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 :)

The twin throttle on the 'Ultimate' car is good to see

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

Behold! The VQ35HR

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
