Well my best friend finally bought him a 300ZX twin turbo after looking for about a year. I convinced him to race me earlier tonight while we were heading home. His car is a 93 all stock 300ZX and I have a 94 RX-7 with a down pipe and boost controller (set on low/stock boost). We lined up at a red light and as soon as it turned green we got on it. By the end of the intersection I was a car length ahead. When I let off at 100mph I was about 5 car lengths ahead. I was amazed I put so much distance between us. We raced again at the next light and I still but about 3 car lengths between us. My best friend is really the only person I race so I'm glad he lost, it gives me a little cushion on the next upgrades.

he prob. thought he could beat you too... lol my friend pulled the same thing sept. hes gotta 78 starefire GT... and he went on and on about how he'd beat me... so i played along when we finally got the chance... he didn't wanna go but he went and it wasn't even funny how bad i did him in... he pulls likea 4cyl.

Very nice...

you think my FC in a little better condition would do a 300zx?

I don't know, from a roll I had to work to keep up. That thing is a torque beast! I just have a very light car and mine hooks up better off the line. He is going to get an ECU, intake, and exhaust in a few weeks and that is supposed to add 100 hp to his car. I hope I can still beat him after that...

So he's going to stage III. You wouldn't have any problems still at that level with your (RX7) setup. The 300ZXTT should put a little over or less than 300 HP to the wheels, maybe. Also you weigh about 700 lbs less. He'll have to get a boost controller and dial lets say a bar then I say it'll be close .

sweet....i just changed my friends mind recently from getting a 300zx tt to an FD



funny: when on the forum list for sections...under kills, it said "Killed My Best Friend..."..

Nice killing, Atleast your friend knows what your car can do.

lol i hope to have enough mods to beat a stock 300z

theyre not that hard

Ya when he bought it he said that my 7 could take it "for now"... I'm not worried!

Nice kill man.

sweet kill

Nice kill go non-Seq and get 1600's then he will never touch you.

I'm going single pretty soon. Just have to decide on which turbo. He's shooting for 500rwhp. I told him I was shooting for a modest 350-375rwhp myself. I also said that my 350rwhp = his 500rwhp, he didn't like that!

i'm hoping for a good 250 for the time being

Mine will be a slow build to my goal. I'm going to wait on this motor to go before I change out too much stuff. I'm trying to change my interior and do some '99 spec conversions first especially since I'm not worried about him beating me for a while.

or change it out anyway and sell to me and i'll do an FD conversion

MazdaEnthused, what is your setup?



I have an FB and since Im in high school and dont have the money for a turbo :(, im gonna do a half bridge on my 12A with RB exhaust, direct fire, etc. my minimum goal is like 220 at the wheels. that will be quick enough for a 17 year old since it only weighs about 2400 pounds https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

i'm an all stock S4 T2 project car... you'd be able to see if my banner was working but oviously its not... but i hope to just do intake, cat-back and free up some boost PSI hopefully that will give me about 200 then fuel system upgrade. then i've gotta paint job and body work done real soon. probly some 11 or 12 spoke 17inch rims wrapped in goodyear eagle F1s'. then i'm gonna cut out the front grill thing and do a mesh grill. with a universal carbon fiber wing.

sounds cool, are u gonna upgrade the turbo anytime in the near future? i like it all except i dont know if the wing would look right. if you are careful you can fine one that will look nice

nice....... you have braggin rights for now.......





RAISE THE BOOST!!!! as soon as he gets the other mods

yea i def. will get somthin i like as far as the wing goes

please dont!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

but i am ...

Nice kill man. I wonder if I can take a stock 300ZX TT.. all I have actually installed as of now is a M2 intake box and a C's short shifter.

I'd say so. I'm having issues with my second turbo kicking in and I still beat him.

Ok, cool. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

From a roll it might be a different story. We haven't really lined them up on a ~20mph roll yet but I think it will be a lot closer. So far I've had to really get on it to keep up when I see him get on it.

Well, just imagine.. he's probably also slamming the gas pedal down to try and catch you.. so, it may just all equal out.

good kill. dont worry about his mods. Its still a v6 against a little ol 1.3. Tell him to pick on somebody his own size. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
