I don't see why some of you get so offended that people want to know it's Mercedes sourced or if the RAW block comes from the Mercedes...???

REST ASSURED...

Unreliability in Mercedes is usually not ENGINE SOURCED.
Mercedes, like most German cars have u reliability in its electronic systems. But not as bad as BMW. Audi has now surpassed Mercedes in reliability.

Benz engines are solid. The merger between Nissan and Mercedes was so Mercedes can increase reliability and durability in their DCT transmission also Nissan's experience tuning the GTR Suspensions. Nissan has done that. Nissan needed better engine technology in there sports cars for more fuel efficiency and power numbers.
Mercedes has done that...
So even if Nissan developed the VR all by themself. It was done by learning a few things about engines from Benz first.

They need us.. we need them.

Cut the wack *** Nissan sub premium false pride... Be happy happy for the merger because the sharing of technology between them has made all this happen..

Don't lie to yourselves.

All I know is, my current Z will be paid off by 2017, so I'll be ready and waiting :)

It's either that or a 4C, as it looks like Toyota nixed a boosted FR-S, so bring on the Z35!!!

Seriously, how bad could it be? If it sucks that bad, I'll get a 2015 Nismo with the sexy new body kit and swap out my headers, shocks, etc. as needed :D

Posted this in the other thread forgot to here as well

Stolen talking about the pros and cons of the new engine from an aftermarket perspective.

:icon17:

Oh that just put a huge smile on my face!

I bet the 300 hp one can be easily tweaked upwards quite a bit if the 400 hp version is substantially more money.

I cant wait to see that bad boy dropped inside a Z35 :excited:

Hope they get their hands on the Q50/60 with this engine and develop a roots type supercharger...imagine a tri-charged Z :ohsnap1:

FI TT on the 3.7 w/10psi boost (on 91octane) puts down rear wheel #'s equivalent to a brand new GTR @ the crank!
I'm satisfied w/what i have.

But a block built for boost can go much higher than the 3.7 without going boom.

Also why are you only on 91 octane? Should be up on 93 lol

Not everywhere gets 93

Sounds like awful places to live.

Ever see "The Walking Dead"? It's worse. I seen stuff man...

:icon18:

Colorado only gets up to 91 ^

Just going by the chart; yes I have 93 & access to unleaded ethanol free 100.Attachment 110651
Maybe a tad off on the numbers/ but you see what I'm talking about.
Yes- stock bottom end is good for 15psi boost (from literature I've studied) with proper tune.

Guess I should feel privileged to have always had access to 93 now more and more places with e85

Houston doesn't get 93 and Dallas does? Why?

im not the guy with the answer to that. guess i'm just lucky PA has had 93 for as long as i can remember.

plus theres a track about 20 min away that carries 93/98/100/110 there (if i would ever need such fuels) and a good bit of stations carry e85 now around me.

didn't mean for it to be quite so big; these are ethanol free station's.
un-sure if the higher octane one's contain lead. :)

Glad I live in the east coast :)

That's what I thought. All of Texas shouldn't have that issue. I'm guessing Jwick moved from Houston?

Never lived anywhere else. I run 93 everyday. Was just pointing out to Presto that some places only get 91.

oh I know I thought it was pretty much just the tree huggers in cali and those deep in the woods lol

There are some places in Texas that only offer 91. I've ran into it on road trips before. Southern Texas, the heart of the U.S. Gas refining, gets the good ****.

I really hope the new engine will have similar tunability to the n54/55 motors.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - we have 93 everywhere, WTF?!

idk if i want to wait for the new z to come out or go with the c7 now

just wait. as good as the C7 is may be a great car in the new Z plus the AWD version on the Q60 with 400 hp TT could be even better yet.

also if buick puts out that new coupe they showed this morning I may be goin g that way lol 400hp tt v6 on the alpha (Camaro) platform with sexy styling. mmmmmmmhmmmm

thanks.. now i'll have to wait even longer lol

Did I see automatic only for that Infiniti? No manual or dual clutch option?

it means.....

a. its the right choice since it's better.

b. there no DCT to take away from the GT-R allure.

:facepalm:

:stirthepot:

if it doesn't have a manual, i don't want it.

:iagree:

Q60 just debuted

2017 Infiniti Q60 Coupe debuts with 400-hp V6

"All engines will shift through an adaptive seven-speed automatic transmission. G'bye, manual gearbox."

You can cross this car off my future possible purchase list.
