GT-R turbos on the VQ37

Are you in too deep to switch gears? If there is eventually an intercooler kit to go along with these adapters, what comes out of this thread could be a real game changer in terms of TT cost of admission. Probably even cheaper than the GTM group buy pipedream. Though something like that is probably a ways out.. and I don't know what husam's plans for this design are.

Not really. Going to be placing my order on a billet crank here in the next few months. So I have till then to decide. I not so much into power but want something reliable for constant abuse at the track.

Makes sense... Though I would worry that the extra revs from a max NA build would put more stress on the motor that some light boosting.. but it sounds like you are planning for that with your upgrades. Track-level abuse is not in my wheelhouse as I have never actually driven on one. Hope to take some driving lessons one day though.

Surprised I haven't seen you around town!

I still vote BOOST =)

I'm hoping to get a group buy going as soon as I finish up my install. I have a few people who contacted me already who bought the GTR turbos and are waiting for my adapters.

It even looks like the GTR intercooler fits with some modification, so that makes it even cheaper!

If one was to get a good deal on the turbos/intercoolers from the GTR (I've seen someone selling that plus all piping for around 1k on the GTR forum) then the cost to boost the Z is under 4k! Now that obviously doesn't include clutch etc and doesn't include the cost to fabricate some of the pipes if you had someone do it for you.
