well you can at least use it as a test mule for the clutched pulley

 

Most deffinatly. But im thinking a 2 speed electronic control, kind like a noss button except its either or.

 

Have the button light up crazy fast then swap to rediculas fast.

 

Sweet! Time to chage your avatar picture.

 

Yeh, well let me take one in the morning.

 

Riiiiiiiiggghhhhhhhttttttt!!!!! sure that is all you are going to do..

beers

 

Ok, you got me on that Swoop. Im sure theres more to come, gotta catch up with the rest of the guys first, rember the last time I had an 8 to drive it was pre flash gen. and a 4 port. The 1 thing that ive got going is I have alot more room for blower RPM before redline. As for the bigger blower, I think I have a special app for that, can you say 20 cough cough in the yellow 8midinger.

 

What is the gas mileage like on the highway??

 

Today I ran my first AutoX since my whp upgrade and new set of TOYO Proxes R1R tires. The course was very tight, lots of 90 degree turns and narrow. I did not kill any cones but I did sideswiped a few (see pictures of side skirt marks). The car ran flawlessly but I need to get used to my new tires. I’m amazed with the extra power and the better handling. There were two 350Z (one of them a Nismo). I think you’ll find them on eBay later tonight.

Here are the videos. Noticed that I had a little problem shifting into second gear on the second video but I guess sh*t happens.

Bottom Line

Reliable, dependable and fun drive either on the road, autocross or at the drag strip.

Life is extremely good.

It was a high of 22F today...

 

Dont know yet, only 150 miles on it sofar.

Thats awsome Jaun, I like when you hit that strait, your moving pretty dam fast. Give me a few months to dail my car in and ill meet up with you guys.

 

Wow, tight course. Looks like you had much better traction this time.

350Z... meh

We both outran a couple 350Zs (one of them had like 400+ whp) at the last autocross, and you had 30-40 less ponies and bargain bin crappy tires back then.

Nice vids.

 

Have you applyed for your Florida snowbird permit, if not your pretty screwed on comming down cause I hear the line is very long, LOL.

 

guys --i HAVE to get yall on track with us. Have yall been on track with the 8 yet?

OD

 

ohh yeah BTW I'll be down thereDaytona Rolex24, plan on renting a car to go down to Pettit) this thursday or friday not next week,,,
would like it if a couple of you would show up for a mini meet especially Juan with the new pulley would live to feel the difference...
Would greatly appreciate guys.....

 

Sounds like fun, but the timing kind of sucks for me. PM.

 

I really hope this car dosnt have a speed cut off. I was crusin at 90 in 6th at 3k. So if its dosnt have a cuttoff thats 180 at 6k with enough power and im not making any claims yet but that adds another 30MPH to that before redline. OMG The gearing is rite but I think you need atleast 500 hp to get to 200MPH from what ive herd.

 

this is silly funny.

you will confirm that a mph cutoff exists on the autos. at my guess is 125?




beers

 

yeh, i had it on the 4 speed but I also had DSC on that. Im pretty sure that theres maybe anti lock brakes but as for traction control it dosnt have that, i just cut lose in my local parking lot that I run my Kart at. I was aculy 4 wheel drifting dicking around and you cant do that with any traction control on. Im gona wait till after break in (keeping it under 5 k for the next 300 miles then 6 till 1000 after that) to see if its governed, if it is BILL, can you flash that out for me, lol.. Im not trying to put much load on the drive train either, I was G drifting to feel out the car and getting a good rear slide out of the corners, I cant wait to feel 300 WHP.

 

I can flash out the speed cut Just ask Brettus or Dave in NZ.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

ah,,

conformation..and good job! brettus ftw..

silly..

beers

 

Hymee, I'm still waiting on that........

 

Yeah - I just need to send you a new PCS file with it defined. <end of thread-jack, but Cam would approve of this )

 

Or, you could send me new ptc & pcs files with all the parameters (including the speed limit) required for a supercharged renny

 

the supercharged 6 speed hits 150mph with ease without even getting to 8000 rpm! (on test track)

Prior to supercharging, if I remember, my car used to 'slow down' in acceleration at around 135, and then crawl slowly faster 1mph at a time.
