I know i know you guys are tired of seeing my name on all these damn threads, but I got alot of questions. I'm goin to go up to Union Grove dragstrip in Wisconsin on Aug 9th for a Nissan night,and wanted to know if it would b safe to throw some slicks on there once I get to the strip I don't want the axles flying off the car when I launch.What you guys think?

And is anyone else going up there on the 9th?be nice to see more people with some nissans up there. Oh ya what is a normal time or a mostly stock Z to be running N/A?

any drag strip will allow drag slicks so long as it's just a test and tune, when you get into cometietive racing class dictates tire and wheel choice

Slicks are fine. But I don't think it will get you anything. You're not going to be setting any speed records with an NA.

Ya you guys are all right about it not being fast enough,and i was wondering if the car will even turn them damn things HaHa.I don't think it will hurt tho..I do have alot of tire spin now with normal tires mabey they will just grip and go.Shi* they were Freebees any way.I just don't want the rear axles to fall off.

Is this car worth building?everyone seems to be negative toward the N/A is it that damn slow?

Is it worth building? Well... The fastest NA Z31s (even those on nitrous) are still smoked by any turbo with a boost controller. If that answers your question.
