Man I thought I told you about the dot 5 in an abs system. It's a huge No-no. Lol. But that's really funny about the 370z. My car 1-3 is a complete joke. Lol. If I do a roll race I need a 60 roll. Lol.

Figured I'd start a chat thread. Why not
And what a better time to have a laugh at my expense? I was next to a 370Z last night, had some sort of exhaust but that doesn't matter much. Figured I'd be an ass and say "Do you really think you can beat me?" He replied, "Yeah, I do." With that said, we did a run from around a 10 roll and I had a lot of spin in 1st, grinded second (Common Si high rpm problem, I need a new CMC) and he jolted away. Was pulling HARD in 3rd but he cut me off I found out that I have no ABS because my tires were squeeeeeeeling when I slammed on the brakes - This means it's time to change my brake fluid again. DOT5 doesn't work properly in our cars because it's silicone based. Oh well, lesson learned.
Learned from my mistakes, I need to start out at about 20mph in 1st or I spool and spin my tires. Gotta lose some to win some

Yea I think I might just do DOT4 since it's easy to get. They even have it at Walmart And yea that has to suck, but you did sick at the track (with slicks IIRC). I just remembered that the guys who did it never bled the rear brakes and it has DOT3 OEM brake fluid, so I'm sure somethings mixed up. Hope my brakes are better, my heart drops when I try to slow down fast when I'm going ~100, car doesn't seem to slow down all too well. Goes from side to side a little :hiding: Trying to get my hands on a set of Full-Race Traction Balls but they just went from 207 to 299......

Yea I'd stick with Dot3-4 myself. Unless you delete abs. Then dot5 it up. As for the slicks. Yea I did ok. I cut some low 1.7's on em. I just need a 5 speed tranny which I'm getting soon.
And I didn't have a check valve in my brake booster so when I hit boost then went to slam the brakes it had boost in my brake booster not allowing me to engage the brakes until my car hit vacuum again. I left it like that for all of 5 mins lol.

Nice man, you pulled pretty hard in the first run. I'm liking the go-pro camera, how does it stick so well? Take a couple pics of it mounted if you don't mind
