The earlier VQ's didn't like much over 400whp before they popped, which is 5-7psi roughly. From what I hear the new engines(HR and the 3.7) are much more robust.

Piston slap can be caused by a few things. Generally JE pistons have been known for this, only until the motor is warmed up because the piston has to heat up and expand. Too large or piston bore to piston clearances can cause it, along with high silicon content in the piston will give you piston slap. Generally speaking, high silicon content pistons shrink and expand more than others.

The platform is plenty capable for road course action, but there's more weight to throw around so it's not going to feel like a "big go kart". Right out of the box the 370's have cooling issues that put them into limp mode when driven hard. MotoIq did a test on one and it limped off track after a fee hot laps.

Agreed! Visually speaking the Z33 looks way better than the polarizing Z34, IMO. And wasn't that last version of the Nismo 350Z stitch welded from the factory or by Autech or something?

And while I like Toyota's build quality, I still have gripes with the (few) parts that are prone to failure being very expensive to replace. Fortunately, its never mechanical stuff - its bullshit interior-related panels, exterior trim parts, etc

I really cannot say this about NISSAN. Everything from the car to the parts are all reasonably priced and acceptable build quality. NOT the case with Mazda, the car AND its parts are very sub-standard.

Just my 2c...

I've seen S13s MUCH worse than the above. That car is just missing the door. Re-install the door, a bit of body filler, polish.. and its good to go. Jokes aside, you know its bad when you see the frame rail pushed all the way to where the transmission tunnel is...!

I dont think so. I think the 370Z is a very good improvement. Shorter, wider, better engine, serious(ly heavy) brakes... No gripes here. I still like the 350, but 370 is also nice.

ah yeah, my old z







went from s13 to z33 to a few other cars and now back to an s13. z's are cool if you've never had a newer car and need a nice daily driver. they suck for everything else. driving is boring. drifting is even more boring. it's a fat sloppy pig. tried everything to get rid of the slop, but it just felt like shit. the z community sucks. 90% of owners have their heads buried up their ass. everything is about "how big of a wheel can i fit" "what's the lowest offset possible" "camber is tight yo!" bunch of hardparkers. it's just a really fucking boring car to own. aero options are boring. vq is boring. sounds good, but it's boring. handling is meh... boring. if you want to be bored while you're bored then bore your way to the z33 and enjoy all the boring possibilities.

s-chassis has so much cooler shit. and the s-chassis community is sooooo much better. no little babies whining about not having enough camber. there are some shit heads, but at least it's because they're idiots, not because they think they're better than you.

that was how i felt. while the car felt good and capable, it just didnt have too much character. it has all the ingredients though.

the freeway is especially funny because its just... boring. you mash on the gas and it gets up to speed easily, but it has no entertainment value at all.

two things i really disliked:
- over sensative steering ratio
- drive by wire throttle

the delay in the throttle was annoying.

Get an RX-8. Those cars actually look really cool, and go for cheaper than 350Z's (probably because the triangles are about to fall out of the motor).

If you own an S-chasis, you already know the answer to a shitty motor.


Shit I've seen local RX-8s go for $5k and Rollers (blown engine) for $1,500. If I was younger I'd be all over this shit.

Rotaries are cool...if you have money. When you're broke a rotary is like some kind of magical machine that you pray will continue to run properly every time you drive it.

^^That thing is fucking hideous.

I am in love with the FD3S. Not so much with the rotary. I mean I love the sound and brap of a bridge port or half bridge port. I just don't like the idea of knowing from day 1 that a rebuild will be required before 150K miles

Try every 50k.

If 150k bothers you, you should not own any performance car, let alone a turbo one.

The biggest issue with Rotarys is fuel consumption. 10-15mpg for 4-cylinder performance is deplorable.

Once the stock motor goes, anything is game. Most people from this forum would probably just end up sticking an SR/RB/LS1/2JZ in it.
