So will the next one be similar specs or pushing more power?

 

 

Looking for more power, a safe tune pushing 450HP is the aim.

Oooh, can we be excited on your behalf?! :yahoo:

You sure can!!!!!!!! I'm busting to get it started, the gearbox is nearly here, it got held up leaving the US as it still had oil in it, so it had to go back to be thoroughly cleaned before it left!

Very cool to have them dueling like that! Looking at the steering wheel presuming that your Z was an Aussie new once upon a time?

 

How's the lovely 240?

But here is some really massive news - the new 350z is alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went on the dyno for the very first time last night, pushing 470hp atw on a very safe tune.

You can also check out the dyno runs here: http://www.facebook.com/MotulAU!!! Posted to FB, don't know how to embed it directly here, sorry!

 

 

All of this leads to some really crazy news, I'll be driving with Ken Block on his Gymkhana World Tour when he hits Australia in less than two weeks in the new car!

 

Here is a clip from Vienna... just a little excited :yahoo:

Can't imagine why you'd be excited. :p:p:lol::lol: Not like he has incredible car control or anything. :p:lol::thumbs::thumbs: Goes without saying we expect vids and photos. :thumbs:

 

Oh, and 470 horses at the shoes is nothing to be sneezed at. :scare::thumbs::thumbs: You must be wrapped with the dyno result. Are you pleased with how it's handling?

More good news... same tune, more ponies :D

Only running 10psi, the funny part is how strong the setup is, its a nice mild tune and will be perfect. The tuner said he could wind it up to 600HP... That would be fun and all, but not really keen on the earth shattering kaboom that is sure to follow.

 

Haven't done a shakedown yet - but should be able to give it a run this weekend. Will let you know how it goes!

That's a nice smooth curve. B) Sounds a wise move to keep the hp down, no point chasing way more if it all ends in massive expense to fix. So many make that mistake. Happy shakedown. :drive1:drive1

Here she is :teeth:
