Not hating, just curious.
Most likely because the 2j in factory OEM form can handle twice the amount of power that a factory VQ can handle

While I dont disagree, but keeping in mind your probably at 8k for this 2jz swap (if not more) , that's a fair amount of VQ motor work.

Roughly 7k for everything and the reason is infact the vq is a good motor but not when boost is involved.too many blown stories and the jz is stout and proven plus since I've always wanted a supra this is the next best thing for me especially in an updated chassis and one im familiar with along with the fact it's not a common swap ands I've been sponsored by wiring specialties to have every function work as oem in the car.
I'm just on the fence with the safc tuning for now as my funds are short and with xmas coming.I drove it a little and it handles awesome!!!!

As for the Collins adaptor its great ands was a smooth process.I use a350z clutch,jwt street clutch kit with z pressure plate,tob ect.everything you use is a related 03-04-and the trans is butter smooth and responsive, not like an r154 which to me is pointless.also to anyone doing this, save your self the hassle ands use OEM NISSAN MANUAL TRANS FLUID!!!! This transmission asks for it nothing more nothing less take my word for it.

that's awesome, do you have pics of the transmission adapter parts? i see on the flywheel/adapter end it looks very similar to mine. you didn't have to shave your bellhousing though eh? So your car makes no difference in noise when you clutch in? i know a lot of stock 350z guys have complained about the idle rattle on their cars too based on searching forums..
