I just came back from the track and I ran the same ET of 15.5 but I went 91.99 mph without my CAI!!! I took the car to the dealer last week and I put the car back to the stock system to avoid dealer problems. I ran faster mph without it!

One problem though, on the next run I broke a motor mount because of excessive wheel hop! I was going to put on the ooglie CAI on the run after to compare, but now I wonder if it really makes a big difference!

 

that could also and most likely be attributed to it being alot cooler out that our last trip to the track

Adam, You are sooOOOO lucky I didn't show. Because you didn't, I would have....had to.....kick your a$$. J/K.

You put this together and then you don't show. You my friend are scared!

We need to install a ZEX kit on your slow a$$, so you can back up some of the $hit you been talking to the Ackura boys. Especially, the Goldy-S one.

Let's figure out a date that's good for everyone in December and THEN you can start talking $hit to the Ackura boys.

Is Firebird even open then?

 

Ha ha... im sure that would happen...
man im not scared, i was gonna strip my car like mingo and come have some fun, shiet happens though.. Its hot anyway, december will be way better although everyone and their mom is there though.. hell some nos would be fun... you wanna get it for me??

Adam

 

Sure!

You buy the kit and I'll fill the bottle .

 

figure towards the end of december and i'll be there...like the 20th or later

 

That might suck. I will be out of town Christmas week.

Will your car still be around on Jan. 4th?

 

i'll be back in az for thanksgiving like the 20th-26th of november and then back again from december 16-jan 16...around jan 10th i'm going to start parting out the car and probably jan6-10 i am taking a road trip to cali and tuscon w/ my friends (one has a free hotel pass at this resort place in tuscon so...gotta take advantage of that before it expires)...so we could do it anytime from the 16th of dec. to the 13th of jan or so...basically i am car-less out here and i am in need...since my car is just sitting in my garage (i found out that the battery is dead since my parents haven't driven it once (and they say kids are irresponsible?))...so basically i'm putting it back to stock and taking my old car...expedition down here since that will be better for the snow...speaking of which, it snowed today for the first time

so yeah...my parents will be driving around my max (in stock form) from the 16th until whenever they are able to sell it stock which is when i'll have to drive back the expedition to them and then find a supra whenever i can

 

Tell me it ain't so!! how did you run that with a 5sp? Don't 5th gen 5sp go like 14's out of the box?

I mean I have this weak old 3rd gen 190hp/190TQ 5sp. and it ran 15.5 totally stock with 150K miles.

 

its like 90 degrees in arizona...and he broke a motor mount

 

Did you read the entire post?? On the next run I was trying to come out of the hole a lot harder and then I broke a motor mount!!

 

Ah ****!! LOL You too?!!? heheheh at least they are easy to fix!

 

Actually Russ I was thinking, the same thing happened to you huh? How hard are they to fix? I guess that doesn't matter because I am going to take it in to Nissan.

 

Once you break a few and Nissan won't repair them or your warranty expires, you should switch to PR motor mounts. They supposedly help drastically reduce wheel hop and withstand hard launches, but you'll feel more engine vibration through the steering wheel.

Some manual 5th gen needs to try these and see if they work.
