Greeting maximalings,

I joined this forum for future informative and constructive technical discussions on the vq35de.

I have a 350z...now, part of my problem on finding technical help online was that...
usually mechanical inclined good people do not have the money laying around to buy a 350z/g35 or they do not justify spending that much on themselves alone when other people need the funds..so they do not buy a 350z or g35.

To be honest, 350z forums and full of ignorant, misinformed and mentally boosted idiots....the majority of them still believe that their engine will blow up if they put 87 octane in their car....these guys judge stuff by the price and the brand name.

g35 forums are better, their members are open minded and have less misconceptions...they know they can run 87 octane but they lack creative and good mechanically inclined people, some idiots still exist like on most forums

now on maxima forums I saw a lot more technical help and open mindedness. I do think that the members of these forums have much more technical capability than most of the members on 350z and g35 forums...plus members are more willing to see what the person is saying instead of judging why who he/she is......from what ive seen but I can always be wrong...lets see



I moved to these forums, when I read this post made by a maxima owner from these forums in a 350z forum. Where he was getting flamed....for having a car that does better than any bolt on non-HR 350z NA (108mph 1/4 mile N/A) and not showing his air intake...he had boltons with a custom intake he did not want to reveal...and instead of encouraging him or thanking him from bringing better intake to our engines, he was being picked on...even when the 350z forums own members vouched for this guy, people would still try to destructively criticize

But yea, here is my car



It has a vq35de, same block i think as the maximas.

Its not exactly better than a maxima...I drive 2-4 hours daily and if I had a maxima, I would take that instead...the mph is worse eventhough the 350z is lighter and every mechanic wants to charge me more cuz they think im a rich stupid kid with a 350z so I usually end up doing my work myself

oo...its currently being driven in snow, temp between -3 C to -20C, -35 with windchill....but its usually around -7 C. Some mechanical bits make wierd noises when the car is frozen outside, on start up or initial movement ofcouse,,





but yea, ull see a lot of technical questions from me.

 

Nice whip, my gf has one. We have a lot of good technical people on here.

One major difference between Maximas & Z33 is going to be the ECU/tuning software you want to use. You'll def want to tune on UpRev with your car.

 

There is a ton of info in the All Motor forum here. I am on the my350z forum and from time to time I see what you are saying. The forced induction forums there seem a little more mature though since you are talking mostly about big money.

 

Nice ride and Welcome to the Forums...

 

You'll never have any regrets with that car.

 

Uhhh the 350z forum is ALOT more technical then here and there are alot more builds you can look at and see what worked for who.

Like no one on here has stroked out the 3.5. No one on here has long tubes, no one on here ever put on ITB, very few people know about uprev on here, etc.

Feel free to hangout but you will not find any parts for your car for sale here really...

 

well you are wrong on all of those points:

1. You know ceffy that posted right above has a stroked VQ35 right?

2. The OBX/cattman/hotshot headers are our version of long tubes.

3. Have you seen the Jenvey ITB Spec V build? That car had a FWD VQ35 with ITBs most of the research and development of that car was done here on the org here is the completed project:
http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor/6...-epilogue.html

4. Yea we dont know about uprev because people here are either on utec or haltechs adapted directly from the G/Z.

The primary reason you dont see as many of those builds is because maxima owners are cheap azzes, and dont have the money to do elaborate N/A builds. Thats the truth of the matter. But we still have stock block NA 3.5s putting down 270-280whp. Which is right on par with the G/Zs

 

Everything you posted is 1/2 truths from what I have read. Please correct me if I am wrong:
Stroked out to what? Link? Is it under 4l?

Our version of long tubes are not the same as real long tubes for a Z. Don't try and compare them 100% different. If anyone on here gives him headers suggestions it is just info they raped from the Z forums.

ITB in a sentra with a swapped motor is nothing like getting ITB running in a maxima or a Z. Why bring it up? 100% different because of our ECUs.

You know as well as I do that there is 10x more knowledge on the Z forums then here relating to:

Engine builds, NA or turbo options, etc.
Tracking a Z
Dragging a Z
Maintenance on a Z

**** just about everything that matters for him. If we are more friendly here and he likes the atmosphere here great! Enjoy your stay buddy. But we can't really help you with that much and any Z specific questions you will have to ask over there.

 

my350Z and maxima.org are good resources and my car is not stroked, just bored. If I stroked it it would be displacing around 4.0L.

That is all.

 

Again its as if we dont know do headers period. Technically yes they are mid length headers, still the power being outputted by our headers vs theirs, not much of any difference. Unless you are dropping like 2-3Gs on that ridiculous SG system.

That sentra is running a maxima's main harness and ECU. You cant run a sentra ECU or harness on a VQ35, wont work.

For the most part he is better off looking around G/Z forums but just like on here if he is asking common knowledge questions with out searching he will get flamed to the point of no return.

 

How did he get the car to run with no DBW errors? I thought that is why maximas can't use the ITBs or the 90mm TBs...I mean the price for ITB is out of this world but the gains are good.

 

I believe it was because of the tuning stuff he was using, he was on the a haltech if i remember correctly basically a stand alone but still requires the stock ECU from what people have argued with me over it.

They had hella trouble getting that thing to idle properly but eventually got it. the build thread is somewhere in here. i dont feel like digging for it. But it seems it would definitely be an easier job to accomplish on a car running 3.0 timing.
