well, i have lost to my first "import"..... but it was a badass car nonetheless....

so im sitting at a light on Shelby Dr., and this 96 300ZX had been behind me the whole time, i could hear him running his angled fart can, loud subs, screeching tires every chance he got, so im sitting there, and he gets in the lane next to me, one car back, and he revs a few,im thinkin its not worth his humiliation, so a little while down the road, he ends up next to me again, and i decide to give him a try, rev to him, got my response, and waited, few seconds and we are off,i got a good hole shot, 1st and 2nd shifted almost perfectly, ive got maybe a car on him, then from nowhere, he blows by, just as i get into third, and has about two cars on me when i decide to shut down just a little into fourth, he pulls into the Best Buy parking lot, and i follow, as he gets out, i ask about his car......... his last track run was 11.34 @ 128, stand-alone fuel management, minor mods, cold air intake, little things, but what blew me away, beautifully chromed and polished Jackson supercharger..... so i lost to an 11 second Nissan.... i am ashamded

 

Sounds like a nice car. Good try anyway. Now you have to mod more and catch him!

 

pshh,, he's on low 11's im on high, i gots a little to go, but i need MONEY...... big factor

 

I don't believe this story. No one would EVER switch from the twin turbo set-up to a crappy *** Jackson Racing Supercharger.

The only way I can see this guy as even having a supercharger at all, is if he had the non-turbo V6, in which case, I highly doubt that there is enough aftermarket to get that car into the 11's, seeing as how the turbo guys can barely do it. I rarely see a fast 300ZX.

 

Oh yeah, an 11 second car would put more lengths on you than just two cars if you kept racing for more than through third.

Not being able to edit sucks. I'm going to go research this set-up and car. If this set-up even exists at all, the guy you raced must be famous (or a shop car) because I'm sure that there is only one car like this.

 

Just curious here. Cross fire injeciton on a 383???? Why?? I can't see this combo getting anywhere near a high 11 to be honest with you... I think you'd be lucky to see a high 13. Sorry man, just going from expeirence here...

On a side note... what are Champion Heads????

 

Okay, I just went onto Jacksonracing.com and couldn't even find a supercharger for any Nissan cars at all.

 

i was in a low 12 sec 3000zx TT that thing hauled *** from a roll i couldnt believe it i just slid in the back of the seat like OH ****

 

maybe he means champion spark plugs....LOL

 

No shame in losing to a car like that. Keep your head up.

 

I think we have another member here full of ****. Reminds me of someone who used to claim to have a turbo 350 tpi in their v6 car, which I will not mention. Good loss I guess

 

look, what these guys have in thier cars go directly from their mouths, to what i type, im not sure that it was a Jackson 100%, but that is what i was told, so i come and tell you guys.... besides im not a car pro by any means....

as to my car, the CFI, which i have cleared up with everyone else, is absolute ****, i want a different injection system, or as said in my other post, to get a new/better cam, and install a carb, which by what i was told, will perform better then a TPI, the 383 that is in my 82, was custom built by the man that i bought it from, as to all the contents that are in my Camaro, i dont know what i was thinking when i typed my sig, but obviously, wasnt thinking enough to ever pay attention and change it, but it is a cheap set of GM headers with Champion SPARK PLUGS......:shrug:

 

i also have a hard time witha cfi running high 11s with on a 383. i mean my car is a high 12 low 13sec 383 most the time. i thinking i might drop my to 8.2.1 compression and put a new set of heads on and supercharge it. then i will have a 11sec 383

 

Yeah, CFI isnt that great but I agree that a 11 second car you put lengths on you buy 2nd gear. LOL, unless he was toying with you.

1981, I thought your car was already capable of running high 11's on a good night?

I would keep it naturally aspirated if all possible.

 

was one time on on a cold night at a out of state track after some major wight modds at low altiude and it was a 12.2 not a 11 i just said that because well high 11s sound better then low 12s everything just add up perfectly

ps no more bs from my end.

 

what quarter mile track did YOU run at? and what does the time slip say?

 

I believe that is what the guy told you, I'm just letting you and everyone else know that it's likely wrong.

 

If that aint the pot calling the kettle black.

 

Good race man. I have never heard of an 11 second non-turbo 300ZX, but I wouldn't doubt someone trying to be unique and throwing on a supercharger. We all know that guys tend to lie after races when saying what they have. This guy may have even left out a few things since he won. Nothing you can do about being told BS, I would have just typed what he said like you did. As for your description of the race, I could see him realing you in in 3rd, since it sounds like you would make a lot more power in 1st and 2nd and he has top end to spare. I never heard of a crossfire system that did any good on the high end. Definitely a good race, and I can't wait to build my 383 carb and have some good races too. For now i'll sit back and keep beating Civics and Sentras in the good ol' Blazer.

why formerly ????

 

That was my old username, but I forgot the password so I had to change it. Stupid me

man that sucks

 

i never said that my cfi was worth anything on the high end, i am only able to run the times i do, imo, because of everything else the man used on the 383 when he built it, most of it is high dollar equipment and parts..... so thats the main reason i want a better inj system, but for my part i think i am goingto get a better/new cam and install a carb, but still indecided at Demon or Holley

The track i run at is the Memphis Motor Sports Park.... its been a while since i was there, but the last time i ran a time, my slip was 11.93 @ 126 mph

 

good race, we all lose sometimes...

 

ON a 383 Cross Fire???? Damn dude thats fast for what it is. I havent seen any 383 crossfires ever going that fast. That trap speed signals low 11's high 10's. I have a hard time believing that yours is capable of running that but JMO. With better intake like carb, I would say you will have low 11's or high 10 second car, if it runs what you say it runs. Based on that, I would say that 300zx should only have pulled on you in 3rd like you said, but only pulled couple lengths.

 

Dude, I am not starting a flame wat, BUT, you really shouldnt be making comments like this. All you did was expose another of your lies (11 sec car). You need to sit back and think about the things you type, and not criticize anyone for awhile.

As far as an 11 sec Crossfire Injected car, I have never seen it in my life. I wont say that it isnt possible, because I dont have the knowledge of crossfire injection needed to call BS. However, it does seem highly suspect. If you are running low 11's with crossfire, you should be in high 10's witha carb, and that is a fast car.

Why dont you put it all to rest, and post all the details about your combo, to shut up the naysayers? Just dont post anything about double pumper edelbrocks, and 11.3:1 flattops with awesome 882's. < /sarcasm >

 

these are plans for the future .
my car is a low 13 high 12sec car

dude i have never herd of these.

11:5.:1 11:1 and 11:25:1 they dont make a 11:3:1

yea i do use flat top pistons 9:5:1
and i do have a good set of 882s best they could be seeing how they are not after market heads

 

Here we go again. Now the car is a 13 sec car, when in another thread it was a high 11 car. Thats quite a bit of difference. You know, just the other day, your sig said you had 9.2:1 forged, now its 9.5:1. At one time it was 11.5:1. You must change pistons alot.


It was a joke. Get it? I dont think that I need you to tell me what is made and not, or what is good or not. I probably, just maybe, might have a little bit more know how than you.

A good set of 882's? Talk about an oxymoron.

I am not starting a flame war and this is not your thread, so we will put this argument to bed here. Just dont call BS on other people when you leave a brown trail behind you.

 

yeah what gives your sig with your mods changes more and more everytime i read it and usually its stuff that theres no way you could have changed it in a day or if you would have it would be silly to do .....

like your forged H beam aluminum rods???
now they are forged H beam rods

did they change metals some how..???

oh well i guess its easy to make up an engine in your sig maybe i should do that too :lala:

 

Maybe I should do that, then I wouldnt have to feel bad for having an engine that DOES exist.

 

yeah, alot of the sig has been changed. Everytime we point out something, you change it. Were's the NOS kit? you said you had one and its not in your sig. There is a option to hide sig when you post. LOL

 

is there one that says "delete sig and start new"....?

J/K



ROTFLMAO :lala:

 

you guys said u would quit now quit be4 this gets locked. ok ok good
damn growup im tired of this bull sh i t nagging

he lies so what get over it
jon

 

300zx's are just RWD right? If so, hole shot would go to the 383 when driven right cuz you should have more torque than him. 82crossfire, you running a auto right? Every shift is perfect with those, LOL your sig says 3.5" down pipe, I assume you mean y-pipe? What kind of flowmasters you running? 80 series probly eating some hp if you are capable of 10's with a carb.

 

Yeah, 300ZX's are RWD. The non-turbo ones are dogs and stock turbo ones are no where near untouchable or anything. I would guess that they are on par with an LT1.

 

well n.o.s i dont use anymore only once to get a 12.2 sec run .

9:2:1 was a type-o that i noticed and fixed

 

no he is running a stick from what he said in his other posts on different threads....

 

I never thought I'd say this but listen to jocww.

This entire line of conversation is not necessarily contributing to the board as a whole. His sig was apparantly hurriedly written and he isn't a mechanic. We only have speculation, we don't -know- for a fact anything about anything. If you don't have anything nice to say...
