Maybe I'm the minority, but I am happy when people remind me (and themselves) that my car is a grocery getter and then proceeds to hammer them 6 ways to sunday with 3 passengers in the car The reason I mod my maxima is because the motor is one of the best out there, and because it's a decent platform for a sleeper.

g35's are for mid-life crisis daddies who want a sports car, but have to take their wife and kids around too.

this Thread Is To Give You Z Guys Other Motor Options That Are More Rev Friendly Period. Its A Good Setup For Boost And Wont Cost You A Fortune..

7 pages of utter b/s with probably half a page of somewhat useful stuff...
OK, Tilley & co. may I please suggest that you should stop dignifying some of this talk out of *** with responses. Leave these morons to their elusions of grandur to think that they all have a top of the foodchain ultimate sportscar (apparently Porsches, AMGs, M6, and a whole buch of pasta rockets don't exist). And whoever of them pokes jokes of 4 door cars, well they probably have no clue what an Evo/STI is. And as far as overall handling, come on, S2000, Z will dance circles around it. NOT!

And don't even go into this whole $-to-$ routine. An SRT-4 will smoke the Z off the line at any given day and can be had for less then 25K (oops, 4-door, FWD)

FWD car smoking a RWD car off the line? Are you kidding? I DEAD HOOK first gear with 430whp...I want to see a FWD car dead hook first with DOT legal radial tires and 430whp on the street.

Being able to launch is important, yes. But SRT-4 of out the box does run a quicker 1/4. BTW, which tires do you use? I am putting in a TN-ST this spring and my Toyos are almost gone anyway, I am wondering what should I get instead.

Actually I have been pondering the short stroke/high redline issue for some time. A buddy of mine is rinning a turbo Civic (a VERY well executed one) with a fully built B16 redlining a 10.5-11k. According to him the B18 (essentially a stroked version of B16) will never rev that high. But then again, I am only quoting him.
The question, in all actuality, is whether going all the way to 7500-8000 rpm in a VQ would yeild anything besides the sweet sound (like extra power would be nice). If I'm not mistaking it peaks out at 6600, no? Maybe with a different intake manifold and upgraded cams (do you think anything more aggressive the JWT would be needed?).
Also, with my 5AT how do I reset the shift points so that the tranny would let me rev it that far while in AUTO mode?
Otherwise this seems like an awesome idea for motor, a good alternative to a SGP block (assuming the the build quality is on par) if one does not plan to go over 500 whp. Isn't that the same engine on which the Top Secret 350Z (the golden) one was built, the Nissan Gloria motor?

Hi Brian

Dude...Bottom line is we/most of us do not need rev friendlier options. People rev to 7200 RPM w/ chipped ECU's without problems and people do not want to rev to 8500 RPM's. If anything i would feel much more secure revving my sport tuned VQ35de motor to 7200 RPM than any Maxima VQ. Why would we spend even more cash on destroking to make less power? We're not running full out Time Attack or Road Race cars here. It does not matter and it does not play a important factor to do so.

Bottom line is if Tilley had 800 whp TT 350z in his sig and he told you the sky was purple, you would soak it up faster than a wet sponge.

The fact that he drives a 4 door car automatically gives you this superdick ego thing going so you don't need what he is talking about.

Oh really??? So SRT-4s are running QUICKER than mid 13s STOCK? I ran 13.6@103mph bone stock in my car and I've yet to SEE a stock SRT-4 run anywhere remotely close to that. I could have pulled a 13.4-13.5 out of my car with more attempts...but I only made like 3 or 4 passes. I've heard of them running in the 13s...but I sure haven't seen it.
I run 18 inch 295 BFG GForce Drag Radials It's the only way to go for a total traction solution. You won't see SRT-4s hooking on the street with DRs and this much power though...

Drive your 'vq32det' for a year and come back when you have some actual track and road experiences with this motor under the hood. I don't think many people are going to be willing to throw out the reliability of having a motor that has been pushed to its limits and tested extensively (vq35de) for a destroked frankenmotor you're building for the first time in your body shop. I also don't think < 1k increased rev limit is worth all of the potential headaches and nightmares that could come from modifying the motor to this extent.

Oh, and I'm surprised the mods haven't said something in this thread if you're tryng to sell your frankenmotor service without a sponsorship...

That's right. I don't need it. You don't even know what rpm your VQ is rev limited at and you're telling us what we need? A reflashed vq35det already redlines at at 7100 rpms, and the new 300hp motors even higher. But, if you're willing to throw down all that cash for a few hundred rpms, then please do. We'd all be intersted in the outcome.

And yes, my original post was a bit tasteless, but I never stooped to name calling. These maxima goons were the ones that perpetuated this whole debacle.
