GT5 Transcripts/Nissan OPTION Stream Z '04

In 2004, Japan's foremost tuner-car magazine, Option, tackled the Silver State Classic Challenge in the U.S. for the second year in a row, and the car they built for the race was this Stream Z ver. 2. Built to travel a distance of 89.4 miles at an average top speed of over 186 mph, the car was equipped with a powerful engine and numerous other tuning upgrades.
The body parts were supplied by Top Secret, an aftermarket tuner specializing in high-speed cars. Aerodynamic performance was improved by widening the fenders by 1.9 inches on each side and extending the front overhang by 7 inches. The new body kit would provide gobs of downforce, necessary to keep the car stable at high speed. JUN Auto, a highly-respected afternarket tuner that had been associated with the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC), did the rest.
In addition to installing custom pistons, and connecting rods and a new crankshaft to the VQ powerplant, displacement was increased to 3,772 cc. Also, a Trust GReddy T88H-38GK turbocharger was bolted onto the V6, allowing it to generate up to 986 HP. The suspension was a custom-built unit by ZEAL Super Function, designed to withstand the rigers of a prolonged high-speed run.
The car's brakes were upgrades to 6-pot calipers in front and 4-pot calipers at rear. And as a safety measure, a complex roll cage was installed inside the cabin.
