But but but..... what about that "JDM Swag" value??

Laff... I remember when we (Datsun Comp) brought in special competition parts "from the JDM", never realizing it'd be a trendy way of life and an apparent validation of its quality.

I assure you that that last point is a fallacy. Snicker snicker....

PS And yes, I'm fully aware that JWT and K&N are USDM products.... just sayin'... laff................

I'm using the same maf adapter until I can put in the larger maf housing. The filter you posted only has a 3'' adapter and not a velocity stack, but I do agree mostly about most filters having the same 'performance' effect . The spectre filter I had was too big and for the hassle of making a heatshield/bracket for it, I decided the jwt would work/look better in the long run.

I took her out to meet some new friends in the new big city!

(The San Marino Blue one was the most well sorted, and was there early enough to have good lighting)

In the last 2 days I have replaced my radio, fixed my hatch (the previous owner had the brackets on upside down) and reprogramed the window motor( previous owner again).

Thx, Chad. Sooper simple! I leave my under- tray off, so really only 2 tensioners and related pulley bolts.

Waited a few for it to cool off, done in 20 minutes.
Enjoy your weekend, Chad!

Nice to meet you.
I trust Dayco belts. They've been around a very long time.

nice to meet you too. Im Mike my wifey bought me a sweet 350z a few months ago so I would be less lame and ive been scouring this forum for useful information ever since.

I cant even remember the last time I needed to change a belt but I would probably just go too Napa and put on whatever garbage they sell me. For the z I would probably just get the oem one from z1 with the pulley delete. My pulleys all look like **** so I might need to upgrade when I get around too it.
