What do you know about VQ35 and G35/350Zs?

[sleepydsm]

Thankyou all for the information.

I truely feel an Evo is a great car, especially for the price a decent one can be had. But for the simple fact so many people have one, I kinda do not want one. That's not to say there aren't a lot of G35's around...

My preferance would be to get a nice looking, not so boring, car that will be comfortable and nice, but have a little fun in it. I really like the way the G35s look. But not much of a practical car in winter. G35s aren't even nice enough to argue storing for winter lol.

I really like the idea of something a step above a DSM.

I have considered FDRX7, but I don't want a rotary (lol), E46 M3, Evo 8, G35 coupe 6spd with Brembos. Maybe a really shitty NSX (cause thats all I could afford).

Is there any room for a big single in a vq engine bay? :)

I like the Legacy GT turbo's. Sounds like it may fit what you are looking for.

[Super Bleeder!!]

Those later engines (with the dual throttle body intakes) are called the RevUp motors. They make a bit more power and have a higher redline.

You should PM that new guy BlueVQ

He is a Nissan guy and has a sweet reliable setup on his.

So many people have Evo's? I see quite a few more G35/350Z's than Evo's. Go to a VQ forum and I bet they say the complete opposite lol

Give a BMW e46 Chassis a look, plenty of them in the price range you are looking at. Whatever you decide to do, make sure to test drive as many cars as you can, this makes me kinda miss car shopping. Ha!

[sleepydsm]

Yeah, there is a reason the BMW's are heralded as some of the best cars ever, overall. Especially an E46 M3.

I have a lot of thinking to do... Or I'll just get an evo. hahahahaha, god I hope not.

Look around for an fd rx7 with a lsx..........all of the fun, and none of the rotarty. That would be nice :)

ok so 03-05 were the regular vq35de motors, they did have a few syncro problems but not too bad, in late 05 they came out with the rev-up motor wich still had the single intake but the intake plenum is set up a little differently to help give air more equally to all cylinders. in 07 they came out with the vq35hr motor which was the dual intakes and 305hp compared to the 287 in the DE. this is also when they started making the nismo models. it would be nice to get the track model with the brembos but honestly most people just put slotted rotors on like i did and it stops just fine. all the models are basically the same just interior differences and what not but just dont get the base model, they are the only ones that dont come with LSD and cruise control. you definately want the LSD. Like 1 quick 4 said my setup is very reliable and i love my car, i guess i admit the interior does have some plastic but that's being a little picky, it still is a very nice interior, no rattles or anything. everything feels very solid. and yes they are very expensive to mod, ive got well over 10 grand in mine and am only at 350whp. granted not all my mods are power adders but still. any more questions just let me know

[blueVQ]

oh and yes you can do pretty much any setup you want. there are single turbo kits, twin turbo kits, roots style supercharger kits, centryfical supercharger kits, nitrous kits all over the place, check out my350z.com or 350ztech.com or g35driver.com
