Looks like it went to ludicrous speed in video!
Can you talk about your alignment strategy?

1992 Kilder Green VR4 - First 4G swap in a 3S. 2.0, auto, awd. 9.65 at 143mph. Now LS swapped. 8.52 at 162.
Great Runs!
I'm glad you get to post vids of your progress with the car after various of tweaks and setup swaps - it's cool to watch it evolve from back when it was virtually bpu esque to now with a turbo swap and seeing the gains.

Ahhh… Yeah, figured as much, but now I think I get the reference...![]()
It spun and wheel-hopped badly banging into 2nd on that run – that was a first for me at the track.
I’ll follow up on detailed alignment specs as I don’t have them in front of me. The front setup is mostly personal preference. On the rear, the short answer was to remove as much negative camber in the rear as the stock hardware will allow, with very very minimal toe. I went from what was a fairly aggressive, more road race-oriented alignment (-2.8deg) to my current setup (-0.45) and it made a HUGE difference, especially on the street.
That's a HUGE part of this hobby for me. A lot of the fun is tracking the incremental changes and learning what works and what doesn't. What's BS and what's fact in the real world, etc...![]()
I’d rather have an NSX.Honestly, I have zero interest in owning a 300ZX. I came close to buying one a few times, but I’ve pretty much lost all interest at this point. Other than owning one just to say I’ve had all of the 90’s supercars, it doesn’t really serve a tangible purpose for me. I’ve been around them long enough through friends and acquaintances that I’ve learned enough by proxy to know all I need to know about them.

The NSX is on my list of cars to own. You can pick up a clean example, enjoy it for however long and then re-sell it for easily what you've got into it. Not really an 'investment', but you can park money there and recoup later little risk. Sounds familiar...Coincidentally, the guy I picked the '99 VR-4 up from had a black NSX-T that was his daily.
I think I know who you bought that car from. So he sold it instead of keeping it and mode it.
