Ok I got it ! Had to turn on the cookies :eek:
Spooner congrats, very cool !

That is what I get also. I can't see anything either. Oh well, all good. Can you put them on YouTube?

LOL, I see them now. I didn't even come close to what I wanted to run. 170mph. It is tougher than it looks. 1/3 of a mile isn't chit for distance. I had to go from 3rd to 6th gear.

3.13 gears next

Noop, DCT.... That will make me competitive. Rowing through the gears takes time. I need a tranny upgrade anyways.

T56 swap no lift shift and add a strain gauge. Tranny hold 1800whp with stock gear sets with face plating.

That 3.69 gotta go

The only person with a dozen accounts listed and still cant log in. :hello:

:rofl2:

I have a T5 in my 1975 280z turbo and I hate how it shifts. I will never do a T56 swap. I will Fred Flintstone the car before I put one of those in it.

Yabba dabba do

:wtf2::icon18:

Lol fair enough. It holds power for alot less money then a dct

Hell, I may be done permanently. Unless someone wants to step up and sponsor my racing to help out with keeping the car running, I may just throw in the towel. I do it to have fun but here lately it has been a blood sucking money pit with little enjoyment.

You ain’t done.

Wife and I have been talking about it. It is up to me if I want to go any further. She completely understands I am very disappointed. Compared to others my car was slow as dog chit. I need to find 20mph somewhere. A gear change is not gonna do it. I need 200 more whp also. I can't even keep the one I have running properly. What the hell is the point.

You ain’t slow that’s for damn sure. Take a step back enjoy life and the car for a while. It’s in your blood you will be back in due time

Well, the car doesn't scare me. It is still slow. I need a twin turbo UGR Lambo but I am too damn poor.

Until I get this reaction I will not be satisfied. LOL

Congrats Spooler.... Glad you were able to make the event and have some fun!

I totally agree with Elmo370Z...Take the time to enjoy the car for you. You've been through a whole lot with this build in the past few years....Sometimes the best thing is just to lay back not worry and enjoy the moments for what it is.

Spooler,
Can get you a deal on a Super-Go Fast ride :yum:
This one May scare you a bit :wtf2:

Maybe it’s time to put a proper turbo system
In place, twin front low mounts, get rid of the factory core support. Now you will have room to play with. Run the proper size piping. Turbo size won’t be a restriction due to space. 12-1400whp shouldn’t be an issue then. If 900’s are slow to you then unfortunately this is the next step. Those twin mid mount only can go so big before you run out of space.

It may be time to VR38 swap it and be done with all this silly chit.

If you want to make a suggestion, You can make a donation to my build. LMAO!!!!!

Did your engine give in? I scrolled back a page or two but didn't find the answer.

Here ya go...

That may be the way to go.

Anybody Got a Match?????

What Spooler did hasn't been done before at Pocono Z's don't run there he was the only 370z. What he did was impressive Jonxxx and I witnessed it with our own eyes. I respect the fact that he came all the way up North and gave it a shot something no other 370z has done since rolling racing began there in 2013-2014 that includes myself .

It would have been better if the car didn't break. I could make adjustments and come back. Now I have to deal with a broke car for the 3rd time. The more I drove. the better I got. Next time, I will run even better. If there is a next time.

I have been putting up with some of you pieces a crap for a while. NO MORE!!!! YOU Will not bully me anymore.

oof.

Sucks.

What kind of coolant were you using when your car spiked up in temp?

I never ran my car on a track course. I don't ever plan on it since my entire set up would be useless on a track but for highway runs, I've taken it up to 180ish and let go. Boost cut off is at 32psi. After a few back to back runs my coolant temps would shoot around 220F.

I've been using the blue Honda coolant. That $hit has been working wonders for me. Maybe you should try the Honda coolant.

Spooler, you have done a lot to open doors for people in this community with regards to FI for the VQ. Being a trailblazer is never an easy road to walk and it should be expected that more failures will be had than success.
That being said, observationally, it seems that you are letting this whole process drain you of the passion that may have inspired this journey to begin with. It's the internet, calm down a little and enjoy your car. It's a mass produced sports car from Nissan that was never intended to push that much power. Things are gonna break, chit is gonna hit the fan and it's gonna get to you. Expect that even best laid plans aren't gonna pan out and people are gonna try and get under your skin (either intentionally or unintentionally).
I don't know you or anyone else beyond this forum, so take things with a grain of salt and ENJOY THE CAR!

You know what they say: if you can't take the heat, there's probably an air pocket in your coolant system.

:wtf2:

I’ve been following your build since the beginning bud and as a third party with no alterior motives, I think you let the black hole swallow you up and you just got too greedy.

Originally it was just a big build to make you happy to hell with the dyno numbers or trap speeds etc. but, everyone egged you on, you got a bit competitive/obsessed and you started chasing numbers.

I think you’ve found the limit on this platform and frankly your passed it by some, I mean, don’t take this the wrong way but how much did those 5 passes cost yoy per pass? I’m not saying any of this yo be a d1ck, but rather to give an outside friend’s perspective.

The whole point of this hobby, unless you get a paycheck from it, is fun and pushing YOUR goals etc, not for me, or Elmo or any jackhole on the ‘gram etc.

Figure out what you want to do, either dial the car back 100wp or so and enjoy the hell out of it for a lot less $$$ per mile, or sell and move up to a better faster starting platform. The road you’re going down now will only end up with your car broken and your wallet empty. And no one here egging you on is gonna gove you compensation go any of it. Oh, and that ego stroking fame you’ve been getting here and on social will be gone in an instant and folks will move onto whoever the new hotness is like jc or Elmo or someone else going down this road.

You’re kinda turning into a cautionary tale man, pull chute before it’s too late. :tiphat::tiphat:

Fvck, WANT. Love me some old ‘merican iron. Is that an 871 blower? :yum:

:shakes head:

:bowrofl:

Ok, that was funny as hell.
