No fade but crack .. well it's ceramic and IMHO somewhat more prone
to
crack. But this is probably the cause that they put in the 4 pads and
the
angled caliper so there is probably much less cracking
danger.
BTW, I just heard that these brakes are also available for the

on 4/8/2000, the date

Where's this time

I'm ASSUMING the sun

Every track I've run at gave

I ran yesterday and the best time I could get was 13.75@102 that is
with a

was
running 13.2@108. I cant understand why I was so much slower then the

Also can anyone help me was it 1 quart transmission fluid that

Stock 300z @108? Anyone else believing "stock" there?
That sounds extremely
fast for a stock 300z, but I dunno,
maybe...
13.75 @ 102 doesn't sound too far off. I would think you
would be pulling more
power than that though with +1 bar boost. What
are your 60' times like?

when I made the realization that

Subject: Re:
Team3S: 1/4 mile times
That does seem somewhat slow,
what year is the vehicle? Was this your
first/only run so far, done
much racing on the street? A downpipe would probably
help a bit,
perhaps some other exhaust work, but that should make your car a
potential
12s vehicle. Experience will help a lot, and if it's a 94+ don't be
as
scared to drive it like you stole it.
With slip
clutch launches I managed a 13.64 my first day at the track, that
was with
just a Weapon-R filter and enough miles on my plugs and wires that
it
probably negated most of the advantage the filter gave me. On the
second day at
the track I managed a
13.36@102.54 and a 13.39@??? and these were
still with the
filter as my only mod. I'll all but guarantee you that a
300zx won't run
13.2@108 stock. I've yet to be impressed with even a
modified one. I'll have to
capture my race video that included one
300zx tt struggling for high 13s, I think
he finally managed to break into
the 13s once. If it was modified at all, that
just makes it
worse. I'm not sure if it was a manual tranny though, I'll have
to
watch the tape again. I was too busy laughing at how a car with
similar power
and weight could be so much slower than a Supra or even our
heavier cars. The
other one on the tape had some money in it and
couldn't run 12s. He was a great,
or lucky, driver and cut a .501
reaction time and beat my 12.8* run with a 13.1*
as he beat me to the end of
the track. I'd be willing to bet that a stock
300zx
couldn't run 13.2@108 even with race gas and slicks. That mph
would
require about 350 hp.

John, are you sure
it was "Accelerated Accessories" and not "Altered
Atmosphere" ? This, because
Matt from AccAcc is still paralized in the
hospital and he was the only one
who had a problem and this was a long time
ago before his accident. The
turbos have been sent back to GT PRO and have
been inspected as Matt said
something was wrong. Finally it wasn't as the
turbos have been installed in a
nother car and do their work without a
problem (8000 miles on the car since
then).
The oil seals have never been a problem because GT PRO uses the
stock
Mitsubishi parts there (hybrids) ! If there would be a problem it must
be
caused by a bad job during the installation.
Yes, there is some
more lag as the peak boost difference is about 1000rpm
compared on the 9b and
the 368s (20g size).
As Mike from AltAtm is on the list too, he should be
able to tell us the
experience about the 16g he has on the car for over a
year and about the lag
and driveability he told Matt about.
But, to
me, this sounds like politics as there are people who say the ARC
isn't good
and people return them. Interestingly this is often said from
people who
haven't tried the stuff by themselves.
For myselfs, I expect a huge lag
from that damn large 368s turbos (the sx
are better !) as they look like an
overkill to me. Anything larger than 15g
will cause more lag as we can't
tweak the physics. A good convertion with
another case or turbine wheel may
help and this is why GT PRO uses bored out
turbine housings and wheels for
the larger turbos. And for me the ability to
simply bolt the turbos on to the
car without the hassle and headeache around
exhaust manifold and cutting
stock pieces was important too.
We'll see soon.... I just broke my
pulley/balancer as I was abe to get the
bolt off ... yes, I will join the
dark side (speak underdrive pulley) as a
new one is so extremely expensive
here ($320 !!!) ! I do not feel that good
but money plays a little rule now
:-/ The car should be ready in the first
stage in two weeks and then I shoudl
be able to tell you more about the lag
of the large
turbos.

I
don't know, you tell me! You're the one experiencing such
behavior.
> BTW Mr Mattews, We're just posting there our
EXPERIENCES, and we're just
> trying to understand WHY we had
them.
And I'm just repeating (vs. interpreting) what's covered in
the
Mitsubishi-produced training videos. Go ahead, shoot the
messenger! Perhaps
next time folks should provide only the
documentation that obviously supports
your position and experience? No,
I don't think so. What I'll do is transcribe
the pertinent parts of the
ABS segment of the video, and you can make of it what
you will. Here
you go:
"With ABS, stopping distances can actually increase on
surfaces such as snow and
gravel. Without ABS, loose material can build
up in front of the tire, which
creates a barrier that helps slow the vehicle,
but steering control is not
maintained."
"The anti-lock braking system
used in the 3000GT is identical to the system used
in the Eclipse. It
consists of the ECU, ABS power relay and diode, four wheel
speed sensors,
G-force sensor, stoplight switch, valve relay and motor relay."
"Front
wheel drive ABS uses three independent control channels, one for
the
front-left wheel, one for the front-right wheel and one for the rear
wheels
combined. The system operates on "select-low," meaning the ABS
impacts the
channel with the lowest speed."
"All wheel drive vehicles
require two-channel systems to prevent driveline
vibration during anti-lock
braking. Excessive vibration can occur because the
front and rear axles
are mechanically locked together through a common
driveline. The
pulsing rear wheels will tend to control the front wheels, too,
and because
of play in the long, heavy drivetrain, the front wheels will lag
behind the
rear wheels. This causes torsional, or twisting, vibration between
the
front and rear axles. When the front wheel speed drops, the
front
controlled channels will start to pulse the front wheels
independently. But
since all wheels are connected through the
driveline, you get a lot of
drivetrain windup and vibration."
"So, we
use a two-channel system that locks three wheels together in
one
channel. Which three wheels are linked depends on which wheel
starts to lock
first. By linking and pulsing three wheels together in
one control channel, we
reduce drivetrain vibration."
"Of course, the
free turning wheel in the remaining channel could also lose
traction and
start to lock, and then we would lose our vehicle speed reference.
The ABS
computer wouldn't know if the vehicle were simply stopping quickly on
a
high-traction surface, or not stopping at all, because all four wheels
are
locked. This is why two-channel ABS requires a G-sensor
input. A G-sensor is
used to measure the deceleration rate of the car
when it comes to a stop. It
sends an additional input to the ECU to
help it calculate when ABS is required.
The G-sensor helps braking on slick
surfaces on which wheels may lock up upon
light brake
application."
"Another difference with AWD ABS is the additional output
signal from the ABS
ECU to the fuel injection system (ECM) requiring an idle
increase during ABS
operation. Idle-up, as it's called, reduces the
likelihood of the engine
stalling during ABS braking. The long, heavy
drivetrain takes a long time to
recover once it starts to lock up, so idle-up
prevents stalling by keeping the
wheels turning above the minimum
speed."
I won't attempt to draw any conclusions from this to theorize
the behavior of
your vehicle. This is simply HOW IT WORKS. Best
of luck.

Extreme Turbo from Alabama has given me the option of using the

driving. While blasting down the long straight at
BIR I observed
that towards the end of the straight the engine temp climbed

to 240. Once I let off the gas it dropped back to 220
almost
instantly. I was going about 140 mph in 4th gear when I
observed
this.
I have read on this list that 240 degrees is not
harmful to the engine. I
think the sharp rise in engine temperature is
a bit uncomfortable. Didn't
someone just have to rebuild their engine
after overheating at an open track
event?
I'm wondering if the engine
temperature was climbing so sharply due to high
discharge temps from the
stock turbos - does this seem reasonable? Is this
something to be
concerned about, or are engine temps like this not harmful
to the
engine?
My car has a K&N, no cats, Borla exhaust, NGKs gapped at
.037, boost control
set at 14.2 PSI. I was running pump gas and the
ambient was 80F+.

Trevor,
I was looking at
your times. You can hit
12.65@107.9 with your
stock
turbos? I ran yesterday and the best time I could get was 13.75@102
that is
with a k&n and ApexI set at 1.05. I kept getting beat by a stock
300zx that
was running 13.2@108. I cant understand why I was so much slower
then the
stock 300zx.
Also can anyone help me was it 1 quart
transmission fluid that you substitute
with your oil to stop the annoying
ticking?

Team3S: RE: Team3s: Active exhaust removal
The active exhaust for my
Stealth turbo ain't so active anymore. Can I just
remove the valve so the
exhaust will go out both pipes? As it is now the valve
is stuck just a little
open so there is a majority of the exhaust going out only
one set of rear
pipes.
Thanks all.

If I was to set up a database-driven times list,
would people use it? Could
it be linked-to from 3si.org? I
noticed that the list there has only 5
entrants, the best time of which is
13.8, which I personally know at least
10 people who are faster than that
(including myself)!

Cullen123@aol.comSubject: Team3S: Base
Stealth
Hello, I'm new to the list, and I have a deep green '92 base
Stealth. Yes,
the weak one, only 164 horse :\ Well.... I
been reading back on some of the
archives and noticed two discussions that
interested me. The first, about
negotiating corners. I took a 15
mph turn at about 30 or so, 2nd gear, and
being a bad driver, ended up
sliding into the curb and messin up my
suspension. I heard all this
talk about drifting and tails swinging out, but
I straight up slid into the
curb. I think a contributing factor was harsh
let up on the gas and
bad tires (Toyo's heh) So my car is currently sitting
in my garage
with the front right suspension ripped out, I bent and cracked
just about
everything under there possible, had to order an entire new setup,
luckily
local u-pull it had the entire deal for $270. Sounds like Mike in
Michigan is having some of the same problems I was. The shop told me
get
just the lower control arm replaced, but when I took a look at it
myself, I
noticed stretch marks and stress fractures on just about every
suspension
component in there. Might wanna check that out for noise
culprits.
Anyone have any idea why my heater/air conditioner fan aint
pumping out any
air? It blows all the fuses I stick in there. I
am thinkin there might be a
short somewhere, probably the fan motor.
The problem started after I left my
car idling, trunk open, and the stereo
up while I was playing basketball. I
didn't know it was bad to let
your car idle for 45 minutes :\ Any comments
would be
appreciated.

My good

www.teamspeedzone.com and go to
the featured car. Should have all the parts
and part numbers needed,
as well as prices.

I'm not
sure about removing the valve, but it is usually very easy to fix
(see
instructions at
http://user.icx.net/~adams/repair_main.htm).
Once fixed, you
can simply leave it in sport mode, and if it seizes again,
either fix it again
or forget about it (since it will be in sport
mode). Note that in sport mode,
most of the exhaust will exit out of
the driver's-side pipes - this is normal!

track times on the 'net (was Re: Team3S: 1/4 mile times)
Woah there
guys.. a little news before you guys go off on your own...
We're going to
have a database driven track times site for ec3s.org (East Coast 3000GT/Stealth,
an East Coast concentration of 3SI for the most part, there will be a West Coast
version in the near future by Rob Flynn). EC3S will get it's times from
3000GT.COM and 3SI.ORG. And actually, the way things are going
to be soon, is, when ever someone updates their membership info on 3SI.org, the
track times will be given to 3000GT.COM so it can be updated appropriatelyor its
track times. I'm trying to get some stuff settled with 3000GT.COM's host and
we're having a blast trying to get in touch with the guy who actually owns
3000GT.COM (the domain name) and pays the bills for the host.
I think
that's all I've got to ramble about right now. BTW, if you're on (or near) the
East Coast (did you go to Ocean City?) then go join EC3S (
http://www.ec3s.org/join.html).. soon
I'll have an internal messaging system set up and some other nifty stuff.
