True, but obviously, it is a little simpler or just slipped in anime. Also, that's why he overheated the engine at one point.

Ikr he literally pushed it to so much horsepower and boost for that is too much

That's why he blew his engine. It's the same in the anime, in the games and in the manga. Haruda just knows how to stack on power but forgets about the vital things, coolant. That's why despite pushing his Z31 beyond what was safe for a VG30 which is about 450, his car was pushing 550hp with about 1.8bar as stated in the manga but due to him pushing it to the ragged edge every time he overtakes the Blackbird and such, it could not keep the speed long enough before the heat catches up. That's why Hiramoto is the better tuner who could use less to do more. Keep in mind that his GTR only has about 600hp and he's able to keep up with them and even outpace both the Blackbird and Devil Z if he just din't let go and retire.

the rpms werent the problem.. it was the massive boost.. still the fact that he got to over 500hp with little money and managed to run at 300kmh is quite a feat itself

Imagine the Z31 in Pixel Car Racer , instant 2000hp all day

@@hybridShinx The anime/manga is set in 1998/1999, but what If we have a time jump in 2005 Harada (now at his mid 20's) finds a wrecked 350Z, in a junkyard and takes the VQ35 with the transmission and a few parts, to swap it into his Z31 It could be turned into a baby Devil Z, considering the potential of the VQ engines.

@@BlazebeatRacing Mine was stock turbo but I dialed up the boost. XD

@@hangemhighhilton Did you at least upgrade the cooling system tho? Can't lie, I probably would have done the same with a factory turbo car. What boost were you running?

@@BlazebeatRacing Or probably was too thin in fuel

I mean this seems to be the reason both Mazda and Toyota haven’t gone down the path of downsizing the engine and using a turbo like everyone else. It might be a better balance between fuel economy and power, but forcing air into an engine has to have more reliability issues than an engine breathing naturally. The new civics aren’t old enough for reliability issues to show, but I bet they will have shorter life spans than the 2000s era civics.

How about the supra?

that fc is a 20b? if i rmb correctly its jus a 13bt with some bigger turbo and tunning... fc supra r33 and the evo they both can fight devil z and black bird.... and also there is a demo car which i believe can outrun all of them since that r33 has around 800hp all of them has lower output evo450 devilz600 blackbird700 fc idk supra 600

@@rexgui9360 Yeah I guess it really depends were they race. But none of those cars/drivers seem to have the endurance that the Porsche and Z have.

@@BlazebeatRacing the fc probably can but the weight of the chassis doesn't allow it... and when he let go they are both in the corner when z trying pass he from the outside if straight road the fc probably have around 40% chance to pass the Z as for the supra its the owner fault he didnt really tuned it correctly he spoiled the turbine and the chassis so his supra cant handle those power anymore in reality ppl always talk shit about how bad the supra is when its around the corner but some of them prove them wrong.... you can find it in utube there is a supra that smoked porsche ferrari bmw in the nurburing that demo car im sure if it is driven by blackbird evo supra owner or akio that r33 probably gonna smoked all of them the wangan emperor blackbird its still faster than the Z if the owner didnt decide to go full carbon in the last round maybe they are even or the blackbird win..... the doctor doesn't even hit 300kmh due to the traction on the front wheel if he continue to step it he will die for sure...

and I love the fact that they are underrated

There was a race car called Nissan GTP-ZX which ran at IMSA races during the 1980s. That car had a pretty nice VG30ET boosted to some 650/700 hp and 70 kgf/m of torque. So, that engine was pretty much solid enough for that output. But the performance for ET versions was very limited to that factor, sicne they weren't resistant enough to survive long running. In fact, I'd be more worried with overheating than metal wearing. With a forged crankshaft, the rest is pretty much up to your taste. Things got way better in the DETT versions, with the Fairlady Z32, the same car Jun Auto barely modified to clock 400 kph at Bonneville Salt Flats. But the magic of these "miladies" (Z31 and Z32) are on the body. They are just too perfect for grand touring at highways. The Porsches and "grannies" 240/280-Z have no aerodynamic control at the rear. The car reacts like a flying wing at high speeds and you can only mantain speed enough if you're going fully straight. Once you get a long curve, you're doomed if you don't have a big airfoil on the rear. The "boxy" design of Z31 and Z32 help in keeping downforce at rear and perforating the air smoothly at the front. Something not seriously considered by the author of the manga/anime. In the performance-investment, the miladies Z31 and Z32 are better than anything else. Not even the Supra and NSX come close to that. Maybe a NSX with lots of money invested. But then MR layout is another league and we're talking about a specific model designed to beat very refined european MR exotics. In the cheap FR league, Z31 and Z32 still top of the line.

Interesting theory. It's possible. But if that is so, why did he go to all the trouble to clone a 50th Anniversary Special Edition 300ZX? 🤔

@@BlazebeatRacing That's what i was wondering as well. Perhaps he just wanted it to look like one?Or maybe he cloned it just to stand out?

nope, just similar cars

Or he could just do a 2JZ swap haha

He's got right stuff just his personality makes him take the faster ruite into getting deep instead of slow tuning that explores all avenues under all conditions

Dak Leonardo yeah heb could :D Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought engine swapping wasn't really a thing back then.

idk but it would be easy compared to all the work he's done to his Z31 already haha

Dak Leonardo yes, but the kinda knowledge he learned will make him a better engine tuner, even with egine swaps, it will help him get attuned and push it to the max too

Fact

I think it's set in the 90's, when 5-speeds were the best you could reasonably get. their ratios were prolly set for close-to-optimum use of the powerband since either big or twin turbos were the go-to choices for power. there's also the big prob of aero drag at 255+kph, especially when the longest stretch is above the bay

he was tunning cheap.. still respect what he managed even if it ended in a burn engine.. for a time he managed to take on even the BlackBird.. The series is about proper tunning.. this shows why.. adding just boost and a bigger intercooler/inyector and remaping isnt gonna make miracles.. the gearbox..suspension and geometries..cooling.. even the oil system need to be done...

Z31s are indeed cool cars than a GTR

Dak Leonardo I agree, I'd drive one of those or a 180sx over a gtr, and a little fact, in the manga and in wangan midnight maximum tune his name is Harada

I'd take a 180sx for sure man. And yeah someone else was mentioning his name is Harada too. I haven't read the manga, but it's weird they would change his name in the anime.

They are cool cars for sure! You can always put a dry NOS kit in instead of turbo and it'll give you 50+hp for cheap. It won't hurt the engine either if you do it right. I might eventually put a 70 shot in my S130 for spirited driving.

Awh I love S130's. I don't know anything about tuning so I was actually just gonna leave it stock. She's gonna be my daily.

That's awesome! Nothing wrong with a stock Z. My 280ZX was my daily for the first year I owned it, I had built a track-ready '76 Austin Mini for my Summer ride, but I ended up liking the 280 way more, sold the Mini, and got another fun car for my winter ride. I regret using the 280 for that winter though, but it was very fun drifting on the snow haha. Even pulled some 80km/h drifts! My advice to you is to get another car for winter (if you get snow).

Well I live in the south part of the US so there really isn't a say if I get snow or not. Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't. Either way I don't think my mother would let me drive in the snow so that shouldn't be a worry for me. Just gotta store her properly.

Blown Z31 engine

*GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD*

Yeah, he says it's a td08. It's a huge diesel engine turbo. It's bigger than your head.

I am under the impression that the Z31 is more of a grand touring machine than a touge carver. It's quite a heavy car. It makes sense imo

@@WanganTunedKeiCar a Z31 is heavy? In what world? The Z32 yeah, it's heavier, but a Z31 isn't that heavy. In the 3.0 V6 300ZX configuration I'd say that it is more of a Grand Tourer because the transmission paired with it, it's got longer gears than the standard 2.0, 200Z/ZG/ZR. The gearing in the 200 was much more Touge/Rally like. In the 2+2 seat variant the extra 8 inches helped the chassis sit better in corners and cured the twitchiness the regular 2 seat variant had in hard cornering. Also if we're talking heavy cars that performed well on Touge, R32/33/34 were all heavier than the Z31, the Celica GT was also heavier, Supra was slightly heavier.

@@Dominik189 I'm not saying it can't work on the touge, but what you're saying, that the Z31 isn't suited for the Shuto, is wrong. If that was the case, the S30Z would be an absolute garbage choice, lightweight and aero-less as it is. With a car like that, you'd be hard-pressed not to--I don't know...--lose traction and *freaking die*
