Remove the pulley belt, lol

 

it was switchable with a basic switch
"During the 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) unveiled the 350Z GT-S concept.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference">[9]</sup> The GT-S featured a unique radial flow supercharger (that could be turned on or off via a switch on the dashboard), raising engine output to 382.6 bhp (285.3 kW; 387.9 PS) and 424.8 N·m (313.3 lb·ft) without modifications to the engine components. The car also featured new body kit for more cooling and downforce and wider 245 and 265/40/18 tires. No plans for production have been revealed, although there have been some hints that the package may be offered as an upgrade kit. The car has been tested favourably against its possible production rivals, the Porsche Cayman S and BMW Z4 M.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference">[10]"</sup>

 

Doesn't seem to improbable...Just like your A/C compressor has a clutch on it. I wonder if they had to switch tuning maps on the fly as well?

 

its probably similar to my supercharged 89 mr2 .. theres a clutch on the supercharger which can either be switched by the computer or you can rig it to manually do it inside the car

 

Think that article first came out when the 350z went into production. If it didnt I believe they said it would only be offered in europe

 

it was revealed in 2006 and its never going to be produced. only a project. or at least thats what i read when i copied and pasted that info above

 

This Strosek prototype car is as old as the 350z, .
