so is your Z the only 370z that is actually having the motor built and reinforced to withstand higher PSI?

Can't wait to see the finished product!

But this isn't going to end up as one of those big build projects where due to a turn of events, the owner/creator has to part with the car for cost savings? That would be a real downer...


You're gonna have so much fun when it's done lol. ah0le...

No offense, but I doubt that. If I've read about at least 1 instance of somebody having a "built motor" on a fairly obscure 370Z community, then there are bound to be at least a handful of other built engines out in the wild. It doesn't cost that much to swap forged internals into a V6. Somebody with pockets almost as deep as yours has almost certainly blown a VHR under boost, and has long since replaced it with a built version.

If what you're saying is true, call up every Z performance house and ask if anybody has ordered any forged pistons or rods for the 370Z yet.

I really admire the work GTM is doing on your car, but claims like I quoted above kind of make you look like an ***...

Well, he's the only built Z that's documented on the internet is what I think he really means.

And you know just as well as I do that nothing is real until it's been confirmed by the internet.

Let's not rain on his parade. All that matter is that he has one awesome project, and kudos to him for what is a large investment that will help this community, future customers (for parts), builders, and tuners.

I already have plans with FsP (got the gauges so far). It's nowhere near as crazy as Mike's project, but it will simply involve a GTM Stage 1 kit AND (hopefully) a VR38 intake plenum (which is why I'm here)!!! It will become a reality once I get everything.

Ok well to be technical; lets just say he is the first in recorded history!

There is a built 370z flying around here in South Florida. I am about 97% sure it is built.

I remember seeing it when I finished installing the S/C on my 350z.

I know I've asked this before, but if you go with a stroker kit can you raise your redline running 12.5:1 compression? My mechanic has an e46 m3. He built the motor (no stroker or sleeves) and he's running 12.5:1 compression. He said anything higher then that will require race fuel and he has his redline LIMITED to 8500. Nissan saw it to fit the Z with a 9K tach, I've love to get it as close to that as I can on a built short or long block.

They also saw it to fit the car with a 180 mph speedo. It's all marketing.

I'm sure bullitt can get it there when all this is said and done. If an N/A inline 6 can do it I'm sure the vq37 can.
