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.

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

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 :thumbsup:

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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....:rant:

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.

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
