Yikes, I don't like this thread

Very true, and I am thinking along the same lines as you, but the sweat, joy, experience, and tears that comes along with building a custom car cannot be beat;). Check out what the underdog can do with built motor and GTM kit. Just imagine what a lighter 370z with just a turbo kit can do!

2012 GTR R35 vs G35 Sedan GTM Stage 3 twin turbo kit - YouTube

And to follow up that I would love to see who has the most miles on their FI stock block with details on boost settings.... I have a buddy just outside of dallas with 350z , single turbo APS system with over 100k as his dailey driver.. Keep in mind it does burn oil now but still runs great...

Damn, i should just buy an M3, i need 4 doors soon! haha.

I'll spank a stock GTR. Price difference of upgrading a gtr is even more insane than what we pay for the 379 m g37. There's more to it than just the price tag of a car. To maintain and/or upgrade a gtr will cost u a pretty penny. If money wasn't a problem gtr all day.

I do love the GTR because of everything it can do and it has great styling, I just think the 370 looks hotter.

I would say phunk & I have probably the highest miles.
He has cracked 50k on his greddy TT kit with stock block and I am about to break or have (need to check my logs) 50k with a GTM stage 1 SC kit.

And I thought I was doing great with 10k miles. Good to hear u guys still running strong.

I read cracked and flinched a little with all this talk of blown motors!

At this point at 4k with no problems. My FI 3' exhaust should ship Friday and I will drive to Z1 in atl for a tune.... I stay right around 10psi but have wicked it up a few times... muahahahahaha!!!!

how many people have darton sleeves? The more I read this thread the more I think Ill end up buying some forged internals before the TT so to have peace of mind

I don't think anyone has sleeved these motors. Maybe that 1 "1k" hp Z but I'm not sure.

...well its a vq35

Lol... specify man. On the 35 yes there's a few but I think just a handful.

I'm around 57k miles right now, and the kit was installed at 22k miles. It was daily driven for the past 1.5 years with max boost around 9 PSI. It's not a daily anymore, but [knock on wood] the motor seems to be holding up well. With test pipes, the exhaust note is a bit quieter for some reason. [shrugs]
