I was here too? :ugh2:

Made it. :tup:

Tastes like copper in here...

How the Hell did I end up here? Damned faulty navigation! Again!

Hey JC. You better start posting here before this thread goes sideways.

Too late?

:excited::excited::excited:

Zero chance this doesn’t go sideways

Bout to take a nap; I’ll crank it up a bit later :wtf2:

:ohsnap1:

And it already begins

:wtf2:

I’m gonna start this one off by paying tribute to my 2011 Base/Touring that I had a thrill with & though it was killed ... I’m very fortunate to be around :tup:

Though it brought me great pleasure; not gonna grind on the past :iagree:

The end :eek:

Round #2 A 2013 Sport/Touring with 123,000mi. & potential leaky head gasket for $5,000.00 :tiphat:

This is the one under construction :tup:

Engine out 8/22/20 & delivered to MazWorx 10/24/20

Fingers crossed mazworx goes 2 for 2 with their vq engine builds. :tup:

Are you going to give spooler a run for his $$ or are you gonna be conservative and only go for around 800 whp? :icon17:

LOL, he has Elmo370z ahead of him. Then I have another one behind him that is sold.

4for4 then. :tup:

Wait are you building another z?

Conservative with the built 7A/T :ugh2:
Hopefully 750-800max on high boost :tiphat:

So, what going in to replace the 7at once you kill it? :icon17:

Wonder if the new z 9at will be able to hold more power and be somewhat bolt in to older z’s?

:pics:

Hopefully the IPT build will hold at 800whp, as if not...will be using an adapter & installing a built 4L80e :eek:

Built 4L80E, you’re halfway to an ls swap then...:happydance:

Nooo, this VQ will be good for up to 40# boost :iagree:
I’ll be able to dial it on up with sturdier trans. :eek:
Just unsure how far & what would break first :ugh2:

What are you doing or need to do reg. driveshaft and or driveshaft safety loop, and the rear diff and axles?

Current rear differential has 3.357 gears & Quaife helical, rear axles are ordered...108/115 DSS Pro-Level w/upgraded outer bearings.
Carbon fiber shaft is factory for now; planning to add a hoop or 2...but DSS makes those if this one fails.
I’m trying to beef up known areas of failure; I’ll know more when I start hooking at the strip.
Planning to pick up a 3.90 diff for 1/4 mile, but should do pretty good with what I have. :ugh2:

Ford 9 inch with a quick change rear end. :driving: :happydance:

Seriously tho, sounds like you’ve got those bases covered. :tup:

Not yet...gonna stay all Nissan as long as it’s working :hello:

Only one way to find out!!

At 25psi the car is not very drivable with the stock ECU. 700whp is the sweet spot for the chassis. You can dial it up all you want but going from A to B will be a problem.

I’m in. Here to give technical advice as needed...
