R35 Parts And The Vq37Vhr

[scarf]

GDay

Im in the US at the moment and wanted to bring over a TT setup from GTM. After discussing with a guy who did this to his 370z, he advised not to do it, due to refabrication of pipes (a lot of work)

Ive heard that the g35s, 37s, have the same block as the R35 gtr, but with less displacement. So their internally strong. Probably why they are pushing out unreal HP with these TT kits on low boost with stock internals.

My question is can we use parts that come off the R35 such as the turbos, intercooler, piping etc?? There are so many ownes now pulling these things off in Aus, so wondering if any of us can utilise them.

What have you been smoking?

i want some please!!

last time i checked the V36 used a VQ series engine, the R35 uses a VR series engine. not the same.

Get me two!

And no, they are not internally strong as far as FI goes. You won't be making 700hp like a GTR.

Its a great NA motor, not a FI motor. But they can be made into one with a big wallet

believe it or not Im not the only one on the planet that thought they had similarities.

Thread below ansers eveything and with plenty of pics and detail.

There strong enough when FI'ed. I cant be bothered to find out what 600rwHp is at the fly, but thats with stock internals. Im after around 450 - would like to keep stock exhaust and use the smallest turbos possible. According to that thread, the car still feels stock??? So it aint a pig. I'll be visting GTM within the 3 motnhs that Im over here to see if they do something for RHD.

Have a read of this thread below.

450 is attainable. But I doubt you would still be able to use the stock exhaust. Its all about how long you want the motor to last.

Have you considered Supercharging? HERE is a link to a Stillen supercharger for G37/370Z - 515hp at fly, 438hp at wheels - according to them.

Whatever you consider, turbo or otherwise, make sure it will fit 1) a auto car (guessing yours is), and 2) a RHD car 3) fuel that is available in Aust.

Other than that- go nuts

Oh, and if its an auto, you'll need some work to the box to take the torque.

There's also a reason why the VQ35 motor has earned the title "glass bottom end" when it comes to FI. Tougher conrods are a must if you want any longevity.

the VQ25DET rods are massive in comparison

Wanting to keep the stock exhaust so it stays quite. My last wrx would literally shake the walls of our unit. Was never popular with my neighbours.

Ive always had turboed cars, celica gt4, soarer TT, R33 gtst, wrx, so Im biased towards turbo's, but I did have a look into the Stillen supercharger.

wasn't aware of that. I went into a 350z site and had a little bit of a read and it didnt look like many of them were upgrading the rods?

They won't be making good power on the stock rods. It is a fairly cheap exercise for them as a set of Eagle rods starts at only $500, I don't know why they wouldn't upgrade.

labour costs. Z33 owners dont like getting their hands dirty

^ Lucky Stagea drivers do... don't know what that makes me...

Anyway, I just thought so should look into Supercharging a bit more, if you want to keep the stock exhaust. I think it would be tough to keep a stock one and still twin turbo it. That being said, what you are really after is not necessarily a stock exhaust, but one that doesn't produce more db than a stock.

I understand because atm I have a Honda tuning place up the valley from me... and I can hear the same car on the dyno for about 30mins now....

[zei20l]

hmm raspy honda sound lol

with the stock system you wont get as much power as you may be chasing. but agreed that a low volume system that flows is just as good!

VTEC just kicked in yo....

Couldn't help myself.

Mate I feel sorry for you......probably got a big ass canon and getting tuned for an extra 3kw.

Your right, I can do with an aftermarket exhaust, just as long as its not loud.

There are a lot (hell of a lot) of g35s and g37s here. Also the M series. Most are driven by families and I get no feeling of 'whoa a g' over here. Just Nissans version of the Camry or Commodore. But they are still a great car, even though they are common.

Those TT cars from GTM are suffering from heating issues. They cant seem to run for very long without high oil/ engine temps. Revzone in Melb has put one of these kits on a 370z. Its running some crazy numbers.
