G35 is not even close to 300whp, unless heavily modded. The most powerful ones made 300 at the crank.

Literally too much to post on my build but I'll be well over 300whp once it's all set and done. Probably closer to 330whp N/A

Considering stock you're making 280, those numbers aren't much to brag about.

>he thinks a car rated at 300 crank hp makes 280 at the wheels
Man you're gonna be really disappointed the first time you go to a dyno.

>>13976133

Stock whp is around 220

This is 330whp

Getting ready for boost

>>13976133
330whp is quite a bit. Stock is 260 to 300 at the crank, so like 210 to 260 at the wheels or so. If he really is shooting for 330whp n/a I would be much more interested in this thread

>>13976164
hahahahahaha all that for 100whp hahahahahahahha jesus

>>13976171

I'll be good for 700whp once It's all done

Vortech V3 will be next once this is done.

>>13976164
You know what, I totally overlooked that you were taking wheel horsepower. My apologies. Carry on.

>>13976185

No problem, I figure haters are gonna hate. But those haters, lol they've done nothing but been stock with a few exterior mods.

>>13976137

Only 4 inches lower than stock, about 2 1/2 lower than a stock 350z

>>13976171
30% increase in power is a lot.

you seem incredibly upset over nothing, do you ride the bus by chance?

>>13976169
more like 200-240 at the wheels.

>>13976193
I will say, the G35 is the only automatic transmission that I've actually enjoyed driving.
>I like it better than driving the GTR

>>13976217

why's that?

>>13976217

just FYI CD0009 manual transmission is able to withstand something around 900whp

Lot's of 2JZ guys have been swapping for it.

>>13976124

It really wouldn't though, sorry.

Credibility? S4/A4 pretty much the worst German cars, BMW better Heritage. Mercedes better engines.

N54 BMW engine is a monster though, think they're at 800whp on stock internals with turbo upgrades and bolt on's

E85 and meth of course

>>13976066
Going from fake Chink lights to bullshit you created in your garage. It's a shame cops are so useless.

>>13976225
The G35 Manu-matic mode is responsive and pretty damn fun. The GTR, while being objectively better in every way, just a isn't as much fun. I have more fun driving my friend's G35 than my co-workers GTR. Now my boss' GT3RS, that's a whole different ball game.

>>13976259

Clear lense
Morimoto H2 Mini aren't bullshit in fact it's quite the upgrade from stock.

>>13976260
GTR is great, it really is. It's just missing the soul.

It's not.

>>13978396

Rev up motor then, get a limp mode tuning 4" intake, nwp 75mm tb, motordyne lower plenum, motordyne 5/16 plenum spacer

You'll probably spend about 1300 for it. Probably 290whp easy.

>>13979454

All of this with a tune of course.

About another 1500 if you wanted cams but I have a connect for that.

B: someone who lives in the clouds
>>13980716
>I can't argue with you so let me try to argue about why your car is shit

>>13980777

Maybe you don't know how disgusting the OEM fog light looks. I must have struck a nerve though about your shitbox miata.

>>13981225
Looks? You're a special kind of retard if you don't like how the fog lights LOOK. Here's a thought, remove them completely.

>>13981261

So a person who wants to MODIFY their headlights is useless and retarded because it provides a beautiful aesthetic to their car and makes it eye catching over a stock car.

Sounds like you're poor and don't do SHIT with your car. You're just a shit posting troll, go back from under your bridge with what most likely is a Pontiac Sunfire. At least Miata guys have the balls to do something with their cars.

>>13981305
>So a person who wants to MODIFY their headlights is useless and retarded
Yes.
>because it provides a beautiful aesthetic to their car and makes it eye catching over a stock car.
Exterior vehicle lighting isn't a toy for you to exercise your autistic preferences over. It's life critical safety equipment that you cannot legally or properly do what you are doing to it.
>Sounds like you're poor and don't do SHIT with your car
There's that uneducated know-it-all logic.

>>13981322

You have no experience with customizing headlights and don't know what happens when you spend the money on the proper equipment required. Stock headlights aren't nearly as sharp, crisp and clear compared to say a TSX - R lens. Morimoto D2's also provide a greater vision and crisper light compared to OEM. I can see now that you do nothing with your car. As I stated before, go back under your bridge.

>>13981351
>You have no experience with customizing headlights
No, I don't. Why? Because I know how headlights are engineered. I cannot do the proper engineering and testing in my garage. You, especially, cannot.
>Stock headlights aren't nearly as sharp, crisp and clear compared to say a TSX - R lens.
I can virtually guarantee you that the original luminaires are safer, better performing, and actually legally compliant when compared to some poorly, if at all, engineered projectors inside a luminaire they couldn't possibly have been designed, as if they were designed at all, to be placed into.

>>13981510
>You're just wrong, there have been multple writeups on this.
Aight. You believe those writeups people just as stupid as you, or the companies shilling to people as stupid as you, wrote. I'll believe what i know about photometric engineering.

>he fell for the Xterra meme
How's that D44 treating you? Explode recently?

>>13981620
But a Dana 44 is one of the most reliable axles ever and should pose no issues with 33s and good gearing? No issues and I've never heard of anyone that's had issues with them that hasn't been because of trail damage.

>>13981632
So I guess all those people with blown up differentials are liars, then?

>>13981645
Are you referring to the c2000k, the less reliable differential offered in lower trim Xterras?

>>13981632
this...

a d44 with 33's should never break especially with chromoly shafts. you'd have to be driving like a retarded ape.

im actually surprised it even comes with a d44.

you could even run 35s with 4340 ujoints and shafts.

>>13979535
Only a3s have haldex fwd biased awd. Quattro is full time but new audis are rear biased

>>13981662
Never heard of a C2000K. It was all over the 2nd gen X forums. TSBs and everything about the H233B differential problems. I got rid of my Xterra.

>>13981710
>H233B differential problems
Too bad the last time that axle was offered was 2004

soon I will be

just waiting on some money

>>13981696
The only problems people have had with 35s is the weaker front axle, the r180, which is why many people swap in an m205 from a titan, which conveniently is bolt on and significantly stronger. I believe people have ran 37s fine on it, as well.

>>13981729
M223? Whatever the fuck it's called, I don't care enough about it to remember the axle codes.

>>13981765
you could run 40s on a d44 as long as you never went offroad.

but i wouldnt worry about a d44 with 35s on any moderate trail t b h
ive ran 35s on a d35 on fairly hard trails. all i broke was one half shaft and chipped the pinion.

people just beat on their rigs too hard.

>>13981767
The m226 had occasionally leaking axle seals if that's what you're referring too. Certainly different than exploding and definitely not worth selling a car over.

>>13981737

plans?

>>13979488
imo it's because of the unrealistic standards people set on GTRs.
Shits a fast sports car from a line of fast sports cars, to be extremely general.

Kind of like people who buy an AE86 expecting anything but a Corolla.

Good cars despite their oil consumption problems, solid cars but usually a) riced to shit b) not taken care of and beaten to death c) extremely high mileage.
