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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
