Here is Option's article on the VQ powered car race at this year's Nismo Festival.

http://www.jdm-option.com/eng/feature/05_12/z33_v35.html

It has been 3 years since the Fuji Speedway has been the platform for the NISMO Festival. The standard agendas the Option team follow is to cover the GT-Rs and the Silvias. However, our sights have shifted towards the battle of the Z33 and V35 from this event. There has never been a venue like this before; where 12 of Japan's best tuned Z33 and V35 are modified within the given regulations for a head to head showdown.

While most of them are 350Z's, there are some guys using the V35 Skylines too.

Makes for pretty interesting reading, especially if you're interested in seeing where the Japanese guys are going with VQ NA tuning.

Thanks for posting that scathing ;)

The twin throttle on the 'Ultimate' car is good to see, the next GT-R is probably going use a seperate surge tank set up though similar to the SuperGT Z33.

Autech Tsukada (Attakd) are probably at the top when it comes to quick laps and time attacks. I wouldn't be suprised of some of those cars could place at a GT300 meeting.

There are some great tuning and set up hints for the 350z boys in their.

Makes for some great reading.

The Tuning houses in Japan really have no real performance car to work with, really ,do they?

The car Manufactures all were bought out , and made to make washing machines :)

I suppose this is there way of giving all the car manufacturers in Japan the one-finger salute.

Keep up the good work...

I have seen these highly tuned 350z's race in Japan.

Trust me they are very heavy in the rear and if it starts raining the race goes into smash mode and

the race is stopped.

Cheers :)

You might also be interested to know that next year's 350Z / Skyline is also getting twin throttle / intake technology.

Behold! The VQ35HR

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
