did a little searching and after an hour came up with nothing.

- What can the stock VG30dett engine handle hp wise before it needs to be torn apart and built? The reason i ask it because right now it's going to be my bottle neck, i don't want to push it too hard but want to enjoy it for a season before it's built up.

- Nismo 300km/h speedometer's...where the hell can i get my hands on one?

i cant really help you with that buddy, but im pretty sure the number is gonna fluctuate depending on how many miles you have on your car, u know? an engine with close to 200k miles on it is gonna be able to handle less horsepower than an engine with 50k. i saw on another tread your z is whiping about 700hp (450 rwhp), thats fuggin sick but im pretty sure your pushing ur limit. but then again i guess im just a kid that dont know **** rite

as far as the nismo speedometer goes, all i can suggest is ebay, or you can try a jdm warehouse? where is your location i know of one in cali?

Is that the gauge face you speak of? I'll search around a little more for ya, that auction's over.

Update: looked all over, none seem to be around. *shrug*, Good luck.

500whp can be made on a stock bottom end without a lot of problems

I think he said he built tho motor to go to 750 whp, only putting down 450whp with current set up, 450whp woulod be closer to 600 crank hp
