You can not have the newer engine installed due to the fact you would need a new engine harness and a ecm due to different sensors.
Dang Rev-up engines they used.
Also the 07 is dual air induction, so you'd need the 07 hood to. My 06 burned oil, but nothing out of the norm for a sports car. I just made sure I used high quality oil (Royal Purple was my choice).

The 370z looked the same as the current one. There may be little differences as the model i saw was a preproduction model. Also I have not seen the gt r as of yet but i hav seen what was supposed to be the power plant being dyno tested. It was a 3.7 twin turbo putting out around 550 hp at the crank. Im not 100% sure that this is going into the car i was told the government would have final say if this hp is ok. I get to see alot of neat nissan stuff the public does not and alot of stuff that does not make it to production also.

yea well, the z has beena collector car ever since its start, i dont think itll deminish anytime soon personally. and i dont think sporting up a car is worth my time anymore, buy it with the upgrades on it stock.....obviously you are anti Z

Those "collectors" were of a different era. Now with Z production nearing 40,000 unit I believe (don't quote me) that's hardly collector numbers, if there were any that might have any bearing, would be a loaded Track model or the 35th Anny.
It's not that I'm anti-z, just making sure they are aware of the future and what else is out there. Boostinger did not sure he was set on a Z.

The suspension, obviously things could be tweaked but for a sports car, it handles better turn than most cars ive seen. Also, its quick but id say it could be quicker, the lower end of speeds dont reeally impress me, but its perky. The real power comes off int eh top speed, where it feels the urge to go harder and harder. I bought mine used and dont feel the need to touch it. its a collecters car, so if you take good care of it, you can very well get a good chunk back when u do decide to get rid of it.. one issue would be road noise and comfort. You feel every bump but isnt that what a sports car is supposed to be like? The ******** makes u feel like ur strapped into a lotus elise, with high windows and bucket seats that wrap you into the car. The sound system is of good quality with 2 tweaters and 4 mids, with a nice sub behind the driver seat. The storage is different in teh fact that there is no glove compartment, but there is a storage behind teh passenger which can be a pain to get to, along with two d holders above that. The car does pose some really bad blind spots. The rear window is angled just right so that the z emblem gets a nice glare in sunlight into your eyes, also another blind spot behin your head at 7 and 4 o'clock. The exhaust system is really amazing i think and the car sounds mean. all in all, its a good bang for your buck, and its a beautiful car.

maybe I shouldve said I drive a mr2 turbo and a 240sx sr20det both on coilover lol, thats why I said what I did.

and with a 3100lbs curb wieght...that thing is a tank.

my mom has an 06 and before they signed the papers with the insurance saying that i cant drive it i used to take it out with dad and go and test it out on the interstate i had it up to about 120 and dad had it to 160 i think. but the faster you go the tighter the steering gets and the better the handling. it pisses me off that u cant purchase it with the twin turbos and if u put them on it voids the warrenty.

They cannot void a warranty by you putting on a turbo. they have to prove that whatever you did (aftermarket) caused the problem. The burden of proof is on them. thanks to the magnuson-moss act they cannot do this type of thing.

 

[peprshrmpluvr]

nissan and mitsubishi both have warranties that state, if anything aftermarket is added to a part of the vehicle, and that part of the vehicle experiences a problem that can be fixed under the warrarnty, they will not honor thier warranty...in other words, if u install or upgrade a stock turbo, and something on your motor goes bad, goodbye warranty and engine.

 

[oneradtek]

hence the fact if u want to do-up your ride, get a used one and make it better or just buy a fast car from the start that has all the things u want in it

Right, but that's not voiding your warranty. A voided warranty would be if you installed a turbo and something totally unrealted went out and they refused to honor the warranty be cause of it. They still have to prove that what you did, adding a turbo, caused the damage. Your post basically said the exact same thign that I posted.

 

[gillyweed]

Very true; Agent-X
and actually the manufacturer would still have to fix the engine in that scenario as well unless they can prove the aftermarket turbo caused the issue. The law states that car companies cannot void their warranty on anything not specifically effected by an aftermarket part; and in most cases (not all of course) it is nearly impossible for the company to prove what was effected. they also must still honor their warranty on anything that isn't effected by the change.
I used to fight with Jeep over that law so much that I had a laminated copy of it in my glove box. My 97 Wrangler was lifted with 35 inch mudders, lockers front and rear, 4.88:1 gearing, snorkel kit, heavily modified axles, onboard welder and air compressors, new ignition, and various other bits and pieces. Despite all of that; Jeep still had to fix multiple problems with the engine when they were unable to prove the damage was related to aftermarket items

They did manage to avoid a couple repairs they could prove were my doing, but not many...
The way most dealerships get around this is the simple fact that most people are too busy/lazy/uninformed to bother fighting them when they say no...

.
Not saying anyone here is...

Just that that is the general view from an average to below average dealer: "Tell 'em no and hope they don't know better or aren't willing to fight it." The good dealerships will generally fix issues anyway unless obviously customer-caused.
