Nope, which kinda sucks cuz the Z32 was Twin Turbo.

I think this car would have been crazy if from factory with Twin Turbos.

Guess Nissan was saving it for the GTR, LOL!

But as Bluprint said, aftermarket companies have made TT Kits for them. I think HKS was the first in Japan, then other companies did it and APS (Air Power Systems) did it in Melbourne.

GReddy was the first to release theirs.

APS and Power Enterprise released theirs soon after, I'm not sure which was first.

HKS' twin turbo kit is relatively recent. Their released a Rotrex supercharger kit for the car first, then a single turbo, then the twins.

Quite a few US companies have released some (JWT, Turbonetics) which apparently are quite good value if you live over there.

There has never been a twin turbo 350Z. The closest to factory supported you'll find is the Nissan UK developed 350Z GTS, powered by a Novidem supercharger. It never went in to production.

Cool man, thanks for that update!

Yeah I talk to a guy on Fast Autos Forum (FAF) and he is now on my350z.com and he is thinking about the supercharger if not twin turbos.

They are quite the popular car over in the USA.

if i got a 350z (which i did consider but leaned back to the skyline coz my gf has a 350) i would go a plenum spacer and full stroker kit before a turbo conversion. u can get a stroker up to 4.2 litres for the with enough coin lol

i think i might get one later on when they r hell cheap lol

Stroking the VQ35DE will technically only get you 3.8L. You need to resleeve the block and bore it out to get 4.2L (technically 4.15L).

A crate 4.15L motor from GT Motorsports in the US will cost you USD$15,000. I'm not sure if this is the company Carl sourced his engine from, but either way the right build up can handle 500rwkW.

I can't find the URL (BLISTC sent it to me) but there's a normally aspirated 4.15L VQ making around 260rwkW on a US dyno in a V35. That's practically VQ35DE+TT power. I just can't remember how legal it was, exhaust-wise.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
