Smile Wonderful 3 1/2 years and 22,000 miles and then ....

Short story bigger impact for me

The story:
Invitation of Nissan Switzerland
NISMO Nürburgring "track day" 23/09/2014





Ohhhhh Yeahhhhhhh

23.09.2014 / 04:00 in the morning
I started to the Nürburgring in Germany.
Open highway, no speed limit, no traffic.
Sometimes with speed over 175 mph (280 Km/h)
Was a pleasure

11:00
Coffee break and refuel gasoline (after 280 miles)

12:00
Briefing and instruction of the Nissan Crew

13:00
Grid on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

13:05
"Gentleman, pleas start your engines"

13:07
Someone knocks on my window
"Hello Sir, your "Z" smokes a little blue from the exhaust"

The Nissan mechanic on site have recommended to me not to start.
The "Z" still run......and I can not drive a single round

Since that day, the "Z" is with my tuner.
For those who do not know my conversion, here is my build:
First STILLEN Supercharger 370Z swiss

In the next few weeks / months we will analyze what happened.
If we have to remove the engine, I will at the same time upgrade the internal parts.
With us, the winter is coming and we have enough time to build up the "Z" perfect.

My wish list for Spring 2015:
The existing STILLEN-Kit
(Because we have officially entered this kit with great effort in Switzerland (carb legal))
AND I LOVE IT!

10 - 11 PSI Boost
460-480 WHP

Planned upgrades and service:
- 340lph fuel pump
- 750cc Fuel Injectors
- GT-R Spark Plugs
- Replacement of all belts (motor and supercharger)
- Replacement of all lubricants

Now the real questions:

1. Individual parts replaced?

- Piston
- Connecting Rods
- ARP main studs
- ARP L19 head studs
- etc.

2. Or even the extreme?

- Brian Crower Stroker Kit (4:07 or 4:37)
BrianCrower.com | RunBC.com // Nissan // VQ35DE

3. Which compression would you with my power / boost (10 - 11 PSI) recommend?

- 11 Stock
- 10.5
- or ... ??

Many Thanks for your help and recommendations
