Actually I was planning on calling AA this week to find out if you could make a strutbar for me. Currently there are none that work on a Z with the Crawford plenum and the Vortech SC.

A different plenum would be nice as well.

reen used to make the CF plates for two 52 mm gauges to fit within the NAV cubby..but doesn't make then any more I guess. Two 60 mm gauges won't fit inside side by side. The idea is to keep it "hidden" obviously..maybe a CF dash overlay that instead of a cutout for the stock stereo there would be three 60mm guage openings...kinda like a din gauge unit like what defi has but for 60mm units instead...

Affordable ITBs with a removable airbox. The airbox would be neded here in australia because of the noise regulations. But it should be very easy to remove as well, when on track or just cruising around.

Make sure that it replaces the intake manifold, also could be sold together with your fuel rails. And maybe so it would be controlled by the stock throttle body's servo.

I'd be in for the 3.7 final drive - and I know there would be tons of other G35 coupe/sedan guys that would be all over that...

Yeah I feel bad for you guys, but maybe you should have purchased a stick to begin with? The truth of the matter is that the majority of Z's on the road are stick so an even more aggressive gear setup than 3.9 would gave me sold.

Dave,

Behind the door is a relatively easy DIY mod. I was thinking more about a nicely machined and manufactured piece that would replace the NAV door, perfectly follow the contours of the center console, and allow the mounting of up to four gauges, depending on the design of the panel. It would also be great if the panel could be molded in a way so the gauges could be angled similar to the stock gauge pods. My preference would be to work the design around the Defi D-gauge series of 52mm gauges since the color scheme of these matches the interior of the Z almost perfectly when illuminated.

How about a plenum specifically for the G that takes into account that we don't have a strut bar.

-or-

A strut bar for the G. I know that Crawford tried to design one but decided that it was unfeasible for some reason, but I think that it's worth a second opinion.

Yes, I wanted the final drive for a manual not an auto. Also, that camera mount idea sounds great if it is affordable.
