Everything on this Z looks & sounds freakin phenomenal. Job well done 💪🏻

@JordanDecarie25 2 года назад

typical DP passes the end of the front straightaway pit wall with his foot still planted to the firewall and looks over to the camera to provide explanation 😂, nobody rips tech like you DP.

@bgee461 2 года назад

Only about half way into the vid, but listing your top 5 lap times would help solidify driver consistency and thus secure one tire as a winner over the other

@michaelluttmer2486 2 года назад

Thanks for putting this car through the paces on the track, I miss your track driving segments.

@scottimusgarrett15 2 года назад

Nice to see a Z car not going smoky-sideways! I've always had an affinity for these cars, and now that they're relatively plentiful and inexpensive, you can make a hell of a nice GT/ performance car. Well done!

@KoreRacing 2 года назад

Sad to not see this car progress further. But you did a good job giving it a basic track set up. Thanks for the Z love.

@Aouf1 2 года назад

what would u add or change

@albonfilms 2 года назад

Been waiting for this one!!! I've run Continental ECS on every car for years. Just took first in class at Autocross last week on them vs a field of 200TW Z's too! I'll definitely be swapping up to the Force now after seeing how fast they are!

@TML34 2 года назад

Great shots of the suspension travel, DP! Looks like it could use a bit more compression dampening, but not bad. 👍

@timathypotato8034 2 года назад

man this is making me question what fun car I want to get, I was thinking of going for a c5 vette since they seem to be one of the best performance values, and while I do like them, I know deep down I want something japanese

@speedacademy 2 года назад

This really is a sleeper car for track use. With a set of good brakes and suspension mods, the Z has enough power stock to still be quick and not feel underpowered like the BRZ/FRS do.

@therealboofighter 2 года назад

That car would look so good with out that wing. I really like the detail you go into with these types of videos. Clear and interesting with great driving shots.

@BrunerTuner 2 года назад

Man, I'm so glad you guys brought the Z back for a couple episodes before you send it off. It really is a great chassis for grip. People love to talk about the cons, but overall it really is a great drivers car, I love using mine on the track. Great work as always boys, let PowerJDM know I'm in Dallas as well and will be right over to pick up my new Z ;)

@93455Driver 2 года назад

"Just exploring the limit....." back end goes and DP counters......great video!

@PenguinScotty 2 года назад

Honestly, the ECSs are a tire i recommend to anybody who goes to the track for the first time. Super predictable and the last a looong time. Also, absolutely phenomenal in the wet (A lot of us run them as rain tires still). Been curious about the ECFs for our Champcar Miata. Right now we've been running the RS4s because it was kind of the go-to for Enduros for a long time, however the ECF is tickling my fancy quite a bit. Wet performance definitely will be a factor!

@chestrockwell8328 2 года назад

I used a 350z 2003 for a dual purpose vehicle couple years ago; it's a great car for this. Kept mine 100 percent stock drive train. Had Z1 suspension arms, oem Brembo brakes with Hawk pads, BC racing coil overs, Hotchkins sway bars, Konig Hypergrams with Federal rr 265's all around. I was able to turn lap times with or better than pricey German name plates costing 10 tens what I had in the Z. I drove it two and from events in total comfort of the full oem interior.

@666shredordie 2 года назад

When I do autocross with 340tw I get beat by roughly 2.5 seconds by the 200tw guys every time. I'm not surprised.

Had to laugh at the pricing comment. The cheapest 350z I could find within 300miles was $14k and it had over 100k miles on it. Everything is absolutely ridiculous right now!

@jacquesc3166 2 года назад

In Ontario, where these guys are, nice DE's are going for 13-16K CAD and nice HR's are going for 18-21K. Prices are up 25-30% from where they were 4-5 years ago.

@jacquesc3166 2 года назад

Great video guys, it's too bad there won't be a part 3 where the car either goes FI or gets the full NA bolt-on install & tune. I had a FBO DE coupe for 7 years, though not a revup which this seems to be going by the 7K shifts. That 5600 ish RPM to 7K band feels great and the car never fails to deliver... if this is indeed a revup I hope "precautions" or reliability mods are on the agenda before the giveaway. The new-to-me 2007 GT roadster (HR) I got in August is also AX6 Redline, and in September the car got gloss black Enkei Kojins wrapped in Conti ECS (18X8.5 +25 w/ 245/40R18; 18X9.5 +15 w/ 265/40R18). Same colour theme, same street tires. This video was FOOD for me.

@AnalogDave 2 года назад

I ran 275 square on my HR for a long time. If you go down to 255/17/40 the value proposition looks alot better but probably doesn't look as good and you lose a little grip. The drivetrain was dead reliable. It was a fun track day car.

@brendanrice6795 2 года назад

Do you guys know anyone with a Taycan? I'd be curious what your opinion of it is on track. I know you don't love the corner exit behavior of Teslas 😂

@KaiserSeven 8 месяцев назад

Which body kit is that?! 😍

@aidendingle1101 2 года назад

Do front canards that are mounted like that add any downforce to the front, or is it just more of a style piece. Kinda interested since a lot of the cars that i see with canards have this style, but a lot of other more "serious" cars have some crazy stuff going on in the front

@bowlkiller1975 2 года назад

Seems like you aren’t taking advantage of a 10.5 inch wheel with a 275 tire. Why not save weight and money and run a 10” or even less?

@speedacademy 2 года назад

You’re splitting hairs at this point, 10 vs 10.5 will be negligible in weight and money. Truth be told, Konig doesnt offer a 10 otherwise we’d likely on up on that.

@SR20DEBT 2 года назад

the fuel gauge on my 240sx stopped working after the car sat for a while, i assume its just a little rust on the fuel level bobber. A trick i learned is just slam all the doors shut a few times and itll break the level sensor loose and itll start working again

@@speedacademy I have to disagree. The 03-04 cobra mustang and LS1 Camaro was out back then. Swapped 240s and Honda's also were too much for them.

@jacquesc3166 2 года назад

@@youcanevaporate5961 That limited production Cobra with independent suspension is hauling 400 more lbs than the Z33 (also GL finding one..?). That gen F-body needed mods to keep up with curvy tracks. Z cars were always built for balance, not straight line racing. I mean, you crap on the old stock VQ35DE but then bring up swapped 240's? Odd logic. Not sure what Hondas you were thinking about either, S2000's are in another price range and everything else from Honda in that era loses to the Z off the line -- no traction, no torque. Out of the box in time attack, none of the cars you specifically mentioned have the clear upper hand on the Z33.

@youcanevaporate5961 2 года назад

@@jacquesc3166 All the cars I mentioned can be set up to compete with the 350z in time attack.. Any of the popular swaps for a 240 will out run a 350z ... They where just faster than average cars that's about it. They look cool though. One of the best looking cars from that time period.
