350Z update

[NSRsheets]

I'm in the process of getting the Z ready for Carlisle. I finally got some money to do some upgrades to the Z as well as some upkeep work. So far I've got some new Yokohama ES100's, Greddy EVO2 true dual exhaust, a intake plenum spacer, and from Djnaz I got a Ings N+ spec body kit. Soon I willl also have some drilled and slotted rotors and hawk pads. If money and time permits maybe also some pulstar plugs. Now on to some pics.

Here's Joe (NSR_G50) Removing some bolts to remove the stock muffler.

Here's a video of it with the exhaust and test pipes.

The Angled intake manifold spacer

If anyone plans on getting this exhaust contact me for help with the install. You have to move the Evap canister and some bolts are hard to get to. More to come as I get it done.

^ you're crazy sheets, how cold was it when you were doing your exhaust swap? I can see some unmelted snow in the background.

looks good, cant wait for the rest

It was actually upper 40's - low 50's outside. That snow is still left from the major snow storm that came through the midwest a couple of weeks ago.

dude looks pretty good!! how does it sound?? ok i might sound like a DA but what does that spacer do?? i dont currently own a z but hopefully pretty dang soon so im still learning about em... waiting to ship my 300zx to canada....

Nice job Sheets I have been watching you post your plans for your exhaust, glad to see you got to to do it. Looks good, but I guess my other question is how does it sound. Is it deeper, and is there a slight bit tighter feel under the pedal?

[Low_Cost]

The spacer just lets the engine breathe better. Not really noticeable at low RPM's, but it's night and day 5500+. Lots more pull (at least that's what it feels like after the install :p)

o sweet! is it a pain in the ars to install??? is it worth the money? seems like abuncha people are putting those on...guessing its a good buy.....

[NSRsheets]

It sounds great. I recomend if your getting test pipes to get the ones with the high flow cats in them as they take away some of the minor raspyness up top. Check out the video of it to hear what it sounds like. The intake manifold spacer takes a little time to install. You have to remove the intake and everything connected to the manifold. I'm need to replace my plugs (only good for 105k) so I'm going to do it all at once. I'll have pics of that install once I get my plugs.

Sounds good Josh.

Take lots of pictures for a plenum install article (unless we have one already)

[bmike818]

looks like you're getting ready for another car show

[NSRsheets]

Djnaz just was selling it for really cheap so I couldn't pass it up. I wanted to get it eventually anyway.
