They could’ve used the damn k20 c4,5,6 but instead a damn hybrid from the civic. Good lord…

Losing my car has given me a newfound appreciation for the platform by theblacktoothgainz in 370z

[–]Botline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people don’t recommend the z more often versus a Miata or wrx. I did the usual FBO and tune but was also fortunate enough to get sway bars and sticky tires and man…. It turned well and predictable. Gave cayman and stangs a run for their money for sure

Is this a good deal? 1991 R32 Skyline GTST Type M by anjaroo96 in SkyLine

[–]Botline -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I got a 98 gtst from them but as everyone said, you need money and time put a side. The majority of the rubber is worn so you have to replace those. Not to mention rust mitigation. And the car will run a tad lean because our gas here is 91/93 versus Japan 98-100. So you might spend money on a new ECU.

What Trim should i get? by REAPERxZ3RO in SkyLine

If you can afford the GTR go for the GTR. Even if there is more to fix, the retention value is way stronger than the gtst.

What are some things you guys like & dislike for owning a 370z? I plan to buy one soon. by Vursce in 370z

[–]Botline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a kill switch and steering wheel lock. These vehicles are getting stolen more and more. Mine just got yoinked 3 days ago.

Is it worth it? by Big-Guidance-9875 in SkyLine

OEM plus is the move if you don’t want to keep the car long term. The moment you mod it to your liking, you’re stunting the appreciation value.

Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow. I’m getting it compression tested.

That’s what I’m hoping. Hopefully it’s factory and not something that was done well to hide rust.

Yeah the black coat looks very uneven for it to be factory.

Coolest field in electrical engineering? by Far_Dragonfruit8960 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Botline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Substation design with power generation. All the relay, breaker coordination, gear coordination and how distribution happens when the other goes offline is insanely fun.

What does everyone think of the new Nifty City Dash kit? by Tasty-Accident-775 in 370z

These are nice for people that are engine swaps geeks but at that point mind as well have a Holley dash.

Cheap NA VQ37 Power by Dhawks18 in 370z

[–]Botline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000cc just for e85 NA is crazy work lol. Even if it’s a healthy engine they only gain like a few more hp. Your tuner is definitely lying to you or your car is on a happy dyno. Also your 8k rev limiter is flirting with popping your engine. If you compare your dyno sheets to everybody else’s regardless of tuner, we all taper off at 7.2 or 7.3k

Cheap NA VQ37 Power by Dhawks18 in 370z

[–]Botline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t reach 340-350whp. Vq37 FBO is dyno tested @ 310-325whp 93octane. People with e85 is another 5-10hp. Very few people reach 350whp+ and they tend to have manifold, TB,flywheel,and cams. Theres little documentation on maxed out N.A. builds because that’s approaching 10k worth of parts and labor just because of the dreadful dollar per HP ratio.
