Mclaren owner has popped up now

Don't go to the dark side!!!! And don't put BMW wheels on this one

Haha love it #teamtarmac

I think I might get an exhaust first, I don't want it boy racer loud, and are HFC worth it? And do they pass emissions? Why can I see my welcome thread entering the green room #teamtarmac

YES ITS ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THREADS!!! Wait for me to get my box if tissues and lotion. Also I can't see a video or image if there is one I'm on my phone. #teamtarmac

Just trailered her home, so happy with my purchase, thanks for the warm welcomes #teamtarmac

As I thought you would be the first to realise, all engines are ticking time bombs. Ones that have been opened, parts replaced and are running more powers just have shorter fuses True, as what I said to the guy who started this, the same thing that happened to me could easily happen to the V8. However if I had a baffled sump, I may still be here right now At the end of the day it all comes down to the owner and how they look after their car. Question then (No digs at anyone or aimed at docwra) So with the 'opened engines have shorter fuses etc' - by that standard it would be safer to just FI a stock VQ? Another question for people - If there were 2 engines up for grabs for free - which would you choose? Forged VQ or a untouched VQ? (And don't say Forged to then sell and make money ) because going by the current answers, most would choose the Untouched VQ as it would be a safer option?

So all forged owners are driving ticking time bombs? Just to add, the original debate wasn't about costs vs reliability or cost vs power Was down to someone saying V8 was safer than FI'ing a VQ. I would just personally feel more comfortable with a Forged Built engine built by a reputable retailer over a shipped V8. (Don't get me wrong, I'd choose the V8 over FI, I'm just saying in terms of ME feeling safer)

My head hurts I'm going V-Tec!

You still came back for a nose around didn't ya! Just perving around to see who has the biggest

Why don't you ask about your road legal buggy

From my point of view though, I'd trust a Forged engine (Just been finished, not ended up in a car yet) over another stock engine, or car - Only because you pretty much have a freshly built new engine as opposed to a stock non modded engine with only the word of the previous owner as to how it was driven and looked after. Pen and paper yes Stock should be more reliable, but in the real world, you can only ever really trust your self. (Yes I know you have to factor in the mechanics that build the engine for any error etc, but that's a whole nother arguement )

Show seasons over. Look here for any local meets http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/72-regional-meets/

DE = Weak conrods I would of probably survived with a Baffled Sump (Maybe some more oil, even if I did top up and check before Track)

Your project was complete at the end of show season should of stuck with it another year #teamtarmac

My god this thread still going... #teamtarmac

Okay to be a bit nicer, they can't give you a quote just like that for legal reasons, I.e there is sensitive data they need to know first, that's why you need to call. But there are things like when asked can any of you insure a road legal buggy, and get a response of give us a call, that's when it becomes daft and becomes a big pet hate of mine. #teamtarmac

You won't get much info from them unless you phone up. They're like robots. Inb4 reply 'have you tried calling us? We might be able to help' #teamtarmac

I'm sorry for my fail post which also contributed nothing to this thread I was always under the assumption those lights were triggered by movement? #teamtarmac

I'm a bit late to the party I recognise that girl! Fail I know! But I'm sticking with this post #teamtarmac

Thanks for the info mate. Well yes sikky kit was one I was thinking of buying and I heard about bizz making a kit but didn't know when. Also I am in the fabrication and welding game myself so could save money there. I want to try keep as much OEM as possible. Also I have thought about turbo but the engine isn't built for that kind of power even if you forge it I still feel it cab pop anytime but with the ls2 you know youre safe if you stay NA makes no sense. Any engine can go bang... I'm walking proof. Everyone said 350 engine are bullet proof. At least 10 on this forum have died this year. NA or FI can both go pop. Ash' 500hp forged twin turbo will probably have less chance of going bang than your V8... Don't mean to sound harsh, but you need to look at this from all angles #teamtarmac
