Life span of a VQ37?

Zensation

touche, but I havnt seen anyone bolt up the cheaper assembly from the 350z to the 370...was just wondering if the housings are physically the same dimension is all.

i can spin first and, chirp second with VDC on, shouldnt have to turn off VDC to do those things, you just cant do them for long with VDC on XD

@OP
i dont know whats wrong with yours but i can get second and third to chirp from just power shifting, and im running wider tires in the rear(295/30/19)

Your from auto to manual that's what the really problem is. Auto has 7 gears while manual only have 6. It's all about the gear ratios. Auto will of course feel torquay than manual at lower gears. If you have bicycle experiences you know what I am talking about.

That being said, this 370z manual transmission is so hard to launch fast. That has been brought up here again and again and again and again if you ever do some researches... The most negative 6m driver out there on this forum has claimed he has been smoked by Toyota Camary(or the same class) in many places and weather conditions. (*cough jungleZ cough* ) So beaten by an eclipes is not too bad. LOL. Next time, try not to race with anybody on a public road. But if you have to, rev it to 5k and dump the clutch see if the eclipes can keep up with you or not. But do it at a drag strip.

Lol, hey I would not be surprised if a V6 Camry from 07 to current beat a not so good Z 6spd driver......With a 5.8 to 60 and trapping at right at 101 mph I can see this happening unfortunately to a 6spd Z driver.

CSGLEON

kinda off topic.. but can the 370 exceed 155mph? stock? if the gov is removed or whatever? is it illegal?

luigi90210

well its illegal to speed, but not illegal to remove the electronic governor

keep it at the track and stay safe

CSGLEON

Yes of course.. Being legal.. Does anyone on here own a Z that can go past 155mph on private property or track? Has anyone on here even hit those speeds in their Z? 155mph?

luigi90210

i pulled 150 flat out up hill, if i was on flat roads i probably could have hit 155mph

with that said, i will never drive that fast again, although its fun, its scary, and not like a scary movie scary, but more like a huge spider fell on your leg while you were using the toilet scary

LMAO!!!


Ask the guys in Germany

155 in a cage is not scary. 186 with nothing but a leather suit between you and asphalt closes the 'ol cornhole up. On a track, of course

DLSTR

Yes here in Germany......Autobahn. Cool day flat part of the road no problemo! The car cruizes nicely at 120-130mph. Not scary in the right conditions, tires, traffic etc. Also thats generally in long sweeping curves and various straights. 100mph is not an effort for this car. That being said a focused driver is required. Generally drivers here are well trained and not nearly as distracted and grew up driving at speed when they did begin to drive independently.

Told you, the guys in Germany
