Cool NISMO R-TUNE 350Z rated at 340HP!!

Found this on another site, sounds really good.
I always knew a suitable ECU change would unleash the VQ! Can't wait.......

HAHAHAHA!!! "Fair ready" is exactly how it would sound in a Japanese accent with the "L" pronunciation differences.

Found this pic of a "NISMO Race Model VQ35".

Do you think this is the VQ35 all "r-tuned up" or is this for the $75k car?

No, that's the race engine. That spec sheet says 450ps.

Be interesting to see what's changed. Could be a straight-pipe to the rear, aggressive settings that would necessitate better octane than what we get, and whatever else us Americans get stuck with.

The freshalloy people were guessing that it was a whole engine swap.

The specs listed were 340 ps (is that the same as HP?) @ 7600 RPM and 268 lbft of torque (a bit lower than stock), so I would guess that would be NA. A turbo or SC engine would be able to reach 340 without raising the redline. This means they must have done some significant changes to the internals. At a minimum it would need new cams (since the current ones loose lots of torque above 5000 RPM) , and maybe lighter, stronger pistons. I don't know about the crankshaft. At least we have the ability to reprogram the shift indicator all the way up to 8000 RPM. Makes me wonder how long they've been working on this engine.

I really hope we can see some of those improvements without getting an entirely new engine, although depending on price it may be a very good investment...hehe...

Just take apart your headlight, paint it black and reseal with silicone.

Nissan is not producing a $75,000 race car. The car that everyone is talking about is $125,000-$200,000 range to compete againg porsche. No way 443 hp and body modifications would only cost the price of another car. Plus is has air jack built in No Way. Got info strait from Nissan rep.

thanks,
Greg
