didnt notice any difficulties in installing my Injen CAI with the exhaust timing tho... And I've been in contact with Mark at SGP and Peter at APS for quite a while now about going FI, and they said that any turbo kit would fit...just the tuning would need to be adjusted accordingly. The rev-up motor apparently responds a lot better to mods and after going FI, the rev-up motors puts a bit more power to the wheels than the 287hp engines at the same psi.

Am I just retarded? I can't tell the difference between track and non-track '06 wheels.

Well if you can't see the difference between the top picture and the bottom picture.

I must be getting old or something. I like the stock wheels much better than the track rims. I like the meat on the 19" rears but the design just doesn't do it for me at all. I also like the 03-05 headlights better than the '06's and am not wild about the LED tail lights. That being said, I'm still most likely going to get an '06 in the spring because I just love the car!

The bottom pic is of a GT with 18"/19" Rays set up. I know that much, my man. The rest of the trims don't have those wheels or the staggered set up, hence my confusion. I know Base, Enthusiast, and Touring have the same style wheels, but couldn't tell them apart from Track. The '03-'05 Tracks were imminently distinguishable.

This might be a stupid question, but do the 2006 floor mats fit in a 2005? And are they better quality than the 2005 (and previous) floor mats? I wore a hole in the driver-side mat in less than a month after buying the car.

My guess is yes, because the NISMO carpets haven't changed for the 2006 model.

yes... the difference with the factory Z Logo floor mats between 2003-2005 and the 2006 is the material...

the 2006 is a more nylon like material... shinnier material, they are suposed to be more durable...

but with them all coming with the heal pad, they are all pretty good..

all available on www.mynismo.com

Cool. I didn't know the '06's came with new floor mats. The ones in my '03 were getting a little thin where the heel went. I even have a spare set in the attic.

Jason,

Have you put together an 06 non brembo brake upgrade package for the 03-05 non brembo Zs?


Thx
