car's back in action.

Why did you trade up the tanabe for the greddy? Did it make that much of a difference?

 

looking good. i just want a ride 1 day heh.

 

yeah the greddy flows ten times as well...


the car hauls *** for sure!!! i will hit some tens here soon!!

 

Wow...seriously good times and very nice trap speed...

 

thanks man, cant wait to get the stock tranny out of the way..

 

Jeremy...just launch at 6k rpms... you know you want to!
