hey 200sx se-r wv im from the cleveland area. parma to be exact. he hit 200mph in it. there is a video of him getting up to 194 but it cuts out because about 15 seconds later he hit the wall. walked away from it to. lucky guy.
Aha.... and stripped down 4th generation 95-99 Maximas are around with 2600lbs with no problems... one guy got his down to 2510 after he stripped the car down completly.
Maximas are not heavy, as big as the car is... they are pretty light. My 01 weights 3021lbs and thats with a system in the trunk. Light suspension, wheels, Carbon fiber components strip it down a bit. Stock its 3100lbs.
New Sentra weights almost as much.
This said I am still standing by the old VQ30DE-K. Cause without the working CVTC its pretty much the same power.... 172ish WHP for the 95-99 motors, 185-199WHP for the 00-01 3.0L (depends on the wheel size from the factory) and about 205-210WHP for the 02-03 models. All manual tranny cars. Remove the CVTC from the 02-03 model and its about 190WHP.
yeah but our cars are 2400lbs stock and we lighten em to 2300 or less, imagine that kinda power =)
edit: new sentras are butt ugly, and no1 on this forum rocks those. newest model's on this forum are 01-04 and theyre heaviest model (spec-v) was 2700lbs from the factory, so no matter how you look at it we're still lighter :-P
The block, heads, crank, oil pump, pistons, and rods are all the same.. The differences are the oil pans, front cover, water pump, intake manifold, plenum, cams, and headers. With that said.. a RWD block would work in a FWD car.. and vice-versa.. with changing the external parts over either way.

And if you drop back to 2003/2004, not sure that even Plenum, cams, header are all different - both rated at 287 crank hp, same redline and gearing, other than the engine cover my G has a better CAI than the 2003Z did stock, and if you drop a K&N filter in the airbox, get rid of the G Coupe's resonator pipe and use the Z-tube, the G edges up about +5 whp on the dyno.
Seems like the divergence happened after 2004, my G Coupe and 350Z engines seemed to be identical in almost every way. Both dyno'd almost identically in stock trim even with the 350Z on paper rated higher at the crank. The Sedan was a different story, for certain, but not so sure the Coupe and 350Z had many differences back then under the hood.
I only mention it because donor cars are likely to be the older cars, and if they're the same, opens up more choices.

That's nuts, how the hell did he get the aerodynamics of the car to behave above 150 mph? I would expect lift would be a serious issue for that car at those speeds. That's serious speed in any car, and trust me, 140mph + in a 350Z or a G Coupe gets your full attention with their full aero kit and general aerodynamics, weight, it's an adventure. 200 mph is insane in 99.999% of the cars on the planet based on any streetable car.
I have a hard time picturing that one. Full-on 1/4 mile car?
he redid the front end i heard looked kind of like a nascar. umm and 1/4 mile time im not so sure of but im positive i can find it somewhere. and yes 200 mph in a dodge colt. crazy.
So when does this come out and if it did already can i get the link or number so i can buy this, this is really cool V6 in a lil a$$ B13 WOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!

VQ35 Maxima Motor VQ30 RS5F50 Bellhousing + starter motor
RS5F50 U12 FWD Bluebird Gearset and plenty of info on this forum for getting the right driveshaft combination to work.
Early 1995~1997 type VQ30 ECU and Maxima MAF
Use stock engine loom to get coolant temp sensor signal, stock speedo sensor in RS5F50 gearbox, MAF, TPS, A/C, Consult output, etc and splice into the plug for VQ30 ECU. Run new wires in a seperate loom from the VQ ECU plug to power the V6 coils and injectors.
Convert the stock plenum into a twin SR20 throttle setup with one TPS for awesome induction note.
Factory gearbox chassis mount(mild modification), with 3 other fabricated engine mounts.
Custom radiator
Future mods:
Bikirom daughterboard in a VQ30 ECU and Bikirom has PWM outputs for the camshafts VCT
I've been on b15sentra.net and it looks like Unlucky is Trav4011 over there. Seems like he is busy with the VQ35 to Spec-V swaps. His swaps run the quarter in 12.9 @ 105mph. He says the weight placement and difference is negligable and it's lighter than a SR20DET swapped Spec V by about 40lbs. He also says, there is no noticeable increase in body roll or negative handling characteristics with a VQ35 in a Spec V.
I hope he hasn't forgotten the B13. A VQ35/B13 would have to be one of the most popular swap kits ever,especially with VQ engines and transmissions in junk yards all over the country. Anyone know the best way to get a reply from Travis?
^^
Correct. The VQ35 is slightly lighter than a SR20DET(especially if you have a FMIC) and as a lot of weight sits over the axle, the handling is not compromised.
My car will be finished this Friday(new wheels + tune), adding two RB25 MAF's(one as a dummy) and halving the injector K value which doubles fuel flow to compensate for twice the air flow to allow the VQ30 ECU to run a twin MAF, twin throttle body setup. My current twin throttle/single MAF/VQ30 ECU setup already gives a nice induction note and around 160kw@wheels
The conversion itself into a B13/14 is not hard(N14/15 a little harder) if you use the earlier VQ30 Maxima 5 speed box(RS5F50)
I also have a digital video camera these days so video will be available on putfile and will be hitting the track this weekend.
My latest VQ35 swap:
2005 Maxima engine
RS6F51H HLSD 6 speed box
1999 RB25 NEO ECU with suitable sensors/trigger wheels and MAF etc(VTC tested and tuned but not being used yet)
Tomei Procams(looking at Kelford 302/292 cams right now ***)
12.7:1CR with shaved head and thinner head gaskets
Cosworth Double Valvespring kit with Inconel +1 Intake and +1 Exhaust valves
Two SR20DE Throttlebodies using Hi-port linkage to open them together
Engine mounts:
Stock SR20DE engine mount onto a new engine bracket
Rear Mount - Custom
Chassis to Gearbox mount - 2003 Maxima
Torque mount - Custom but using stock dogbone
Fuel system:
Surge tank with FPR on surge tank for returnless fuel system. Both fuel rails now have rail pressure.
Electrics:
Stock SR20DE wiring loom with patch loom to join SR20 ECU connector to RB25 ECU, with extra loom for V6 coils/inj/VTC which alter the firing order to suit the VQ and the stock speedo drive clips into the 6 speed box without issue, so speedo works
Front hubs:
1995~1999 Maxima Front 5 stud hubs work(so do the 4x 114.3 B15 hubs)
VQ35 driveshafts and CV joints are used
Stock block driveshaft bracket used
Whole swap owes me less than US$9000 including freight and dyno time.
Average fuel economy this week with some hard driving has been around 8L/100km or about 430 miles to a full tank(around 35mpg or so?)
Can leave two 215mm wide wiggly lines for 300 feet up the road in 3rd gear from a 50mph rolling start...

...Average fuel economy this week with some hard driving has been around 8L/100km or about 430 miles to a full tank(around 35mpg or so?)
More like about 18-19 mpg, which is still pretty good for mixed use. I thought about that 35 mpg and said "hmmm" because on of my daily drivers is a 2004 V35C Coupe, here "Infiniti G35 Coupe" or JDM or anywhere else it's sold as a Nissan, "Skyline GT350 Coupe".
It's VQ35 never sees over 20 mpg with hard driving, with 6MT, more like 17 mpg (7.2 liters/km). Highway is much better due to the tall 5th and 6th gears, 25 mpg +, I've seen low 30's.
Most of the time, esp since having installed a COBB AP and Stage2+ map, I see about 17-19 mpg. I guess you have to burn some fuel if you want to roll with 300chp. With the COBB AP my fuel cutoff is now at 7200 rpm, not 6850, so I tend to spend more time above 6000 rpm than before, that's pretty much wide open throttle level of fuel consumption in a VQ35.

Photos! Must see swap photos, sounds like a kickass setup
I was basing that off an 12 gallon tank(around 55 litres including surge tank) so 430 miles from 12 gallons appears to be around 35mpg. Regardless, I know it has fuel economy only slighty worse than a Toyota Prius and the Pulsar is a lot more fun
I have full adjustability of the fuel and timing maps, so it has strong low rpm highway cruising speed with the occasional hard blast for overtaking. Not to mention a less weight that a 350Z/G35
Car is on the dyno again late next week, I will have video camera active for that.
I'm not questioning your power, tuning, or weight difference, just your math is off, maybe you're using Imperial Gallons?
55 liters = 14.5 US Gallons, or about 29 mpg.
8 liters/km = 18.8 miles mpg.
I get the 30 mpg with my B13 on the highway, and that's hardly Prius territory. I also get that with my G, despite its 3400 lb hefty footprint. Once you're rolling in that car in 6th gear, mpg shoots about 30. If you're maintaining momentum, the difference due to weight matters very little. Add superior aerodynamics of a V35C with zero lift under-body kit, precise suspension and zero toe alignment, it rolls just fine.
The heft really shows with the starting and stopping, when I have a lot of in-between town driving w/o freeway, I see a lot less, 17-19 mpg. So mentioning you carry a lot less weight than a Z/G, your hwy mpg still isn't going to be that much better, and the math needs work
But I digress Great swap, love to see detailed writeup, photos, anything because that would be a great B13 setup, the motor is light, buckets of torque, big fun.
