Twisted here , Well thanks Jeff for making that call for me to Stillen, I hooked up with them for a cata-back system and its just perfect for me. Like a woman, she purrs when you stroke her and barks loadly when you kick her. You Borla guys are missing out ,Hp but little torque. On idle the Stillens cat-backs the are great ,there is no engine noise at all, most of the time I think the engine ,must of stalled out.
While at Stillen, I had them install a Ap racing front brake with a Stillen one piece rotor . Boy is this a sweet set up and it still fits my stock chrome 17" rims. I really am quite happy with them. The rear brake kits will be available in about 60 days they said. Till then the stock rears will have to do.
Hey my 350 may still be only a auto eranny but I falling in love again, any way the left foot doesn't miss the work out in LA traffic.
Jeff, I'll stop by for lauch 2 on Monday when you get back. I really would like to try out the s-tune package and the Michelin sport tires. This time I like to pilot a little ,if I may, I'd to get the feel of the road harshness of this set up.. No crazy stuff I promise?
If you or Jenny have 1st,3rd or 5th Sundays of the months open I like to have you both as my guest at one of our shoots. I can provide you everything. Equipment and expert training. What goes around comes around with me.
If Any of you forum guys are also into guns too, your also invited.

Ps Jeff can you get Crawford Plenums?

Got a couple of ?'s, I know Jeff's out of town, but does anyone know:
1. ...how much it cost him for the CAI, Cams, Headers, High Flow Cats, and exhaust.
2. Are people still having problems with the ECU and adding performance upgrades. I haven't read any performance threads in awhile.

Jeff. I can't find a local dealer that will put on Nismo cams. I have been holding on mods. I have a great local mechanic that will help me do some stuff but he does not want to touch the cams. They all say it is not worth their time. They can make much more money with easy stuff. I know that makes sense but it makes it painful for me.

Save your money for a set of cat pipes or high flows next. It will make that car come alive after the cam install. I still can't get over how much of a difference they made!!

I am picking up a Redline Track next month. I am having Stillen exhaust, Nismo CAI and flywheel installed. Shuld I have the Nismo clutch installed as well? What is the advantage? Street and maybe autocross usage.
Also I would like to lower the car about .75 Inches. What would be the right springs, Nismo?

Just out of curiosity, what would be the reasons for upgrading your clutch in the Z if you don't plan on doing big torque increases? (such as FI) For example, I plan to keep the car naturally aspirated, but upgrade it as much as possible along that line. (exhaust, headers, cams, flywheel, etc.) Would there really be any reason to spend the money on an upgraded clutch?
I'm assuming the factory clutch is capable of more torque than the car puts out stock. So, if I'm able to upgrade the engine to maybe 300-310 ft-lbs, shouldn't the stock clutch be just fine? I know that doing the clutch at the same time as the flywheel is a good idea due to labor costs, but why spend the money on the clutch parts at all?

Always looking at lightening the Z a bit. I saw on your site (Preformance Nissan ) that you are selling an Optima lightweight Battery, that weights 27 lbs. Anyone know how much of a savings this is compared to the stock battery?

Jeff, last time I was there for an oil change I saw your Z parked just outside by Rik's window nose-to-nose with another Z with custom wheels. I was like WOAH, that looks amazing, I thought it was for sale or something but didn't see a sticker on the window.
