Chadwick Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 as the title says im thinking about taking the zed to a 1/4 mile tomorow and was just wondering if anyone had any tips ? like traction control on or off , launch at so many revs ? and maby if anyone could give me an indication of what kind of times i should be hopeing for Quote
Chadwick Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 14.00 dead at 100 mph IIRC not a bad time , any tips on traction contol keep it on or off ? Quote
ARphotographs Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 i'd say off as TC in most cars usually bogs it down. Quote

R35LEE Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Ban Nurrish from this Keep traction off for runs on the strip Quote
Chadwick Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 post some vids and after thoughts will do , only the ones i win in Quote
Vik54 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 it is EXTREMELY windy over here in bonny Fife this morning....at Crail you're basically on the cliff top and the surface is horrendous - there's also likely to be quite a few Scoobies and Evos there testing for Time Attack and the like - my advice mate...know your place and go to enjoy yourself Quote
Chadwick Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 i let the 350z's down today , my zed was running slow as a week in jail , was getting 15s before anyone says , it wasent my driving my reaction times were spot on and wasent missing gears i was getting beat off saxos this is the slowest car i have owned to date but i have heard that adding mods can cause a loss of power with out a map , so tomorow im going to take it to a rolling road then get it mapped and then hopefuly my zed will be quicker than a citroen saxo Quote
Jay Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 eeeek thats not so good mate sorry to hear that. Have u seen ur spotted post? Quote
Chadwick Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 i was speaking to an older skyline gtr owner at that showcase meet and he recons that a map should sort it all out , heres hoping because i dont want a 350z thats slow lol Quote
AlexZ Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Hi mate, in my younger days I have a Saxo VTR, it had a Kent Cam, Ported and Polished Head, Exhaust, Manifold etc etc. It ran 15's all day with my quickest been 15.5....... I know for fact though my Z is way quicker and I wouldnt think twice about a little run from the lights etc..... Quote

I know for fact though my Z is way quicker and I wouldnt think twice about a little run from the lights etc..... yeah mate i had a yellow 106 gti that was running 170bhp and it would rip the ass of my zed any day so would evry other car ive had , 246bhp glanza , integra type R , s2000, 305bhp ibiza cupra , i can safley say at the moment the 350z is by far the slowest car i have ever owned , i am just hopeing that it is because its had mods done and not been mapped , fingers crossed after a map it should be running good Quote
yokomo Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 dont forget the z has significantly reduced throttle in gears 1-3 , dont ask why so far as i now its never been confirmed why. also you wont feel the speed as much in Z vs your previous cars. Quote

Dblock Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 the 350z is pretty slow in a straight line. Its heavy and loses breath up top. Quote
Neilp Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 well from my experience with mines, its really quick. keeps up with most scoobs, my mates got the 2006 type uk scoob and the 2 of us sat side by side and then i gradually pulled away at the top end. mines the uprev with nismo shizzle. 0-60 in sub 6 seconds isnt slow mate.

I know but it the zed isnt fast comapared to most modded cars. Quote
Chadwick Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 but considering most standard zeds get early 14s nad mine with all the mods is getting 15s , ive been told it is because mt ecu hasent been mapped after the mods , im bookd in on the rollers this sat then ill get it mapped Quote
Neilp Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I think that's the beat thing mate? Have u phoned any of the numbers that guy gave you? I think you should get a good power gain if u get 100% throttle remap and tuned for all ur mods. U going to modified live? Quote
MrLizard Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 tc off my best when it was still standard was 13.9 Quote
