csiu Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Hello guys I've ordered a 2007 350z with VQ35HR engine. Can anyone tell me whether the Spiils grounding kit will fit on this engine? I haven't seen the car yet so don't know those grounding mount locations. Quote
Spill Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Looking at the photos, I think upper and lower plenum are now plastic, so installation would need quite a bit of modification, would have to see one to be 100% http://jimwolftechnology.com/vq35hr/index.htm but there's always a way Quote
csiu Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 thanks! Let me know if you are making a grounding kit for the HR engine. Quote
Sarnie Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Hello guys I've ordered a 2007 350z with VQ35HR engine. When is it arriving? Whats the difference in the new engine? Quote
csiu Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Hello guys I've ordered a 2007 350z with VQ35HR engine. When is it arriving? Whats the difference in the new engine? Should be arriving in February. Oh there's a massive thread about the differences, but mainly more power (313ps) ,higher redline (7500rpm) and dual intake, Quote
GC350z Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Quite a lot from I've gathered from this pdf. http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/DOCUMENT/PDF/IREVENT/PRESEN/2006/060824_IR-VQEngine_Eng.pdf 7500RPM Max BHP is over 300. Can't find exact figure only rumours. Acceleration G is up to 0.8 Claims 0-60 is reduced by a second Improved fuel efficiency (10%) and reduced emissions Dual intakes. And a shed load more changes.

Sarnie Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Claims 0-60 is reduced by a second Sorry but I don't believe that one Quote
GC350z Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Bit more info http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/VQ35HR Quote
Removed Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 didn't know they would bring it in so soon in the Uk though, only Feb? it's not out in the US yet! Quote
GC350z Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Yea, if I was you csiu I'd check that out with the dealer just to be sure. Here in Ireland they don't seem to of noticed the check the engine received in the facelift. In face most are bearly aware there was a facelift at all. If the HR is out this year I might trade in now. Guy Quote
Removed Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 have you seen the bonnet of the 2007 hr z???? that might make you change your mind... Quote
H5 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Claims 0-60 is reduced by a second Sorry but I don't believe that one Correct, you'd need a directly proportionate amount of power increase to get that (approx. 50 bhp). Quote
GC350z Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Yea, not so sure now. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2006/12/2008-nissan-350z-new-313hp-35-v6-minor.html But then again, my Z is a 04 which has less power then a 06 and a bonnet can always be changed. That site has the hp at 313. Guy Quote
csiu Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 didn't know they would bring it in so soon in the Uk though, only Feb? it's not out in the US yet! The 07 model has been available to order in the US since early November, and customers are starting to get their hands on the 07 recently. Sorry didn't make myself clear.... I'm buying it in Hong Kong not in the UK!! Quote

Davey316 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Sorry didn't make myself clear.... I'm buying it in Hong Kong not in the UK!! Nice one , hows the end cost compare to a UK supplied car? PS. I'd hold off on the grounding kit as I don't expect it will direct fit, but I'm sure there will be one available soon. Dave Quote

Dave Converted back into Sterling it came out just over 27 grand, not bad considering cars here get taxed a lot. Quote
Davey316 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Forgot to ask, did you go for one of the new colours? Dave Quote
csiu Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 Forgot to ask, did you go for one of the new colours? Dave nope, I didn't even know about the new colours when i placed the order. Went for silver. Quote
