135i vs 350z

[jbertino]

Ok so he did. Run from 40-150 I got him at first I pulled About a 1 1/2. But as speeds were climbing he reeled me in and won buy a 1 car he started to pull hard after that
We also did a run from a dig and he destroyed me I still need to learn how to launch and I have the stock rfs

i'm calling BS. No way a tuned 135 lost to ANYTHING. You must be new around here.







Really though, if he put down 410 the result makes sense. even tuned and down pipes won't be quite to that level. Up top is where HP matters, down low good traction and torque can make a hell of a run at you.

When you look at the evo and sti guys they all want to run down low. Find a guy with big HP and he's comfortable on the highway.

Be safe out there....

I was just at a dyno day event on Saturday. This is a local shop that specializes in IZOD cars and other professional race cars.

I watched a new/newer 350z strap onto the dyno. It had all the "go loud" boltons, carbon fiber body parts, NO FI, etc. I'm not sure about the tune. They had definitely put some money into it.
Peak HP: 288

After remembering this thread and a little push from my friend, I had mine strapped down.
08 135i AT
JB4, FBO, stock mids and stock cat back, E85/93 mix, NO meth.
Peak HP: 402
Peak Torque: 455

It definitely surprised the large crowd.

Oh and my friend dyno'd his stock 335i MT and put down 269 HP as his baseline on the same dyno.

I'm surprised, but his numbers surprise me a little too. I take it he got an upgraded pully for the Vortech? I don't recall the base kit performing that well, but it has been a while. I get him taking you from a dig, I could always manage much better 60' times in the Z then I can in my 135, but I'm pretty impressed with his roll results.

And lol at roo, heh, you sure you saw this right, hahaha?

[jbertino]

I think He has the stock pully but he did upgrade his intake manifold so that added a good amount I'll find out about the pully soon

So... somehow in 9 days your co-worker spends 6k in mods and has enough time to have it shipped to him, scheduled enough time for a shop to install it all, and tune it, and race again?

Yea... I am not buying that story. But hey, it is the internet. People are always telling the truth.

Agreed.

Some interesting vids to add to the discussion...

[WhiteTgr135i]

What's with the kids expression in the last video in the Z . No doubt that 370z moves pretty well.

[lastMleft]

Yes the Z moves well but Im not a fan of the Z, IMO ugly car

I don't have an issue with Mustangs, but I live in Southern Cali and they are everywhere here. Literally I think every 5 or 6 cars is a mustang haha

I have two things to say.

I have raced my buddy in his nismo 370z with sts rear mounted tubro and beat him multiple times. He just keeps making excuses. The first time we raced he said the car kept going into limp mode due to bad spark plugs. He had the spark plugs replaced and we raced again and again from various rolls, all with the same out come of him in my review. His next excuse was that my car isn't stock. Which I had my doubts about it being stock too since I am the second owner, but I confirmed it to be completely stock after getting it back from the dealer after a service from Classic BMW.

The next thing I would like to comment on is why did this thread not get closed like mine did? http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=783496

I would guess that it was the detail that you started to bring into the thread. When someone says "I'm gonna run my buddy in his 350z" it could be at the track or on the autobahn, wherever. You mentioned a US highway by name.

[slim_e90]

As everyone said. It's an easy win... Probably even for a stock n54

Please do it safely and legally

As an owner of a 06 350Z trying to get out of it and into a 135 or 335, I can do nothing more than confirm most of what was said about the straight line stuff. I don't have any serious seat time in a 135i in any of the local twisty parts, but the Z isn't that bad in the turns. I was playing with a 135i on the North Texas Autobahn a few nights back, and yeah, he was a bit quicker than I.

I've always told people that if I hadn't have driven more than a handful of fast(ish) BMWs, I'd probably be madly in love with it and want nothing else. But having driven the fast(ish) BMWs I just know I like them better. I had a E46 325i with way too much dumped into it to be a little faster than a 330i ZHP, and I miss the hell out of that car. I don't think I'd miss the Z all that much once I got rid of it.

I watched a new/newer 350z strap onto the dyno. It had all the "go loud" boltons, carbon fiber body parts, NO FI, etc. I'm not sure about the tune. They had definitely put some money into it.

You will be hard pressed to get 300 wheel out of a non 35HR motor without head work. Hell, I think most 35HRs putting down 300 have cams at the very least. The 06 that I have is 300 stock at the flywheel, and I dyno'd 240ish wheel at the local go to place for fast imports.

I had a G35 and G37, the Infiniti version of the Z cars.

The G is more akin to a 3er than it is a 1er. They share the motor and some other things, but the G is not simply a Z with leather seats. I think I would have been happier getting a G than a Z, though.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the input man!

350z's with the HR motor (2007-2008) will make approx. 275 to the wheels with full bolt ons. 370z's will make approx 300-305.

As the owner of both a 370z and a ecu-tuned 135, the 370z is a bit faster than a stock 135 but simply cannot keep up with tuned 135.

It's not a "bad" car, it just is what it is- a pure sports car with a naturally aspirated V-6. The n54/n55 has MUCH more room to grow than the VQ powerplant.

That being said, the 370 is more grippy than the 1. It just has a wider stance with more room under the wheel wells- enough to run 305's in the rear and 275's in the front.

Regardless, I like the 1 better. the 370 is up for sale.

to the guy that beat a turbo 370z in his stock 135, i have a hard time believing the guy has a rear mounted turbo. Unless you've seen it, I wouldn't believe it. even 4 psi with full bolt ons and tune would be, i'd think, +80 hp over stock which should be plenty to pull a stock 135i even if it's a DCT car. a lot of people like to lie about their shit, more so in DFW as i've come to realize.

No lies here sir. He is my best friend. I'm about to up load pics and vids of it. I've driven his car. I've touched the turbo. Taken pics of it. Held and read the magazine it was featured in, Nissan Sport Issue #18.

Check it out. I have integrity. I do not lie.

[SAM135iAM]

Tried uploading a video of his car but it didn't work. As you can see in the first picture with his car next to his brother GTR however, you can see the turbo.
