IanS16 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Would have thought It'd be better getting wider wheels on the back and a launch control system if you are serious about drag racing. LC systems arent cheap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi guys I'm looking increse the 0 - 100 time in my 56 plate zed what difference would say each 10hp make in time from 0 - 100 Thanks I assume you mean decrease? If you want to increase it just fill the car with lead, and put crap fuel in It would be handy to know what you are really trying to achive with the 0-100 time though. Reduce drag strip times, or generally make the car quicker? For either options, weight saving is a good start, but if you want it as a daily driver, you wont save much weight apart from removing the spare wheel and swapping out the seats for something lighter. Let us know what the goal is and we can help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC systems arent cheap though I think you can use the haltech ecu system for that (platinum).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccfc7cc Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks Guys yes I mean decrese my 0 - 100 time I only use the car on the weekends and I haven't done anything yet to the car I sill want to beable to do a 250 mile round trip in it what I'm basicly looking for is to make it as quick as I can, I have read that people saying about qucik 0 - 60 but then an M3 or 911 is going to leave it for dead I'm looking to get my 350 to a point where it can keep up with these after the first 5 or 6 seconds also my 350 is a uk nismo model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 You would need to go FI then Hope you got deep pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinopy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think you've bought the wrong car if that's what your after, unless you're willing to spend big £££££s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 You would need to go FI then Hope you got deep pockets +1 - cheaper and easier just to get an M3. They have more power and torque and are in a region where FI or NA its going to cost you a lot of money to keep up. FI will get you to levels where you can beat them easily though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 You would need to go FI then Hope you got deep pockets +1 - cheaper and easier just to get an M3. They have more power and torque and are in a region where FI or NA its going to cost you a lot of money to keep up. FI will get you to levels where you can beat them easily though But it is not just about power/torque. There is no doubt an M3 is a bloody good car, but everyone knows about those whereas with the ZED they offer not only the rarity factor but as many informed testers had said, the overall driving experience is just so rewarding and you are in a true GT sports car. Simply wanting to be a boy racer and outdrag someone (on the road) is pretty pointless to me and will inevitably attract the wrong attention at some time, or worse.... But if that is your way then NOS seems the answer for the traffic light gran prix. Edit: snap Fiddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccfc7cc Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks guys not in to traffic light GPs just want to have the power there for the sake of it really and I have to say the 350 handles so much better than an M3 How deep are we talking hear for forced injection would 5k do or would i need a lot more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZedJohn Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Wouldn't a lighter flywheel / new clutch give an edge? If it revs more freely that should help acceleration, plus add a filter and better exhaust to help the breathing and a remap and that should make a difference.

Yes but not enough, unless you are an exceptionally good driver and they are pants, as he's only interested in straight line speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboy10 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I know this is difficult but if you can one of the best ways to decreasing the 0-100 times in a Zed is to reduce the weight of the car. Example.....If you have the 296BHP model which is roughly 1520KG, actually the BHP is nearer 198BHP Reducing the weight by the following can: 120KG - 215BHP 150KG - 220BHP 200KG - 228BHP 250KG - 237BHP (Potentially 4.7-4.9 0-60 time) (Source using simple maths....) Now obviously these values are approximations and I know it’s very difficult to lose lots of weight however think of the results from just taking the spare wheel out, removing the passenger seat, etc etc .......... No forced induction, more MPG.......... Everyone’s Happy. Maybe you already know this...Sorry if you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 There is one easy answer with 2 options: 1) Shorter final Drive. 2) Cams and a remap / turbo / supercharger The End Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxtreme Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 There is one easy answer with 2 options: 1) Shorter final Drive. 2) Cams and a remap / turbo / supercharger The End Yup shorter final drive is by far the cheapest option and will give very positive results. Only downside is reduced top speed and slightly higher fuel consumption, the latter would be the case with most power increasing mods anyway though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 1) Shorter final Drive. That'd give an extra gear change to 100mph tho if you went 4.1, and an extra one before 60mph if you went 3.9. 350z doesn't like gears being slammed, so could make it slower mabe in a straight line? Might be wrong, just my interpretation of what i've read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
