whats up everyone. I got a stupid sounding question but i have to ask (its so stupid i couldnt find in online). How do you know if your car has a stroker kit in it? I ask because about a year ago i bought a 2005 350z from this crappy dealership in hollywood fl that buys cars and flips them fast. After i bought the car i noticed it had a few mods (cold air intake, k&n filter, spc rear camber arms, and a racing clutch). the car has a whole lot of torque more than other z's i've been in. i notice that the car drops off right at 6500 rpm, where the red line starts. i've read online that they go to 7200 rpms (is this true). I just wanted to know if their is any sure way i could tell without taking the engine apart or getting it dyno'ed.

any help would be apreciated, future thanks.

 

you wouldnt know till you took the block apart

 

You don't have a stroker kit. /thread

 

HIGHLY doubtful that you have a $4000 stroked VQ but if you really want to be sure take a spark plug out and shine a flashlight down into the cylinder and take a lookie.

 

Just look at the oil pan(s) and see if they've ever been off.

But yeah, I'm with vertigo on this one. If you don't know, you don't have one.

 

but if you want one!

 

lol^

 

^^


...and I'm knocking.

 

i put together a stroker vq about a year ago... needless to say.. you don't dump 15K into a block to keep it NA and resell it to a dealer.

How do you buy a Z without seeing the mods? Get rid of the CAI and get an 06 airbox with a K&N drop in...gives the most power(Even if it is only like 3 hp haha) It may have diff gears like the 3.8's or something and that may be what you are feeling but I doubt it. Actually if you are new to the Z, you just may not be used to it yet...it likes to slip the tires stock.
