People need to start blowing up these engines so we know what they can take. I don't know of a single busted VQ35 motor (aside from bluefish's with that ... 300 shot?) from forced induction or overrevving. Although I'm sure there must be a few somewhere.

I thought alll the 5at people w/fi were getting the ts flash so that the tranny shifts right and were achiveing this because of the rev limiter being raied to 7200? I would really like to know the real answer because I just purchased the vortech kit and was planing on this mod and info would definatly hepl!

this is an older thread, but yes i believe it can easily rev to 7200 anything above that will require some work though

I would venture to say that a VQ35DE would have no problems either. I am within 6hp of my peak hp at 7000rpm with a different intake manifold, no cams. I think JWT said that the valves start to float at 7300rpm on a VQ30DE, but we have one guy revving to 8000rpm with no problems yet. (I am sure there will be long term)
Thats my maxima i believe you speak of. My cars a 96 max with about 200,000 miles on it. I take it there at least once a day and it sounds fine. Here are pics on maxima.org

I would think that a 350Z from 7000-7200RPM could rev there all day long the valvetrain of the Z is much lighter than the vq 30 but stroke limits it from going much higher.

One thing, it seems like the speeds in each gear are a bit high, I double checked the gear ratios and they seem fine, so the only thing left is the overall tire diameter. The tire calculators give a diameter of 26.6" for a 245/45-18 tire, but that gives us about 64 MPH in second gear. I was thinking we were closer to 62, which is corresponds to a 26" tire, but whatever, the differences would simply be a scaling of the curves, and they would still look the same with respect to eachother.

Later,

The tire's effective diameter is going to be less because when the wheel is loaded, the radius decreases due to tire deflection. That's probably why you recall 62mph at the top of 2nd gear.
