I got a Plenum spacer and a Greddy intake installed today. :-)

The only issue is the bar going across the top of the engine doesn't fit now.
Any suggestions?

Washers from ace, h depot, or Lowes. Watch that hood though.

doesnt Motordyne send strut tower bar spacers when you buy their plenum spacer?

make sure you get some kind of air box or heat shield for the intake... stock intake design is hard to beat.

It's not a motordyne
There is very little to no room between the hood and plenum now.

I'm saying **** it tomorrow and I'm ordering Toyo R888s 305s and Yoko AD08 275s for my RE30s. Also setting up a CIN Motorsports appointment for some things and will probably install various suspending bushings with the help of a friends press machine.

Went for a cruise. Was stopped at a light and looked over to see a little kid with his face plastered to the back passenger window of the car next to me. His parents smiled at me, so I gave the Z a good rev, and the kid went bananas..hahhaah. Parents gave me a thumbs up and the kid was clapping and jumping around in the back seat.

Cant count how many times I was that little kid in the back of my parents car staring at some sports car...

Modified my Stillen Gen 3 intakes for a better fit inside the bumper today. I didn't like how tight everything fit together so I added silicone elbows like the Injen version and also hump connectors to relieve stress on the pipes and filters.
