PLEASE DON'T REPLY WITH THE SEARCH S**T ANYMORE. I don't have time to sit here and reas through three years of threads like some of you folks. If the search function was better I would be able to use it more effectively but as I've stated before it is not very effective. You can't even get a title with two words that you want in it.

F/I is pretty cost-effective too if you're willing to spend the money.

reason is FI will not last you till 150,000, STAY N/A!

Why search when you can just browse and read whatever topics interest you? The most popular or asked about threads show up towards the beginning anyhow.
Have you tried browsing threads beyond the 350Z section? Since you ask a performance related question, it is best to take a trip to the Tech section. It narrows down to specifics, so I won't doubt you'll find some intriguing information shared and asked by other members. If you have a general, non-specific question in your head, it is highly likely it has been discussed. Such general questions usually lie within the more "popular" threads. Even if it is not as specific to your needs, at least you'll find something that might suit your interests and you can delve deeper from there.
For example, here is a sticky posted by one of our long-term members from the Tech section:
https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/50429-new-350z-owners-read-this-before-doing-any-modifications-to-your-z.html
Searching is not an impossibility. If I can use it, you can too! Start with the stickies first.
Metaphorically speaking, how well do you do when it comes to writing research papers? How do you find your sources?
Okay so maybe you are not enthusiastic about writing a paper, but how enthusiastic are you with your Z purchase? Find what appeals to you and start digging for additional information. If the product exists, chances are there has been a topic about it. If it's an intake/exhaust question, visit that tech section. After reading a few threads, you be the judge.

I don't want things that relate to my questions. I want my questions answered. Thats what a forum is for let me do this again - FORUM: an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of QUESTIONS of public interest.

Therefore, stick to OEM if you don't want to risk reliability.
Aftermarket FI will always reduce reliability no matter how properly setup it is. It is beyond the original specifications of the vehicle.
It is like overclocking a computer. You run the computer out of spec, so it increases chances of failure. Once it fails, you are SOL when it comes to warranty.

Who is going to be liable if the cheaply manufactured bulb explodes and ruins the headlight assembly?

Whatever you say buddy, im sure you had good intent when you wrote that but to a newb your sending the wrong message. First off if it can void your warranty, use your brains and take the part off before you go to the dealer for a warranty claim. And most important boltons for na are not going to kill your car. It will still be reliable as you can see from the hundreds of ***** on here who have gone mod crazy and are still running strong.
