Anybody with an RB in or near GA going to DNI?

[240z4u]

I know this isn't RB specific, but was wondering if anyone was going to the show to race in march. Ill be there. Would be sweet to see a couple other RB powered sx's. There are a few fast zcars that are RB'ed.

Always nice to get to see other cars that are done, so I can steal ideas LOL.

If it wasnt so dang far away I would be there in a heart beat!!

[240z4u]

Dude, I am driving from Madison, WI. lol. Its totally worth it for me, this is unlike any carshow event I have been to.

Evan

If you DO decide to go, I will be leaving really early but we can follow each other back up through TN.

So its like in 65 days huh? I would love to go!

[rb25drag]

What part of TN are you guys coming through? If my car is finished with this propane setup Ill try and go with you guys!! I would love to go, I just hope my truck and trailor makes it!! HAHA

[240z4u]

Ill be coming through TN about 4 days before the show. I am going with my GF to see her family down there too. Ill be AT the show saturday morning loitering until sunday morning when the action goes down.

It would be killer if you guys could go! Its a freaking blast. I have buddies from Georgia, alabama, florida... freakin everywhere that I go down to see. I know of two other guys that may be going from MI and ohio too.

Evan

BTW, this site is tied in with http://www.hybridz.org , if you have never been there you should take a look. Excellent tech info.

[rb25drag]

I will be coming out of Chattanooga TN so its about a 5 hr drive for me! Give me a PM closer to the event and Ill know for sure. I have a dead line to meet now LOL.. Are you going to be racing or just watching?

[240z4u]

5 hours, thats not bad at all.

Get your damn car done!

Evan

[rb25drag]

Hey man I have been working Day and Night!!! It should be done in a month then I gotta tune it and work out the bugs!! But trust me Im working HARD!!!

On a tight budgit building and driving 5 hrs is alot for me!! But hopefully it will all come together. If im not done with the car Ill prob head down just to check out the event it looks sweet!!!

I have a Z buddy that would be very interested in this. Ill give him the hookup as well.

[240z4u]

Just trying to give you some motivation!

There will be alot of zcars there obviously. So he would probabally have a good time too.

Good luck getting it done. I have a freaking laundry list to do before I go. I also have to get tuned!

Evan

I live in Ga. its at the atlanta dragstrip right? in commerce?

[rb25drag]

No its south of atlanta! Reynolds area. The address is on the link that 240z4u posted google map it and it will show you exactly were its at!

[240z4u]

Silver Dollar Raceway in reynolds, GA.

Very nice location IMO.

Usually girls there too, so feel free to bring your ladies with ya.

Evan

[240z4u]

I will put this offer out there, if anyone is on the fence about doing an RB25DET swap in a 240 I will be happy to give you a ride in my car if you show up!

Evan

[gawdzilla]

Lol plan on breaking eh?

[gawdzilla]

Lol plan on breaking eh?

it's a 240, what else is going to happen?

if i went i'd def want to run.. but its a risk being so far away.

[240z4u]

I plan on beating the hell out of my car. I did it last year.

No breakage yet! Thankfully.

Gawdzilla, where do you live?

Evan

Thats how I always am too, if I'm there and there is racing I want to join...

I hate the idea of the trailering because the drive there is half the fun.... I need to find a free tow truck to just follow me around. If I'm under 300 miles from home its all good, my buddy has AAA.

[gawdzilla]

Gawdzilla, where do you live?

just outside washington dc.

i have no doubts about my car making it there and back, just a little afraid to launch it at the track. if i go i'm gonna want to run, which means i'll be bringing slicks/skinnies.. so things are probably going to break

[240z4u]

The only concern would be parts. I know of a handfull of guys who bring trailers with tools so thats no problem.

[240z4u]

What are you running for tires? I am going to buy a pair of ET streets here shortly.

Evan

[Shocker]

Bring and extra pair of axles, thats what I do... Now if you snap your shaft your ****ed....

[240z4u]

I am taking an extra pair of axles.

Evan

[gawdzilla]

What are you running for tires? I am going to buy a pair of ET streets here shortly.

i share a wheel setup with my friend who has an FC. it's a pair of ET street bias plies... 26x11.5x16 on mustang wheels. fronts are bias plies on FC 16" alloy spares...

i guess i could source an extra set of axles... then i'd need to find them. what axles do you have? my car's got the stock non-vlsd/non-abs pumpkin and stock axles, s14. we'll see when the event gets closer.

[240z4u]

Well, my car had the stock non abs open diff and thats what the axles are for. I do have a q45 rear but nothing else was involved as far as axle swap.

If you broke an axle and I did not, I would gladly give them to you so you weren't stranded.

Do you know if driver and passenger side are the same length? I would bring a pair.

Evan

[gawdzilla]

Do you know if driver and passenger side are the same length? I would bring a pair.

thanks for the offer.. thats the only thing i really can forsee breaking. Pretty sure pass/driver side are different lengths cuz the diff isn't symmetrical. Don't quote me on that though. I'll talk to some friends and see if they're interested in heading down. Definitely looks like a cool event

[240z4u]

Yeah, it would be nice to have several sets down there for guys snapping axles.

My only concern would be ponying up my axles then breaking one myself LOL.

I have enough buddies down there where I know I could get one if I was really in a jam.

Evan

[Shocker]

driver side axle is shorter than the passenger side on the q45, 300zx, R32-33 rear ends. Not sure about the 240's though.

[240z4u]

I guess I could search LOL.
