BWAHAHAHAHAH this is a total fake. I can't believe people would actually bid on this. I took a look at the dyno sheet as well....peak power at 3700rpm? 4wd vehicle? I think someone's been stealing some dyno sheets from another car. Oh....and the fact that the car looks like crap with the wheels and a sad sad replicated front bumper.

BTW.....he's supposedly from beverly hills but has Arizona plates?! Is there a beverly hills in Arizona?

if you look real close at the dyno, you'll notice thats peak tq at 3700rpm at almost 850lb/ft... which i guess could be possible with a built motor, but unfortuneately, this guy is too dumb to tell you he's got it backwards...

its like 720hp and 840tq... thats pretty good, but it looks like a doctor'd dyno to me.

Hahahahaha, this car is at VRT right now getting the engine that blew up rebuilt. He had his boost set at 30 psi with a 250hp shot of nitrous lol. He made it to 22psi and the engine was toast. Ty and I looked at that car in person and it is FUGLY. He has one of those stick on wood dash kits and some tweeters that hang down like microphones. Not to mention the 100 lb. nitrous bottle in the back. Oh and sitting behind it is one of those subwoofer boxes you get at best buy lol. He wants to make 1000whp on stock non-brembo brakes, stock suspension, and those god aweful 20s.

Wonder if he was planning on letting any possible buyers know about this?

Here his story.....

I had a spun bearing and I am putting everything brand new and sleeving the motor stronger and upgrading the cams. I will give it to the buyer with a brand new built motor. It is my 4th motor and hopefully the last. I don't think that the car was tuned properly, but the lucky buyer will get a more powerful engine than I had before. If I don't sell the car, I will put the Nissan Titan engine, 5.6L V8.

Oh wow. This guy is really something.

Chris Forsberg had a 350Z with the 5.6L at SEMA. He's also the one with the 350Z with an SR20DET.

Hmmm....I'm still raising the flag on this one. 4 motors later? I'm thinking that is 3 too many to have the excuse of "I think it was a bad tune!" Hmm....it's a bad tune because this whole story is BS. GReddy TT for the 350Z/G35 is only rated up to 600hp. As far as I can tell those TD05 turbos never got swapped out with any custom setup (at least not on his webpage). Now he's graduated to the Academy of V8 Engine Swaps? Yeah....not buying it...by the way guys my RB26DETT will be here next week for my swap, just need some guys to show up at my garage for the install!

So what you're saying is that it's not ok to run a 250 shot along with 22 pounds of boost? Nah, I don't believe it. I'm gonna try it anyways.

Yeah, it was nuts! I didn't chime in because I thought it was stupid to begin with.
