Default a couple questions

Has anyone seen carbon fiber door handles for the Z?
what justifies the cost of some of these big brake kits?
Has anyone put a better clutch in their 2007-2008 350z with the Hr motor?, If so what kind was it, and how does it perform.
I was also wondering if the brakes on the 370z (which I think are brembos with nissans name slapped on it) will fit on the 350z?
Why are the prices for coilovers on the Z the same price as coilovers on the subbbies, when they have true coilovers all around and the Z just has a spring and a shock in the rear?
Why do all the people who sell coilovers for the Z, never show pictures of the actual set, they always show pictures of four true coilovers, I ask this cause I want to see the actual hardware I am getting.
Why does'nt the Z have true coilovers in the rear? (by true I mean coil over shock)
Since I put 19" on my Z, I noticed the steering is a little slow, I guess since its taxing the power steering more, so can I get a diffrent size pully?
When will unortodox make a crank pully for the HR.
How come no one has even mentioned the possibility of putting the GTR motor in the Z?
Why has'nt the after market developed a one peice turbo/exhaust manifold for the Z, and in general, like on the GTR?
Is Siebon as good as C west?
Do you like big butts?
What are the downsides to running 19" rims, in terms of hanling characterisitics, what are the pros and cons of 19"s verse 18" ot 17" inch tires? I guess I am trying to ask if 19" are for looks only?
Can R compund tires be used on our stock rims ?
Why does'nt any one just make a carbon fiber rear hatch with out a window, that would be real light and probably more durable? I can bearly see out the back anyway.
Is there any way to get that Do Luck 3d gtwing?
Has anyone had there windshield replaced, if so does it look good when there done, I mean do all the seals and mouldings go back in like factory? I wanna replace mine, its so messed up already with scrathces and thousands of tiny little chips.
Is there any way to get some of the parts that are on the 380rs in Japan?
How do you guys think my black 2007 350z would look with a Ver.2 bumber and the sides that are on the nismo edition Z?

LOL. OP I'm very very glad you condensed your questions into one thread instead of starting a million other ones like some dumb a$$ noobs do other wise. Hope your questions get answered. =)

Covers, yes. Full carbonfiber handles might not be strong enough.

Name brand, quality, and size of components.

If so what kind was it, and how does it perform.
Of course. Search the drivetrain forum.

I was also wondering if the brakes on the 370z (which I think are brembos with nissans name slapped on it) will fit on the 350z?
Nissan didn't rebadge any Brembos. Wait until someone tries it.

Why are the prices for coilovers on the Z the same price as coilovers on the subbbies, when they have true coilovers all around and the Z just has a spring and a shock in the rear?
Explain "true coilover".

Why do all the people who sell coilovers for the Z, never show pictures of the actual set, they always show pictures of four true coilovers, I ask this cause I want to see the actual hardware I am getting.
Ask them.

Why does'nt the Z have true coilovers in the rear? (by true I mean coil over shock)
IUGHghiufgafg

Since I put 19" on my Z, I noticed the steering is a little slow, I guess since its taxing the power steering more, so can I get a diffrent size pully?
I have 19" wheels on mine. Steering is the same. Don't buy big *** heavy wheels.

When will unortodox make a crank pully for the HR.
Call them and ask.

How come no one has even mentioned the possibility of putting the GTR motor in the Z?
Do you realize how much a GTR engine costs??

Why has'nt the after market developed a one peice turbo/exhaust manifold for the Z, and in general, like on the GTR?
To keep options open, for room, and easier to replace.

Is Siebon as good as C west?
Sometimes

Do you like big butts?
Kinda big, but not fatty, higgly ones that resemble jello.

What are the downsides to running 19" rims, in terms of hanling characterisitics, what are the pros and cons of 19"s verse 18" ot 17" inch tires? I guess I am trying to ask if 19" are for looks only?
Spend the money and buy lightweight 19" wheels. You won't notice a difference other than ride quality.

Can R compund tires be used on our stock rims ?
....

Why does'nt any one just make a carbon fiber rear hatch with out a window, that would be real light and probably more durable? I can bearly see out the back anyway.
It is illegal to not have a back window...

Is there any way to get that Do Luck 3d gtwing?
Do you have money?

Has anyone had there windshield replaced, if so does it look good when there done, I mean do all the seals and mouldings go back in like factory? I wanna replace mine, its so messed up already with scrathces and thousands of tiny little chips.
Mine was replace with Nissan glass. Came out perfect.

Is there any way to get some of the parts that are on the 380rs in Japan?
If you have the money, of course.

How do you guys think my black 2007 350z would look with a Ver.2 bumber and the sides that are on the nismo edition Z?
I'm sure someone has this combination already. Search the Media Share forum.
