hahaha we are hoping to rip a 220+ standing mile! I think I may need to have a new tach made lol at the end it will say PLAID... I will also have an indicator light at 88mph that says 1984 too. :tup:

We will see I got a lot of stuff about to go down that may include new parts being designed to widen fenders and new hood designs too...

Widen the rear fenders? Damn dude you're talking about some major cutting, I wouldn't do it you can (if you haven't already) throw 12in tires on the rears. Anything bigger and it'll be really hard to go tire shopping, destroying the "daily driver" aspect of it.

I thought you were getting the Zele kit?

I am getting the Zele kit. These are just going to be wider fenders for the front for sure the rear is a maybe. Also, there is a possibility of a new hood design.

Need to take that beast to the salt flats one day?

This guy built his 370Z earlier this year: Nissan 370Z Forum - View Profile: soaka1

So that settles that.

Cool, good find! I wish he was a more active member...

Yum, Carrillo. My dream setup would be Carrillo rods and Wiseco pistons.

Subbed!

yep subbed

What you should really try to get out of this whole build more so than a 220mph standing mile. "The GT-R's "high-speed driving test"-the front passengers enjoying an easy conversation without raised voices at 186 mph". You should figure out how to do that at 220 ;) :tup:

Hahaha the wind noise alone would make you have to raise your voice lmao. Good Idea though lol I just don't think it's gonna be a long convo at 220+ hehe :tup:

Bullitt I got a question. Thus far no one has been able to crack the VVEL tuning. What are you guys using for engine management? Do you think you'll be the first to crack VVEL?

Subscribed:tup:

Bladez,

We are using F-con for management. As far as cracking the vvel that is a question for sam...

What makes this so hard to crack. Mike maybe you can explain to me how this all works. I know there is a seperate timing for for the valves, Is that the issue tunners are having? What would be the benefit if you do crack it.

It seems that the ECU keeps kicking back to stock timing settings. Of course tuners are stating that the settings are "so perfect" that changing them effects many other variable and thus can't be done safely. Personally, sounds like they don't want to put in the time. However, Smokey from Top Secret has the time and I believe we rewrote it from the code, but they are still developing their TT kit. All in all, first one who properly tunes timing is going to be making $$$.

This is the last response I got from Uprev, fairly clear on what they want, and hopefully in time we will see companies picking up this engine and help the process along.

That statement from them is very true, but there will be gains to be had for the turbocharged Z community. Spool up, primarily.

Update my wheels arrived at GTM!!! Finished the paperwork and should have new Yokohama sponsored tires in too :-)

:drool: Me want sponsors tooooooo...

It's kinda like an avalanche once you get a few they all start to fall in place... It also helps to have a cover shoot and a SEMA booth in Vegas this year :tup:

Cant wait to see more of this baby.....

Dreamer - did UR really say this....
as with everything else in the Nissan tuning market we'll be the people that develop the technology and the other manufacturers will simply copy our work.
Thats a bold one....

Back on track, FCON will do this build proud

bullitt

I will see you at sema!

That is a copy paste from my email inbox.

Sweet dude! Are you going to be in a booth?

See ya there :tup:

Hello Mike, I'm here to :stirthepot: while waiting for pictures of the VR38 plenum on our VQ motor.

http://www.the370z.com/members/digit...over-check.jpg

Hahahaha you can put that cover on all day long it doesn't mean you got a gtr plenum in there... Lol :tup: love the pic!!!

ya right not my 400 hp car comapred to your 1000hp cmon really lol jk
my car wont be in the booth. I will be attending the event with my sponsers.

sweet I will see you there buddy

:rofl2: I just got it today from a member over at NAGTROC. Next up is the plenum, but there's no hurry since I probably won't pull the FI trigger until sometime late next year.

Much thanks to your project, I'm hoping GTM will make the hardware to get the Stage 1 TT kit working with the VR38 plenum available. Black powder coated intake tubes please! :excited:

No polished to match pipes :happydance:

Haha he should get his gtr mani PC'd the same color as his intake pipes! ;)

Haha, good point. I'm not after the bling factor for this project, but more of a stockish look and plain black intake pipes. I messaged another member in the NAGTROC forum for parts. He has a couple of VR38 engines sitting around, so I'm going to try to get the intake collector from him.

Mike, do you know if this project involves swapping for the VR38 lower intake manifold?

Not sure but I don't think so... We need to ask Sam!

Please let me know when you find out from Sam, so I know what else I can get from the VR38 engine. Hopefully you can get some more pictures of your build in progress. Thanks! :tup:

Is this done yet?....:stirthepot:

I think there holding out to drop the 1000hp thread at once. Then that will free up time for Sam to answer the hundred of questions to come.

Can't wait it'll be kicka$$...
