idk.... to busy helping people and myself haha.

thxone

Yeah....I have been riding my Kawasaki alot lately....still looking for a Z in my area for the right price.

snwbrderphat540

you'll find one. did you see the 260Z turbo for sale in kissimee for 1700?

also, i just got done riding the kawasaki, i cleaned the chain freaking good and lubed it up and its going to be soo warm here finally and and and the talon is almost done after close to 1k invested into it after the 1800 purchase. bleh! so this car better be ****ing insane haha. then im going to properly break in the motor and see if there is a Z for sale i like, if not im going to start throwing some extra go fast goodies. see if i can't break into the 12's with it haha. im going to take the bike to the track this year to and see if i can break into the 10's. i think i can do it. my hand smells like degreaser still. and i got soooo much studying to do. ICK!

thxone

I hope you can launch that bike properly...be cerrrrrrful homey!!

hoov100

i thought you had a 600? as for the 10's on the bike get a nice and sticky rear tire with an extended swing arm and a chain and sprockets for when you take it the track. other then that launch it in second keep the front wheel hovering off the ground through second and dont use the clutch to shift if you have strait cut gears in the trans. (found most bikes shifts a LOT smoother without the clutch)

edit: also you have to beat my best of 10.43 on my stock R1

snwbrderphat540

if i ge good enough i shoudl be able to get the bike to run a mid to high 10. doubt i can beat 10.43 though it isa 636 after all. and i want to do it stock. and of coarse it ***** with no cllutch. thats the beauty of a newer bike. all the gears are straight cut and doulbe synchro'd just blip the throttle and next gear

hoov100

get a bigger front sprocket and get a smaller rear sprocket with a good launch on sticky tires I'm sure you could get into the low 11's and high 10's I'm hoping to get my bike in the really low 10's or possibly the high 9's with suspension and tires.

snwbrderphat540

if i +1 -2 i could probably hit low tens myself if i can keep the front down, toss on a full exhaust and PCIII who knows then. one guy put down 127 RWHP on my bike same mileage with better filter i think new velocity stacks full exhaust PCIII and custom tune. but i wouldn't want to extend my bike just because it defeats the purpose at that point of a 600. but yeah MC magazine i think tested the bike stock and their riders hit mid/high 10's if i remember correctly. time to check!


here we go, its for 2005 but same exact back between 05-06

10.75 was the average best. now, all be it these guys ride for a living, but im saying, it is possible

thxone

That should tell you how bad *** my 1972 Formula Firebird was. 10.73 in the quarter on Pro Trac racing tires. If it had slicks, it may have kissed the 9 second barrier.

hoov100

but my bike only costs me $9k and is completely stock and daily driven and is capable of almost 200.

snwbrderphat540

Second^ plus I get around 40 mpg haha. Also extend an r1 and you can be in the 9's

thxone

Yeah but power to weight...we are talking like what 380lbs vs 3,000lbs? But you is right.

Edit: I think I was getting like 7mpg lol

hoov100

LOL! and he wants to trade it for a 510 drift car... more LOL

are headers supose to come bowed? i went mount my MSA header and it is bowed from the center and is off by about 3 mm

are they not suppose to sit flush with the head or is MSA doing a shitty job?

KasbeKZ

i've put some headers on and they were not bowed. you should call MSA.

280zx2by2

they closed at 1:00 today...


you put these on a 300zx or a L6?

KasbeKZ

put them on a TR-6. NZR. so, my experience is not completely pertinent, to your situation. but it's still worth calling them whenever they open.

280zx2by2

well i can push both side down and the gap is only 1mm so maybe they are just made to be flexible...

snwbrderphat540

come now? post a pic.

KasbeKZ

no snw. just you posting doesn't make my *** right now. get over yourself.

280zx2by2

ok, ill come again and show you pics of it...

this is with one side flush...

if i push both sides down by hand i can get it to within 1 mm

snwbrderphat540

oh you mean the header flange is WARPED. yeah thats not right id contact whoever you got that from it should be flush. was anyone else as drunk as i was last night? lol
