mhd212 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Hey all, First of all thank you Stew fir inviting me to join the forum. Please have a look ar my 350z project and please don't hate me for ditching the engine and swapping it with a 2jz-gte engine. Now the car is making 760 whp on gas fuel and 905 whp on c16 fuel. It was a long story with sweat and tears but am happy with the results. The only problem I faced was the overheat because the 2jz is way chunkier than the vq engine and there is not space in the engine bay. Please have a look at this link: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 448&type=3 Quote
marzman Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Welcome mate... looking very good. Have you done the work yourself? A build thread would be good if you have progress pics. Nice Volks by the way... Quote
mhd212 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks . I didn't do the build myself but I bought the parts. Sometimes I have to travle and sometimes I get the wrong items. That task was sufficient to suck my time and energy. Also, I don't have the skills or the wquipment to do the work Quote
Stew Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 For the non facebookers that wish to see pictures. I for one would love to know more about the car. Quote
Dave J Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Wow!! That's one nice car!! I've never seen a different engine in a 350 before, i bet that car is serious fun Quote
evilscorp Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 how does the car handle/work with all that power? Quote
Chris`I Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Wow bet that was quite a build. We do like pics around here, so if you have any of the actual build when it was in progress, its like car porn to us Quote

I'd say have you ever tried to Concours detail a VQ engine, shoe horn, would be more use. Does look pretty packed in there with the 2jz. I've never seen a different engine in a 350 before Have a nose over on the US forums. Quote
Keyser Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 nice Zed I love the colour as well Any more info??? Quote
DoogyRev Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Wow.... Very, very nice As the others have said..... more pic's please Quote
brillomaster Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Wow that looks insane! Was just the other day thinking how good a 2jz-gte engine would be in a zed As for cooling, i reckon a vented seibon carbon bonnet would set that off nicely, and maybe take a hacksaw to the front bumper - after all, thats a lot of engine to cool through not a particularly big front aperture.

glrnet Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Oh my goodness, that's mad in a really nice kinda way Quote
waltzinblack Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 That's incredible! Awesome power and looks.. must've set you back a fair bit! As others have said a proper build thread would make for a great read. Only thing I noticed... lots and lots of horsepower... and... STANDARD BRAKES!? Quote
WINKJ Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 No I think there brakes I have nooooo idea what you mean by this comment! Quote
cmck13 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Oops sorry Winkj, my eyesight is getting worse must stop drinking during the jeremy kyle show. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 top job! nice to see the car with the power to match the looks Quote
