And one that has never been asked before

edit - these original threads were purged and this one was in their place (search done on Google.com provided these two results)

I don't get how they answered my question. one of those is about springs vs. coilovers. the other is about something i know nothing about. VI. I don't know what that is. Im just asking a basic question.

oh dear LORD...

PWND: OWNED!

NUB: NEWBIE!!

hahaha...dude...the 300zx engine has a steel block and i believe the vq series are aluminum blocks...

vq30de vs vg30de...if you were to put them both on the floor to race each other... i think the vq would have an advantage because of its weight...

first of all...why are you even asking this?

I was wondering because I was at the races and people were trying to tell me my car had the same engine as a n/a 300zx. I think that is what the general public thinks. I just wanted some info so I can tell em otherwise. Heres some stuff about the VQ30DETT from wikepedia.

The twin-turbo VQ30DETT is an engine used in Nissan's race cars, primarily in the Super GT (formerly the JGTC). First used on the Skyline GT-R race cars during the 2003 season, this engine currently powers the Fairlady Z race cars - homologation rules allow them to use the VQ30DETT in lieu of the stock VQ35DE. Race output of this engine is estimated at around 480 ps or approximately 473 hp (353 kW). A road legal version of VQ30DETT is one of the engines rumorued to power the 2007 Nissan GT-R.
The VQ30DETT is used in:
2003 Skyline GT-R JGTC race cars
2004 Fairlady Z JGTC race cars
2005 Fairlady Z Super GT race cars
2006 Fairlady Z Super GT race cars

wouldnt that difference be 32hp??? 222 minus 190 does still equal 32 right??? also you guys think it was just coincidence that the de-k had the exact same rating as the vg30de?
