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.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
