[QUOTE=BOLIO 671;3487155]Found this on the web....thought I'd share...some pretty awesome runs....HotRodz is that your car on the first run with the GTR? Not sure who is in the background but it sounds like he says "Adios and Hafa Adai" which is a local term used here on Guam meaning "Hello and Goodbye" Whoever he is, I thought that was cool....Hafa Adai back to you man!


Yup that was me running against Tony (Fast Intentions), lol I laughed when I heard the commentary. I thought I did pretty good given the conditions that day...just no way to play with the guys with all wheel drive and more whp! It was fun as I was able to make runs up to 135 and 140 mph in about 1/3 of a mile. :driving:

subscribed and i hope to join the boosted crew someday :p

Boost makes the world go round!

:iagree: that's why I miss my 500+whp STi :( damn addictive boost :driving:

What happened to it? Ringland failure?

Sorry... I had to

hahhahaha! well i get bored and want something new and fun to drive (The Z) soo i sell it... and then i regretted :( but sh!t happen soo i hope to boost my Z someday hahha!

I thought u did pretty good too....I mean what is one to expect....the Z is the underdog in a match up like that....Props for repping and running...A true racer.....for the sport. ..."Run what U brung!"

I was rather surprised to hear the commentary in the background... not because of what it meant but because it was said in our native language out here....which is rarely heard of in the States Unless ur from Guam....doesn't sound by the accent that the guy is a local from here....he actually didn't announciate the words properly as how we would say it out here.

Thanks man...it was a great time. I was very happy with the performance of my car. Sebastian (SpecialtyZ) has really got my tune dialed in as I held my own against the boosted bad boy cars. I think everyone I ran against had at least 50 plus whp and torque than me and I was able to keep up with most of them.

I took a lot of people for ride a along...my favorite was a 9 year old. Before we took off he made me pinky swear that I wouldn't go to fast and then he said a prayer and crossed himself. Me, his dad and everyone around laughed so hard...it was perfect. We drove to the starting line and then after he crossed himself again we went took off. I was watching his facial expressions as I sped up to 120 and he was calm as a cucumber. When I came to a stop I asked him if he was scared and he said no that was fun can we do it again and go faster. I laughed and said okay, so we did and I did a 130 on that run. He was so happy, he wouldn't leave me alone afterwards.

Hell yes bro! thanks for sharing this! I hadn't seen the videos from this yet! :tup:

370Z vs GTR
 

Reviving the thread....After several months I finally went back to the drag strip....and after setting up I was disappointed to find out that the timer and tree were down so it was just straight grudge races. Last time I went to the track I clocked a 12.8 @ 109mph....that was before switching to EcuTek and getting tuned by Seb @ Specialty Z.....

With no tree or timer I did the next best thing to pace myself..... I asked a GTR to do a run...Although I didn't take the W...the race was a great experience....The GTR with a TOMEI exhaust was last timed doing the 1/4 mile at 11.7 @ 128mph. Figured I'd share my humbling loss. Although the track prep was terrible with no VHT laid down on the track, in the end I was content with the race.

NICE!!! I heard you using LC. What did you preset it at? Looks like you spun for a while. I've still been playing with this trying to find that sweet spot. I STILL have yet to be able to go to a 1/4 mile :( The lame track here requires a fire suit.:eekdance:

Hey guys!! Been a while! Finally not 110 degrees out so I was able to head on out to the 1/2 mile races this last weekend and got a few great races in! Not the best angles, but I didn't wanna be a A55 and just assume the win. LOL I need more go pros!

I was launching at 4100K RPM....This is with no VHT laid and without RRTC. I also wasnt able to warm up my drag radials properlyn due to not having the ability on my map. Got with Seb and got both the RRTC and ability to brake while burning out without killing power to the Throttle Chambers......EcuTek is awesome. Haven't had a chance to check these new features out yet as I am in the process of getting ready to install the Air 2 Air kit from TopGunz onto the Stillen S/C. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be able to go out and try the new features.

Awesome races....wish we had the 1/2 mile out here. I also like the new Rear Wing....

RRTC is traction control I think, but I didn't know ecutek has the ability to add the brake and throttle feature for burnouts!!? Was that just a tuning thing or something you had to purchase equipment wise as well? I believe Hojin actually purchased something for that.
