350z vs my G

[g35sedanlover]

See my mods below, should I be able to take a bone stock 2004 350z?

My friend just put money down and is talking a lota smack...

[Beancooker]

Is he manual or autotragic?

[audtatious]

'03 G sedan is 280hp @3442 lbs wheras the Z is 287hp @3200. Even with the mods the Z should be able to win unless the driver sux. Hopefully he has an auto too.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

My bet would be on you my friend... I've danced with one, and, I feel with the mods you have, you'd perhaps win, I know you're hitting 4.8 - 5sec 0-60 times, so, let's see, how does the 350Z compare, oh and....

6mt ? or the rautotragic

[BrandAidDesignG35]

And sorry, to clarify, you have an electric fan as well correct?

[TeflonG35]

Lol i was at the track on friday and a 350z did a 15 in the 1/4 mile.

Z's are over-rated and G's are under-rated. You should be able to mop the floor with him.

An auto sedan... My money is on the Z but that is just my opinion. Head to the track I am curious as to the out come.

[audtatious]

Z's are over-rated and G's are under-rated. You should be able to mop the floor with him.

They have the same motor. The G is heavier by over 200lbs and -7hp. Z has somewhat better gearing (I believe) and lower redline (6200 vs 6600). The intake and z-tube on the G will negate the hp differences but there is no way UDP and plenum spacer will make up for the 200lb weight difference. With equal drivers the Z should still win tho it is pretty much a drivers race.

Am I missing something here?

My 2007 G35 sedan automatic VS 2006 350Z automatic

I raced this guy a couple times with different drivers and the same result. My G was over half a second faster in the 1/4. In the video the owner of the Z is in my passenger seat running the camera and his buddy is driving the 350Z. His buddy claimed to be a driver for rockstar and wore rockstar gear head to toe.

.213 was my reaction time, not the date LOL

[TeflonG35]

I'd race a 350z. I think my mods would take them. Specially when i swap fans.

[RED_DET]

I have taken my shot @ a z or two and the outcome wasn't what you would think and the 1 z was also modded the same. 350z is a quick car, but it is beatable.

I haven't lost to V33 yet. The only mod I have is the 12 inch sub!

[Jacko3]

The Z is a capable car. From a dead stop it would be a toss up with a G-sedan. But definitely, from my experience, a Z seems faster than a G- coupe from a dead stop.

However, in motion, at speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour, in fourth gear, the scenario is reversed between my coupe and any Z to include the 2006 and 2007 zs. No Z has been able to hang in there with me when I drop the gear into fourth.

[audtatious]

Reasoning would say it should win and I would think the lower rev limit would allow for quicker gear changes as well. I always assumed the Z was slightly faster than a G but if that is not the case then I'm sure happy with that.

[TeflonG35]

Ive never faced off against a Z.... I'd probably win from what ive learned at the track with power breaking and such.

[g35sedanlover]

The 350z is a manual.

FYI, edmonds pulled 14.7 with the auto 03 sedan and 14.59 with an 05 350z MT.

I am guessing they are so close because of the 17" sedan rims. Those things are LIGHT, especially with those little 215 tires. When I put the factory coupe rims on, it really sucked out a lot of power... I think if I go to the track I will put the old rims back on.

P.S. I do have an electric fan also, need to update...

[TeflonG35]

With my mods I did 14.4 in the 1/4. Ofcourse my motor had been running all day So it probably could have been faster if the car had time ample time to cool. Now i just have to order a new fan.

[chad1200]

g35sedanlover - email me, if you don't mind. i'd like to find out more about the electric fan, as we have virtually the same car and mods. Thanks.

[audtatious]

I thought the issue was between having a mechanical fan vs. electrical fan as the mechanical fan lowers engine efficiency. If you have an electrical fan system then you should be GtG

[g35sedanlover]

Since you have an 04 you should have an electric already. I think only the 03 auto sedans come with the electric fan...

[BrandAidDesignG35]

wrong... I'm in the same boat, I have an 04, sedan, with the Mechanical BS... I'd expect a quick gain of 15-18whp... with the swap. Why I asked about it

[G_whizz]

My $$$ is on you all day long.

Make sure when you guys hit the track you get a vid!

[TeflonG35]

I think it will increase engine response. Especially with Underdrive pulleys.

When did they go electrical? 2006 with 298hp?

[TeflonG35]

We need someone with an 06 to check their motor and see. I know 03-04 have mechanical fans.

[g35sedanlover]

Sorry, you are right. I believe the 05 is when they switched. I am guessing that is the 20hp increase from 04 to 05 (both non-rev up).

[RED_DET]

You guys got screwed, I got electric fans....

[Sentientbydesign]

Per the FSM the 2004.5 had the dual electric fans.

The FSM for 03/04 also refer to motor driven fans...

I'm going to start another thread with all of this information in Engine/Drivetrain/Tuning sub-forum.

[joe603]

I would say with your mods, you'll take the Z...but it will be close.
