no cost HP increase sure fire way

Call me crazy... I don't recall complaining about power issues with the 350Z regardless of temperature. It has enough torque for daily driving even though it doesn't pull as hard

Call me crazy... I don't recall complaining about power issues with the 350Z regardless of temperature. It has enough torque for daily driving even though it doesn't pull as hard to redline compared to the 370Z. I could've sworn the 350Z felt consistent regardless of temps.

Catch my attention with a false headline and then tell me what everybody knows already.

thats because the 350 didnt have the vvel which adds ALOT of heat in the engine.

This is just a social thread where people will unite and conversate off a known fact for most... but also is a new fact for new drivers that may not know.

You are right, i've been there. This engine is much more sensitive to temp. A radiator and oil cooler should keep it consistent. Ive been noticing the same as temp drops, im in Florida.

I had the G35 which pretty much had the same engine. I felt the engine bog down in that car as well... Maybe the Z is a little bit worse but both vq35 and vq37 seem to be boggy imho.
