Nissan 350z (Fairlady) - Gearbox qns and others -

[Sqxt]

MCF-forumers,

 

I am looking to purchase a used 350Z roadster.

 

However, I was looking for some advice first -

 

1. Anyone knows if the auto gearbox can take torque mods and how much can the gearbox take?

 

2. Any cautions from bros who used before?

 

3. Any advice?

 

Thanks in advance.

most impt point to check is whether the used 350z roadster had accident before or not

[Sapience]

erm... i'm not sure how much torque increase you are looking at... but the 350Z is NA, how much power increase can you achieve? maybe you have some secret mod must share...

[Picanto]

its already a fairly powerful car to begin with. not sure whether the brakes and chassis can cope with the increased power.

[Tsr729]

bro it comes wif 4/2 pot brembo brakes if i'm not wrong

[Keen]

what is NA ah? ps... noob here... haha

[Tsr729]

NA means Naturally-Aspirated...its mean no turbo no supercharge

[Zcold]

used 350Z ... the Pre-FL or post?

 

apparent this "facelift" makes a huge difference to the car.... the power is quite different and the technology... apparently i read somewhere tt the FL Z has a new coating at the the piston head or smth ... with no hydrogen atom in the bonds that gave lesser friction.... it jus won some award in Japan for some pretigeous innovative based award...

 

any bros can confirm?

[Tsr729]

i heard e BOV of a white 350z b4

[Vblaster_w211]

Yes, the new engine is almost totally revamped (including the new anti-friction coating), from 280bhp to 315bhp with better response and torque all round.

[Sapience]

well TS didn't specify he was going to FI the car right... anyway, what's a "torque mod"? engine mod i know, exhaust mod i know, but torque mod i don't know...

[Fckes]

alamak i realised many ppl love to give other opinions and comments instead of answering his questions ah?

brakes and chassis all these can be easily modded to cope with increased power but stuffs like gearbox there's no way to really strengthen it.

(actually i have no idea how much power and torque it can take before it gives way too haha but do check out the fairlady z forum. http://forums.delphiforums.com/fairlady/start )

[Elfenstar]

Sure there are ways to strengthen the gearbox. from cryo-treating, shot-peening, to even changing the gearsets.

New Nissan Z sports car to spawn 475bhp V6 Nismo model

Successor to the 370Z confirmed; flagship Nismo version to have hot V6 and four-wheel drive

Nissan has given a 370Z successor the green light.

The new sports car is expected to be shown in coupé guise before the end of next year ahead of UK sales starting in 2020, some 50 years after the original Z car arrived here.

Future generations of the Z model are understood to have been in doubt because of struggling profitability in the sports car segment, an issue felt more widely across the industry. Honda has admitted a similar quandary about an S2000 replacement and Toyota and BMWhave teamed up in order to cut costs in the creation of their respective forthcoming Supra and Z4 sports cars.

Nissan design boss Alfonso Albaisa told Autocar last year that he was in favour of a new Z car to replace the 370Z. He said the sports car market was a challenging one but was “personally advocating” a new Z car.

The forthcoming model is known internally as the Z35 – a codename that continues a process started with the Z31 model launched in 1983. It has been twinned with the next Infiniti Q60, with which it will share its rear-wheel-drive platform, engine line-up and electric system, according to senior officials from Nissan.

Dimensionally, the new Z car is set to mirror the more upmarket Q60. At about 4520mm long, 1890mm wide and 1240mm tall, it will be slightly larger than the 370Z, which has been in production since 2009.

As well as a coupé version, Nissan plans a successor to the 370Z Roadster, although this model is unlikely to arrive in showrooms until 2021.

Power for the new coupé and convertible, which insiders suggest could be called the 400Z, is planned to come from Nissan’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine used in a number of existing models, including Infiniti's Q50 and Q60. In standard versions of the new Z car, the engine, which has a 60deg vee angle, is expected to run a similar state of tune to that of the Q60, which develops 399bhp and 350lb ft.

By comparison, the outgoing 370Z has a turbocharged 3.7-litre V6 powerplant that delivers 323bhp and 268lb ft.

The highlight of the new Z-car line-up is set to be a four-wheel-drive Nismo version. Due to arrive in 2021, this is earmarked to run a powered-up version of the turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine with a claimed 475bhp and 451lb ft.

Although it's still early days, Autocar understands that Nissan intends to reveal the styling of the new Z car in concept form at the 2018 Tokyo motor show in October. The definitive production version is then planned to be unveiled at the 2019 Los Angeles motor show.

Looks good!

Hope Datsun keeps the manual tranny alive.

No manual no talk for this car.
