Exactly..I was talking about its weight in relation to its quarter mile times...not that dyno...

Its only running high 13's and even very low 14's at trap speeds less then the 07 Z...Now it makes sense..

Like I said, the G37 and older HR doesn't dyno any different really. And the Dyno takes into count the temps and humidity.

right but if they are around equal hp then the g is heavier thus not any faster in the quarter

well From Fujita Air's Dyno.. almost 8hr diff... and tq differences as well
plus wheels on G37 is almost 15lbs heavier then the Rays on New Z33, I dyno my S14 with SR20DET and with same size wheels but with TE37 vs GTC the hp was 4lbs difference and 5lbs of tq diff..
Z33 VQ35HR

G35 Sedan VQ35HR

Yeah, but it just illustrates the fact that you have to get mods to realize the extra power (which, even then, hasn't been proven yet). It is a larger motor with more modern technologies and a claimed 30hp advantage (not to mention the added price) -- it should get noticeably higher dyno #'s without having to go to the aftermarket.

Plus, once you start going down that road, the G falls further and further behind the 335i IMHO.

Heck, by those #'s the sedan is only 14hp and 2tq shy of the coupe.

So... confused a bit by the dyno #s I searched around, and it looks like those are quite low to some other dyno sheets.

http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews...7_dyno_charts/
(287 hp / 236 lb-ft)
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=121462
(281 hp / 229tq)

That is more what I expected.

Any thoughts as to why these are so low? Different type of dyno?

Yeah, but the Z seems inline with other Z dynos (from what I understand), just not the new G.

well let say this if I lighten my Flywheel, driveshaft and wheels i know the car dyno # will be higher.. Rotation mass/weight play a big diff.

Z33 VQ35HR

G35 Sedan VQ35HR
Were both the 07 Z & 07 G Sedan of the same transmission?

With all due respect, im not so sure if you understand the variables that goes into every dyno. Sorry but there is no way that same engine on the 07 Z & 07 G Sedan have a 10 whp & 13 whp. I've dyno'd my car several times and I understand how they work. I have had readings range from as much as +-10 whp on the same dyno with the same car all pulls within 5 minutes. Just shows how inconsistent and easy manipulated a dyno reading can occur.

Also, I won't believe that these intakes produce that much power unless its track proven. If it really did increase that much in power and torque all around the powerband, its definately going to yield better results at the track...if it indeed produces that claim in power.

Like I said, the only difference in regards to acceleration is the G35/G37's heavier weight figures. There's a difference in unsprung & sprung weight in regards to dyno numbers.

Also, how did you get those wheel weight figures? The 05-06 G35 Coupe Forged OEM 19's were one of the lightest 19's around; they ranges from 19-21 lbs each rim. I have a hard time believing that those G37 OEM 19's weigh that much more than the current OEM G35 19's and new Z33 wheels. Can you please share with us the info you have with proof?

PS. Please don't take this the wrong way. Just having a civil discussion

Casue that's my G37 and I took the wheels off and weight it... do you want to see pics of the scale and want to see if I calibrate it as well??

Track Proven? with My Z all my lap was never 100% the same, due to temp on tires, wear on tires, etc..

Also on dyno with unsprung weight, on my S14 I will be getting a lighter flywheel, driveshaft and changing the wheels to CE28N (same size) with R888 tires over all I know the HP will be higher then right now.

Wrong. The 19" rims on the G coupe that were forged were not light at all. They stitll weighed more than the 18" rims that game on the G35 Sedan. They were around 23-24lb each. There are many that have weighed them on g35driver in the past.

The G37 rims aren't forged to last I heard.

depend on dyno, temp, etc..
Fujita Air did this Dyno to show that the intake do make HP on the same dyno...
