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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
