A few questions about the 370Z engine

NYBladeZ · 05-06-2012, 11:50 PM

I say run a TT kit with e85 for maximum safe power. I know e85 provides less mileage and efficiency but if you can get around that do it. If you want a more "mild" build, I'd go GTM stage 2 s/c. We've seen Z's hold 500whp but as usual the tune must be spot on perfect. The GTM s/c won't cause you to push the limits. So to answer your question, yeah I'd say the motor is strong enough OEM to handle your "entry" level power desires. You'll need to upgrade the clutch and csc though.

Haha....Neither does the guy who tries to race him...

That would put your tail between your legs for sure..

Racing this guy is like doing a fat girl...You would never tell your friends...

And you cannot call it a race when you lose by 20 car lengths

Are you new to the import performance community? One of the 1st things I learned back in high school at the street races was... Don't mess with the DSMs. A race against a DSM has 2 possible outcomes:

1) You get walked. Bad.
2) the DSM blows up.

About 60 Miles south of Erie.

Oil City??

awdxtc · 05-07-2012, 08:25 PM

Here is a question, I know no one knows the answer but why don't they make the new nismo in Monterey Blue, wtf?

ShinyBlueZ · 05-07-2012, 08:51 PM

Nismo AND blue? The world couldn't handle that level of beauty and awesomeness. Car production throughout the world would just cease to continue.

Nissan withheld that lethal combination for the good of the industry.

awdxtc, she is a beast & she is a sleeper too. One would just think that she is stock, but would be like WTF after they got spanked at the "track."

awdxtc · 05-07-2012, 10:17 PM
