Stillen supercharged | Clutch kit or Quaife Diffy

NissanTracker

I am at 375wHP on the stock Stillen pulley. It's about to tick over 60k miles. About 5K miles on the supercharger. I did have plans to go to the next size up... 9lb i believe. Should hurdle me over the 400. Thats really it. Pushing the in-tank fuel system at that point. No plans for 500 on this platform.

I am going to a 370z nismo for next year and will go for 650-700wHP. Actually just picked up a blown motor to start the build during the summer.

I was able to find a reputable tuner do my tune I had AAM Competition tune my 350Z and tune was spot on obviously as I never blew the VQ35DE. On stock pulley I was able to make 380 whp very good for this platform as with just the stock pulley Stillen Kit I was able to break the clutch and put it on the flatbed. I wouldn’t recommend doing anything more than the 9 psi. pulley on your stock bottom end as you will be running on borrowed time and maxing out your fuel system I honestly wouldn’t do anything past the stock Stillen pulley with out upgrading. Rebuilding your VQ35DE would be your best option in my opinion. You will like upgrading to the 370Z Nismo because ultimately more power can be made easier to you comparing to the 350Z. I wish you the best of luck with your build should really be interesting for you putting down that much power.

Luckily, i have an 07 Nismo... which is running the VQ35HR motor. From what I have been told and read, bottom end can take more torque than the DE.

I test drove a 2018 Nismo a few weeks ago. Similar feel to my nismo. Recaro seats are awesome. Almost bought it. $34K with only 5K miles. I am hoping Nissan releases some info about the rumored VR30DDTT powered Z.

The VQ35HR engine does have more potential and in the end will hold more power than the VQ35DE. The 2018 Nismo Z is one excellent vehicle to own if you can swing it. Nissan is smart because they are not releasing any information really about their up coming Z35 model it is only speculation and rumor. If you want to trade in or sell you 07 Nismo Z the new Z35 will be well worth the wait. Depending on what power plant Nissan decides to use in the Z35 model I may possibly purchase one?
