SUBDUE VN SS v's 300zx VG30

[RVN 355]

Hey guys i was wondering what would win in a drag my vn ss or my mates 1990 300zx vg30 stock with two cannons stock pipe work and new 1 piece tailshaft. My SS is putting out 144.5kw @ the dyno - 5litre 304, extractors,3.0.8 LSD, 2.5" exhaust, VS V8 cold air intake with vs v8 air box with K & N Filter, Nolathane Strut Brace,Kmac Lowered Suspension,Dunlop SP3000a 17" 235 x 45. Maybe had some chip or trans work note sure but happy with the power only owning for 1 month.

Would luv 2 line it up at the drags and awating my gtech pro in the post. Got it off ebay.

Your ss would kick the sh*t out of a n/a 300zx. If it was twin turbo, well thats another story

My Mates Z is not slow and really gets up there. If and when my cam and chip package comes i will know my car has the potential for good numbers then.

how much did you pick your g-tech up for subdue?

[str8up]

Your car puts out 144.5Kw, weighs 1400Kg and run a 0-100kph around 7 secs. Your mates Z would have 130RWKw max in its best form and weighs 1500Kg's. It would probablly run a 0-100kph in the 8's. More of a match for a v6 commodore.

i stuck with one till about 75 (then we both stopped due to cop car coming the other way)

i have a V6, you should destroy him with your 'point and shoot' car

those 300zx motors are fairly crap apparently , and once turboed they dont last very long.

you have a better car all round, and two less cannons as well :P

[fu2]

i would probally say the 300 would take off quicker but the vn will do everything else after that

[gumbs]

In a straightline you will destroy the 300. But around corners and such the 300 will be alot better (providing your commo doesnt have ALOT of work)

non turbo 300zx's put out about 168 - 170kw stock.. (according to red book)
and weight 1500kg....

300zx motors are only crap because they are a bitch to work on, get a picture of a 300zx engine bay and you'll see why

bear in mind that kw reading is outta the block - subbies ss is at the wheels - translates into - not that bad a mismatch

dude i would love to see that race ... cubic inches will just about always win out in a natural aspiration battle - but thats a great match up all the same

Trust me workin on my mates 300zx ... wheres the head, crank,cam? gimmie a 304 any day off the week!!!lol z32 vg30 pain 2 work on thats why ppl do skylines instead of the 3litre quad cam

[boxhead]

But get a twin turbo model, do some minor work and that 300zx should be a real rocket ship.

[RVN 355]

Hey guys as far as i know hes taken a few 5L... VT SS, XR8 AU ute, lexo 4l v8, VQ stateo and a VN...

Frank (azzurro on this forum and aus300zx.com) says his car is good for 14.5 as a non turbo and doesnt even waste his time on Buiks :my:

So he admits i have more power but he rekons his 300 has a superior body and technology in his motor....

So im not sure if i will do a mid, low or high 14.. we will see!!

my money has always been on the 300zx, you gotta hand it to the japs they make good poket rockets, you gotta thing about the power to weight ratio, how many pies have you eaten today subdue you fatty?

your cars nice though and sure it would be close but the zx would take you i think, mind you i took a 200zx and an old turbo celica (1980's something) on tonkin HWY and as my mate will testify my nearly stock VP blew them both away?
go figure??

Did u say steak? lol nah we all know the commodores are heavy but so is the z its not like im wanted 2 test it out againts a wrx or gti R pulsar. I know my limits and untill i get the funds it wont happen. Any way soon as i give Azzuro a run ill be sure 2 post the results and see where i can take the ss 2 the next level.

[hispeedvp]

if you can, can you drag him on a closed circut with proper results, im not a huge fan of street draging, it prooves nothing there is to many veriables, on the proper strip is where you see the real results.

Yeah good idea Print out from Air would determine the results. Wouldn't drag him on the road not a good idea and forget speeding i need my 12 points and licence Thanks

Attached is a pic me & Azzuro took about 10 minutes ago around the industrial area. Let us know what u think of the vn & 300zx

[HoZy]

Is this RWKW? Stock twin turbos rarely achieve those numbers on a dyno, mine dynoed ~150kw at the rears (when stock).

[minux]

if your pushing 145 rwkw, id say your looking at a 14.5 over 1/4.

[RVN 355]

yeah im not 2 happy with the numbers i gota get some more mods done, new diff gears,3" plus a crow cam but its all time and $
