Dynamic Turtle Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 As with all these threads I still don't "get" forced induction (particularly in terms of the huge cost and effort involved), when you could buy an R33/34/35 instead. Maybe it's just me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I thought AAM had already tried to modify and provided their first attempt based on random guesswork without actually seeing a RHD... although I could be completely wrong on that front. Nope, the kits are provided standard LHD, have a look at these photos taken at SEMA 2015: As expected, it's not easy and takes a lot of time to develop the right setup for the RHD cars, we're working on it with AAM production managers, engineers and marketing guys, rest assured 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Will be epic once fitted though what sort of power are you aiming for on the stock block ? Close to 500bhp on the standard block, but pretty sure by the time we're done, he'd want to forge his engine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just me... For a quality well looked after r35 your talking 40 grand And a r33 and even r34 isn't saying much to a blown 370z at the same sort of cost So I'd say it comes down to what you want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1H Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Wow, what the heck are those stunning blue Intake manifolds on the SEMA pictures, Adrian? Is this available? Is it beneficial for a boosted stock-block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Planning to forge your engine already? Not me... I appear to have made the mistake of proposing over Christmas, so with the cost of an engagement ring and a wedding in July I get the feeling I'm going to be pretty broke for a while!

Adrian@TORQEN Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi Drayvn, We're still working on it with AAM, they're developing the RHD manifold to accommodate both 350z HR and 370z to make the project less costly / cost effective. So virtually, as soon as the manifold is ready and test fitted, it will work for both 350z HR and 370z. We're shipping more parts to AAM today so they can have a full working RHD setup in house, things like front frame, steering rack etc. Hopefully not very long now, as there is a huge interest in the kit, having so many PMs, emails and texts about it Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A steering rack for a 350Z HR and 370Z has been received by AAM, they're using those to redesign the manifold now... no idea when that will get back to the UK though.
