Nissan_Boy85 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 What can you guys run in the quarter? I'm not sure on mine cause I'm always the slowest one there and don't run. Maybe a group night down at Portland International Raceway? Wow that took a weird turn...oh well. Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 18 seconds? :D does the counter even go that high.... ;) My cars are all stock right now. So mid 15's in the turbo Z. If I do REALLY good in the 350Z it might hit 14 flat with me driving. They do a best of 13.7 stock Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I will have to check this out. My 620 is probably slow due to the fact that I have to shift 3 friggin times before I hit 35 MPH :lol: We will see..... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Best.... 14.20 @ 93mph, Golden Horseshoe Raceway 1970. Stock '70 Dart 340 4spd. Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 My engine is stock except for the Flowmaster muffler and pacesetter headers. Soon as I pass emissions for the last time I'm gonna throw my Weber back on. Then I might brake the 15 seconds. :D Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Mostly stock eh? To be closing in on a 15 sec run you must have a standard tranny and 3.70 rear axle. Find a pre '83 without the Z24 motor. Look for a long bed automatic 4.11 differential or a reg cab or KC automatic 4.375 diff. This will improve your launch off the line and cut your elapsed time.

Phlebmaster Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I wonder what my Dodge Intrepid will do in the 1/4 mile. It has the 3.5 V6 and will burn em off like no family car I have ever seen. Have to try it. :cool: Quote Link to comment

For 1/4 mile racing you want to use all your gears and be running out of revs just as you cross the finish line. If I wanted to slightly over rev my Dart I could finish the quarter in third. It had 3.23 gears, 4.11s or higher would have helped but then the tires wouldn't have been able to grip. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 not ALL your gears but up through your 1:1 ratio gear, right? so 4th gear in a 5-speed. My engine is stock except for the Flowmaster muffler and pacesetter headers. Soon as I pass emissions for the last time I'm gonna throw my Weber back on. Then I might brake the 15 seconds. :D If that were the case then your mostly stock mid 80's Nissan truck is faster than a mid 80's non turbo z-car, and almost as fast as the turbo Z. I think you should take it to the track. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 not ALL your gears but up through your 1:1 ratio gear, right? so 4th gear in a 5-speed. As long as you are accelerating faster in 5th than you would be in 4th at the same speed then use it. Strictly for quarter mile, if you crossed the finish line in the top of 4th gear and never got to use 5th, you could lower the rear end gears (higher numerical number). This would lower your top speed in all gears allowing a sooner shift into the next and keeping the motor in it's strongest pulling range. I would shift quickly into 4th for 3-4 seconds at the end because third, although still climbing, was running out of steam. This dropped the RPMs down into a higher torque range, even if just for a couple of seconds. There is also a slight loss on each shift, as much as a half second over three changes for a 4spd.

72 327 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Well according to the one time this truck went to the truck. I WAS NOT THERE. I did see the time slip but dont have it anymore.

sdsurf Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 you're kidding right? does it matter? These cars are for drifting if anything. Quarter belongs to my sister in law (9's in a 67 nova) or brother in law (high 10's in a manx). BTW wife can hit 7's in 1/8 mile :lol: Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 we're talkin about datsuns, an stock or semi modified Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hell, I don't know if I'll run 15's, 16', or 20's. I'm just waiting for a dry night to go down to the track now. I wonder how next weekend looks... Quote Link to comment

cg78 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I will run mine very soon. It should be interesting to see what i run with my LZ. Quote Link to comment

Why would it not pass? Because I don't have a EGR Valve and my cat has officially reached the POS stage. I can make it pass basically by starving the engine if I have the weber on.
