I love everything about this build aside from that sound from the VR30 engine. I wish Nissan would release a true successor to the RB26 which happens to be a turbocharged straight 6...
No he just isn't used to driving it. He mentioned 'its a first for me' when Larry was orgasming off the sound of the BOV's, so homedude prolly has just driven it around the garage and that's all.
@B. Chandler yeah that's why I said "most" I mean like Audi V6 5.2s are like one of THE best engines ever made if not The Engine P.S. considering when they first came out
I recently purchased an ultra-low mile '07 Infiniti G35S Sedan, with manual 6-spd. transmission, and the 3.5VQ hr motor. I'd love to get the chassis tied down nice 'n tight, and wake the already powerful-for-it's-time engine up. Highly underrated car with lots of potential.
its the delay of the electronic throttle body. he would have let off the gas before letting the clutch off but the tune of the computer wont be set to respond that quickly. being that the engine was only ever offered in automatic it would still be running the same tune i would say.
Is that why they're referring to it as the new 300ZX? I almost thought they would have swapped the VR38DETT from the GT-R instead, but I guess that might have been a bit too much with a car with such a short wheelbase...
From here on out, if I'm ever feeling down, I'm going to watch this video. Words can't describe just how GOOD this set up is! I currently have a G35 Coupe and plan to turbo it soon! Can't wait!
AWESOME CAR AND SHOTS!! BUT, you know messed up the editing when I have to rewind the guy talking to hear what engine is in the car. They don't state they swapped out VQ, well they don't make it very clear IMO. Its almost like they had someone new edit this one... I could be wrong it may not have been an editing issue and the Nissan guy just didn't say it up front. IM DROOLING!! I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE SAID THE TOTAL RETAIL COST OF THIS SWAP!!! We all know NISMO stuff is NOT CHEAP!!! More like hella expensive! Nissan won't ever do this, but they totally should!! Why would u buy a GTR tho if they offered a Z with this spec???
I think tuners just pick something to see if it's possible. Current VQ37 with a Fast Intentions TT easily makes 480hp for +/- 12K. Nissan has got to find a way to it's next iteration and more power, so why not a VR30 TT since it's already proven in the Q60? It will be interesting to see how they answer to the Supra? NO collaborations please!
Why would you want a newer small turbo motor in the next gen Z. Possiblities with 370Z VQ's are better including the Titan 5.6 V8 drop in and not fabricating shit up. No one wants a 2.0 turbo, do you?
Apparently Mr. K died 2015ish and Nissan might lose that Z heritage for sport car as it halted. They Z might become a sport crossover next gen with the next designer, sad. Like the mitsu eclipse. If you do buy a 370z get it in white and base model add your own lsd wavetrack or any kaaz 2 way. The nismo has nothing good but feels for 20 grand more. Unless you like it stock the nismo Z aero looks terrible.
What feel? Modified cars don't feel anything like stock anyways. Either the chassis is tuned for balance at limit(fast lap) or give(fun). The VQ is best motor from Japan. And the Z34 is the most fun Z.
Larry’s work is absolutely amazing. If I were a manufacturer, I would sell a testicle to get Larry to shoot my product. So few cars are selling right now that no manufacturer is really all that concerned with security of design. Being open and luring customers into their development strategies is a great idea. I drive a Nissan daily, and my weekend car is a 944. I suspect my next one will be a 370Z...I honestly want that suspension setup for my Porsche really bad right now.
evan hasner i think he probably meant to say from the turbos all the way back, you know since turbos run off the exhaust but then shin i wouldn’t doubt it
evan hasner i think he probably meant to say from the turbos all the way back, you know since turbos run off the exhaust but then again i wouldn’t doubt it
Very nice I think Nissan should have included the orange paint in the colour lineup. Friends of mine owned a original paint 1971 Datsun 240Z, in Sunkist Orange and the colour really does the car Justice
Tommy Sandoval they look nothing a like you don’t understand card. The heart of the 300zx is no where near comparable to any new car. You’re also a month bub
Wow as soon as he gets pressure that is when you stop and really notice all they have done and they need to bring a 3 whatever you want to call it ZX to there line up even if its just an option like hell cat ect ..... great work Larry always get stoked when your videos are up
That's because we're all spoiled by the sound of VQ37VHR motor. It's one of the best sounding engines out there and not too many engines can match or top its sound.
- It’s not really hard. I just finished it up. What he means is to make a wiring harness work for it is the hardest part. Everything fits like it’s OEM with minor adjustments. Fairly easy swap.
Nope, it's not. The 300ZX is a legendary, state of the art car from Nissan and this car doesn't have the same feel. That exhaust didn't sound super terrible, but it wasn't very good. The Skyline's have the best sounding exhaust in my opinion. The orange color is really cool though.....
Sounds better than I expected, then again this is basically a race/show car and not a production version which will be a lot more muffled at minimum. But let's hope Nissan can build put this engine in a NEW Z chassis, and keep the cost down. The Z is waaay overdue for a performance update and has gone from being a good performance car when the 350Z came out, to now being slower than the Turbo (4) 1LE Camaro on a track.
Please dont compare this to a 300zx, keep them separate, z32 TTop twin turbo body looks amazing, z34 370z good car (not turbo) no (ttop) and looks like a 2-door nissan maxima , both cars are nothing alike. in my opinion should not be in the Z line at all should have let it die at the Z32 ((But to each there own)) i’ll stick to my boosted Z32 Breakin necks on a daily basis 😎
You guys need to make a video called “shitkhana” where Ken drives all the daily trans cars (shitcar, shartkart, scumbug) like around the yard or a close track 🙏🏼
It's just a VR30DETT out of the infinity q60 mated to a stock 370z transmission. But it is a 3.0 liter twin turbo so that's why he calls it the new 300zx.
Answer: No. It's not. Nissan said it themselves that this is just a facelift, just like the GT-R went through in 2012 and again in 2017. However, they also said the next Nissan Z is not forgotten.
Dang Forsberg’s former team engineers was good choice to build this car especially there known for Z platforms and many more. and a 2 time championship team, cant really argue there time and effort build this beauty. Larry should have a ver 2.0 Ole Orange base on that Z34 chassis.

"The exhaust is great."
Really??!! ...From inside it sounds like a '93 Civic DX with a loose fart can exhaust!
But, I love the rest of the car!
V6 themselves rarely sound good
Sounds like that outside too
@B. Chandler yeah that's why I said "most" I mean like Audi V6 5.2s are like one of THE best engines ever made if not The Engine
P.S. considering when they first came out
I first heard the drive by and thought it sounded nice and was gonna argue...then i got to the clip where he is inside 😂😂
Well it is almost completely gutted, so that has a role in how it sounds inside

That Z is ridiculously clean! 😋 Nismo's had cool polo shirts since I can remember, Hoonigan performance polo reverse engineering in progress... Lol.
Nissa guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about and omg his shifting! Wyd bro?...
Right, blipping the throttle on upshifts?!
its the delay of the electronic throttle body. he would have let off the gas before letting the clutch off but the tune of the computer wont be set to respond that quickly. being that the engine was only ever offered in automatic it would still be running the same tune i would say.
WOT shifting, good for the clutch lol
@@mattjoanna6179 hit the nail on the head with that
Must be the rev hang like a lot of modern cars with a manual gearbox
So thats a VR30DDTT and he doesnt say so in the video....wonder why?
MrFlashRoc thanks... was trying to figure that out
Is that why they're referring to it as the new 300ZX? I almost thought they would have swapped the VR38DETT from the GT-R instead, but I guess that might have been a bit too much with a car with such a short wheelbase...
It's actually a vg30dett. It's an old iron block from the z31 300zx. That's why he's saying the new 300zx. But the generation to come is a new 390z.
Jovan Solomon lol no. It’s the engine out of the q50 400 or whatever they call it these days.
It's a vr30dett

Saw this car when they were still modding it in the shop. So cool to work with these amazing people who create pieces of art like this
Am I just that high on lsd or did they not say what swap it had?🤷🏻♂️
Brandon Lewis they said they worked over the motor.
I'm curious too.. he did say the term "swap"
They refed the factory power of 400hp which is the twin turbo VR30 capable of in the Infiniti models
Yeah im confused. Is it a stock motor with some bolt ons? Or is it a 300zx motor swap?
@@breakupgoogle maybe its a q60 swap or something

You can't really compare a z34 to a z32. Anything after the z32 just doesn't have the feel that the older z's have.

I'm sorry but while you were riding in the car the exhaust sounded like a shit can Civic muffler with holes drilled in it
THat is so true
Making the vq engine sound good is impossible

Because its straight piped without any muffler or resonator, if they put some muffler in it it wouldn't droning so bad and sound tastier.
