1st Gen Kills 350Z!! **on VIDEO**
 
I had recently installed my Autometer Cobalt gauges, and was cruising around
town at night. I was recording them with my camera, to see how they look
on film at night without the "nightshot". They look pretty good BTW. When
I change my instrument cluster to the reverse indiglow, it will have a real
nice effect.

Anyway,

Without warning, a 350Z pulls up besides me, and the driver gives me
a "you're not worthy" glance.

I am only running 12PSI on this warm and humid Miami night, but this guy
obviouly doesn't know the big "Dirk Diggler" I have under the hood of my
stock looking GSL-SE.

There's a little more traffic than I would like, so I didn't think we would have much
of a chance to play, but we made do. I remembered to turn on the camera too.

Let's just say it was fun.
I should've switched to high-boost to make it REALLY embarrasing for him.
As it is, I was accused of Cheating..

I'll let the video speak for the rest of the scenario.

The video is not 56K friendly, and is a little over 80 megs - but it IS in
high-quality video, in 16:9 widescreen format. Put up the volume
too, it came out pretty good.

As soon as Vosko gives me the link, I'll post it.

After you see it, let me know what you think of the vid.

Wargasm 08-23-04 01:02 PM

Great vid.... Normally night vids suck but this one is good... :) :)

Molotovman 08-23-04 01:12 PM

Excellent man, just excellent. Your car is f-ing awesome. Very nice, where in florida do you live? If it's near orlando by altamonte springs could I go along for a ride sometime? My grandparents live down there.

vel525 08-23-04 01:48 PM

Great vid!! Nice kill.

BLKTOPTRVL 08-23-04 02:10 PM

Car looks great inside/outside. I did wonder though what the yellow light on the dash was that kept coming on/going off. I don't remember if the FB has an upshift light or not, but that is what it looked like.

hondasuck 08-23-04 02:12 PM

aznpoopy 08-23-04 03:09 PM

im a nissan owner but i can't stand cocky 350z owners.

rosey 08-23-04 03:11 PM

Thats great...everytime I see your car it makes me wish I had the guts to turbo my old 1st gen instead of selling it and buying a turbo 2nd gen. Great video...keep up the good work.

Oh yeah...and quite with the NAAAWWZZZ you cheater! :rlaugh:

SDrotary-FC 08-23-04 04:35 PM

rosati 08-23-04 06:44 PM

SIr rupert--- gaaaad i wanna see that girl! as well as the video my boy has a 350z and cant wait to show him! lolllll he thinks that an fd wont beat a TT 350 plzzzz 3500 pounds of shit !!!

RotaryBuddha 08-23-04 07:42 PM

damn ever time i see a pic or vid of your car i want to do that. fb 13b re sounds soooooooooo nice. are you running stock twin or larger single turbo

Eville140 08-23-04 08:11 PM

I had about the same run in with an 350z, but in the daylight.

rotor vs. piston 08-23-04 08:43 PM

Let me go change my shorts :) I need things like that to remember why I go threw all of the crap with my project. It owns all to beat a brand new "performance" car with what most people consider 20 year old scrap metal.

Hey, just be careful, your car is to good to waste man.

obviousboy 08-23-04 08:57 PM

just great....it put a huge smile on my face...
good job.......i want an FB now.

obviousboy 08-23-04 09:01 PM

im all pumped now..i gotta go work on my car

1RevvinFC3S 08-23-04 09:07 PM

Nice kill, but I am green with envy.

87na 08-23-04 09:17 PM

75 megs... why dont you re encode it in divx so it comes out to about 25 megs with the same quality?

JEC-31 08-23-04 09:25 PM

Damn that was directly freakin' awesome!!!!!

I love how quickly you disposed of that poor shmuck who A) could barely keep his car under control trying to shift and change lanes after a turn, and B) had the cluelessness about cars to accuse you of "cheating" in a chance-encounter street race.

DF you must realize that in-car footage made this the best post in many moons in the Kills section. Nice job editing, an excellent addition to my Best collection.

Do I sense the beginning of a Reign of Terror?

import_rican 08-23-04 09:47 PM

wow, I love the laugh afterwards... sounded like an villian laugh.. thanks for the vid!!!

a stock 350 doesnt have turbo's, its an n/a, if it has TT's on it then i doubt the FD will take it, unless its one hell of an FD

BDoty311 08-23-04 10:46 PM

Nice race, you just inspired me to get a turbo FB someday.

CronoMasamune 08-23-04 11:04 PM

Yea, a turbo FB is really my dream car. I think id rather have one than an FD

fd3s_rx7 08-23-04 11:05 PM

ur FB is hella sick... Make me want to get an FB too...
man, this vid. rock... EXCELLENT!!! 2 thumbs up!!!

Directfreak 08-24-04 01:09 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys, It means alot.
Especially the video comments, as it's only my 3rd video ever.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way people - 12PSI is "quick", not "FAST".
Even with that low boost, I came from behind and passed
a high 13/low 14 second car like nothing.

At 17PSI, my car is a completley different animal, and
is hard to keep in a straight line.

12PSI is about 315 to the wheels
17 PSI = close to 400 = Go after Vettes and Cobras
20 PSI = Look out Porsche Turbos..:D

GoodfellaFD3S 08-24-04 01:16 AM

Um.

The Greddy TT kit for the Z isnt anything special.

Direct from Greddy's magazine ads----trap speeds increase from 101.89 mph to 106.53 mph.

I am just a tad underwhelmed. You do realize that to get an FD to trap 106 is not exactly difficult, right?

RX7SpiritR 08-24-04 01:49 AM

that's such an evil laugh at the end! HAHA great kill. That's very funny!

jays83gsl 08-24-04 01:49 AM
