GT-R 3.8 vs 370z 3.7

MattP725 · 11-30-2011, 08:38 PM

This may have been discussed before but are there any major differences (outside of the .1 liters) between the 6 in the GT-R vs the 370Z? Again outside of the obvious things like the TT setup.

Pistons, rods, studs, intake manifold are all different and thats barely touching the tip of the iceberg.

Red__Zed · 11-30-2011, 11:08 PM

there is almost nothing shared between them

MC · 11-30-2011, 11:12 PM

same general geometry / configuration and the oil dip stick is in the same location.... thats about it...

marrim · 11-30-2011, 11:23 PM

there pretty close in price right?

Two completely different animals. The die hard Z guys (such as myself) will tell you that with enough time, effort and funds the Z can be made to be way faster and more fun to drive. The GT-R, hey look its extremely fast but if you want the car to do everything for you and you can be the car's accessory by all means. No soul, even if I had the $ right now I wouldn't get one.

Yeah, I don't like the GT-R...so what.

The engine for every GT-R is hand-made. The Z...not so much.

UNKNOWN_370 · 12-01-2011, 01:14 AM

I would kill to do an engine/tranny swap of the GTR in a Z.

And the die hard GT-R guys will tell you that with an Alpha 4 mod nothing on the planet will even come close to matching that performance for a street car (1/4 mile in the high 8's) - and that also equates to more fun to drive.
