Hows a ca powered car stand against a 350z

[CaEric]

Hey hows a ca18 stand up against a 350z...what mods would be need it ?"

[c-rad]

To take a stock 350Z? I would say an SR T25 at 14psi with full 3" exhaust and a fmic.

[Nick240sx]

it wouldnt

[nismoplsr]

it wouldnt

Thats the truth. I destroyed one on the highway. Looked like he put it in reverse.

i have ablot of freinds that drive z's and the g35. our web site http://www.alabamagz.comi can tell you this i can run 14.2 and the z usely run 13.7 g's14.3.now thats just what my freinds run they might be some faster and slower. also this i also have freinds with s/c and turbo z's and g's that are very fast. on e of them is the only g35 powered by a hks s/c in the u.s.

[knightrider]

well, i think it all depends on the state of the 350 or g35 you are racing, if they are bone stock, minor bolt ons, like intake, exhaust. up the boost with any turbo other than the stock one. your chassis is lighter than a 350, so you dont need as much power to match its speed. and get some wider tires to hook up with. now if you are trying to beat say, a 760hp/824ft/lb G35, i would say good luck, haha. oh yea, video of said g35 at JWT for tuning, should be in a magazine shortlyhttp://www.violentracing.com/V...I.flv

knightrider can you hook me up with some jwt stuff. you can email me at [email protected]

I never look at max horsepower, rather than getting the most efficiency out of the engine you have. It's great if a CA car can stand with or even beat a Z, but it's even better knowing that your CA car didn't cost over 25K, Stock. Getting a 1.8 to hold it own against larger engines is an accomplishment in itself.

[knightrider]

its not all in the hp numbers, you have to account for the 350 being almost 1000 lbs heavier. so you dont need as much power. btw, that g35 i posted earlier is not a drag car, those guys dont even touch the strip, they all go circuit via speed trials and speed ventures.

and capwred: email me with wat you are looking for and i will see what i can do.

Back when i had the gtir t28 on my CA, i raced one from about a 30mph roll and absolutely destroyed it. I was on 10psi and all i could tell was exhaust on the red 350z. Power to weight ratio for the win!

[yourmomsrps13]

i raced one from 65mph and was half a car infront the whole time till i hit fuel cut and he hit 6th.

I have- evo 8 FMIC SR T25 7psi and hks intakeZ had - full exhaust

[dvd]

cool thread because beating a 350z was waht i was really looking after. Too bad there isnt any that ever wants to race

[Swedish Mike]

Hmmm... You guys think the 350Z is fast? I was pretty sad after the test drive, the car had everything but power.

My last S13 had both 350Z and M3 E46 for lunch and that on a stock block with bigger turbo and the normal stuff.

I just played with a 05 Track Zed in traffic. He tried to look bad a$$ because this crappy looking early 90s POS was in traffic with him, but a little boost and he backed down QUICK. Kinda disappointing that a $30k car has less dynamic ability than a $10k build price one.

[89'ClubK's]

Hell yeah! I don't race my own kind mostly, only other manufactuors. I imagine the Z is detuned for economy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the JDM Fairlady has higher horse I believe. Also, if they made a turbo version, it would be price ridiculously. How much is the new GTR that is coming to the states? 60K? The Z is beautiful no matter what (except those door handles). Unfortunatly most of the people that can afford them, don't tune them. Its great to see the CA18 get some respect!

[nissanic89]

i had a convertable pull out on me at the light tryin to act cool for his girl in the passenger seat, i went right after him and pulled up on his bumper, yeah didnt want to run me at the next light, prolly woulda been fun though.-chris

[knightrider]

i will tell you this, when nissan does release a turbo version of the vq35, it will haul ***, they respond very well to turbo charging. the new gtr isnt going to be using a normal vq motor either, word from a reliable source is they are going to be using a new motor that doesnt have throttle bodies.

[rico05]

Well, not to be rude, but it all respects the new VQ for the GT-R should be far and beyond the most advanced engine that Nissan has ever done. It BETTER be unreal fast...

Likewise, a boosted Z/G with appropriate attention paid to the chassis would blow any of us down. As a well sorted $60k car should do. But that is an unfair comparison regardless.

[mazdaman]

It's not about the car as much as it is the driver. You can take down a Ferrari with a Honda if the fool don't know how to drive...

Well, that's obvious. All things equal, 350Z vs CA18 240SX.

[mazdaman]

Show me a situation where all things are truly equal, and I will give you the answer

What? This is an assumption that both drivers have the ability to "drive" their cars. I don't see where you are going with this? It's pretty cut and dry to me.

I was implying this is a "perfect" scenario that would never be... But in the satisfaction of curiosity, I will give the benefit of the doubt and put my money on the CA.

[89'ClubK's]

Thats right... I forgot. It'll be coming with a VQ30DETT right? 450hp?I believe the TOP SECRET GTR has a twin turbo V8 in it. Unreal!Can't say I won't be jealous of the new GTR owners. They're beautiful.

your right its going to be a all new vq engine.its going to be a 3.7liter.the new v6.but only time will tell.i think that it we will see 500bhp and some nice tq numbers to.but that the bad thing about it is that there going to be a 70k+ and then what ever the dealers want to add to that.from what we was told at the nissan dealers ship that sponsors alot of are stuff is that ever dealer ship is only going to get 2.and then they can either sell them to john q or to another dealer ship.

Top Secrets Skyline has a VK45DETT out of a Titan IIRC. It's a V35 Skyline converted into Top secrets own version of the GT-R...cuz, yinno, there isn't one on the V chassis yet...

I think if you found a Z owner wh oput the equivalent of what you put in your S chassis you'd get spanked. Considering you did an engine swap, boost up etc.

You win some you lose some is what I say. but NOTHING will make me doubt the CA after seeing "Michael Spencer's KILLER CA S13 Onevia" in Drift battle mag. 412hp! I'd only post more info if someone wants it....lol

^ I want that info, for sure.

[89'ClubK's]

Yes, I have that issue of Drift Battle as well. I was going to buy the Trust turbo set-up on their project car, but decided for an S14 unit instead.Is that what the #'s turn into? I don't know the equivalant of Hp-KW.Aussies love CA18's. Go 1-VIA!!!
