I want to finish my bike before I get back into the car, so ....

Already have here, need to install:
Graves cam
Graves slide stops
Brembo brakes, lines, pads, rotors
Marchesini wheels
CF fender and hugger


Still have to pick up/do, but will be within a month:
Graves valve springs
ISR brake master cylinder/lever and matching clutch lever
Ohlins forks
re-paint the Marchesini's
tune the suspension
tune the engine

Then the car gets a complete overhaul, it's going to get expensive ......

sure damn did..I felt the need to address that problem IMMEDIATELY.. shifting twice while others are in the same gear..

also at the track I was shifting right at the 1/4 mile line.. with the new gears I shouldn't have to shift in 4th till 120mph.

you mean shift out of 4th until 120mph, correct? What you said sounds like your 3rd will pull to 120mph, and if so I need that gear!:D

Mine:
3rd- 105mph
4th- @145mph
5th- @180mph

Where you at Tony tone! :tongue:

lol you're right.. I was a little tired earlier. I'll be hitting 120mph shifting out of 4th.. I cant remember the exact MPH for each gear will but its basically the automatic Z's final drive.. more boost in each gear and less shifting.

You must have been in 1st when we started from 50mph?

SilviaK93
08-06-2005, 06:37 PM
no, 1st gear finishes out @45mph I would say. That gear goes by so quick I cant react fast enough to read the speedo, and watch the rev limiter at the same time.

Did we start from a 50 roll? If so I was only in 3rd, I never raced you from a 2nd gear pull.

tony
08-06-2005, 06:56 PM
I thought it was 50mph but I could be wrong. My first gear is exactly the same.. that is what made launching at the track so hard even with slicks.

Intake manifold, bored throttle body, RIPP headers and Borla Exaughst

what kind of gains will you be looking at?

SilviaK93
08-06-2005, 07:17 PM
whats the ultimate hp/tq goal for your car Tony?

05Tib
08-06-2005, 07:36 PM
The throttle body and intake manifold boast a 5-10% ish increase in HP. The RIPP headers that have been dynod on a stock Tib with just a CAI (already got that) gave the Tib 32.6 whp increase and 25.9 lb/ft of torque increase. Then the exaughst is ur standard 10-15 Hp gain, i think, dont quote me on it. Thats the next step, there is more to come under the hood later... Going all NA though

tony
08-06-2005, 10:17 PM
whats the ultimate hp/tq goal for your car Tony?

after tuning it will put down 450whp.. thats guaranteed. I'm thinking about pushing it to 470whp but I'm not sure considering the way I drive.

I'm really just trying to prove a point for the VQ doubters, people say the VQ cant hold 8psi and nothing more than 400hp.. I say it can hold 500whp as a daily driver so we'll see. If I had the patience to get the engine rebuilt I'd push it to 12psi and see how long it lasts.

Immediately probably Ceramic Coating Header/Uppipe then Wrapping some of the downpipe for spool. Sleeving some of the I/C Piping. Trying out the HKS Fan Controller here tuesday. Finish the Heat Reduction stuff in the Car, then go for a bit more power.

Later on Clutch and possibly meth injection.

has anyone gone with an extremely lightweight clutch and flywheel? I had this mod in my G before and I loved it but it was very hard to drive. I've been driving manuals for 9 years and I was stalling all over the place.

I've been thinkin about going with a stage 2 or stage 3 SPEC clutch whenever I need to get a new one... but I've heard they are so horrible for traffic or even normal daily driving that I'm not sure... might just stick with the king cobra clutch. Mustang clutches are hard enough as they are...

tony
08-07-2005, 01:17 PM
If its like the clutch I experienced there is basically NO slippage, its either engaged or it stalls with no in between. The thing rev'd like a motorcycle and was very fun to drive but cruising was the worst.

i had all that on my 03. i was able to pull a 15.1 with AEM CAI alone and was finally able to get to a 14.05 with NGM's stage 2 manifold, OBX exhaust, key performance headers.

Tony: I had a JUN flywheel and ACT clutch in my Nissan. The ACT was a 6-puck unsprung and it was a pain in the a$$ to get around with mainly on hills, and if cars got to close behind me. The thing revved awesome though. I later went to a Fidanza flywheel and JWT clutch. This was much easier to get around town.

I think as long as you get a strong SPRUNG clutch you will be good to go.

I will be upgrading to a Fidanza flywheel and slightly stronger than stock clutch when it is time in the Z. The car revs pretty quick now, but the flywheel just makes a world of difference.:D

JITB
08-09-2005, 01:26 AM
i have a lighter flywheel, and it does rev a hell of alot quicker. And i feel like a retard driving it b/c im so used to the regualr flywheel. just have to get used to revving it alot higher so it wont stall. but its efinately worth it, especially fidanza i hear nothin but good things abou there flywheels.
