2 questions for you...
1 - are you planing to modify the intake manifold some more? it looks like the 2 front cylinders will be running rich and the back 2 lean coz it does not redistribute air evenly from that angle it has ( just like to original vq35 manifold )

2 - the 240 axels would they directly fit a 350z?? im looking to upgrade my axels but they are just too expensive for the 350z

Im pretty sure the angle wont be an issue, its a stock VQ30DET intake manifold all I did was modify the direction the air enters. Its exactly how Nissan designed it other than that.

The 240 axles are the same length as the 350z, but as far as the splines that go into the diff im not sure on those.

Got my seat skins in today! Damn I love ebay!

I am going for this look, its the interior of an audi TT roadster:


I love the camel/black color scheme looks so classy. So here are what my skins look like for my 350z seats (Color is closer to the Audi TT, camera on my phone not so good):


And the money shot embroidered logo, I love it.

You cant beat real leather skins for $180 plus $50 for the embroidery.

Now I just have to have the door panels recovered with inserts to match the skins.

On a side note progress on the project will slow down a bit till I get situated. I just purchased my first house and I am not sure what extra change I will have for the project. No worries I will do whatever it takes to complete this project I will never quit till it is complete. The slowing of the project is not a big deal as I am getting into the technical wiring aspect of the vehicle which I will cover as best as I can for those who want to know. Stay tuned.

They guarantee the skins to be 100% European leather hides or your money back.

Here is a link to their store:
eBay Store - realleathers: TOYOTA, HONDA, LEXUS

You have to get on the ones with no reserve for your best deal. You also have the option of adding seat warmers and embroidery which they will contact you about after bidding. They are familiar with all the USDM logos as well as the JDM logos so tell them what you are looking for if you decide to have embroidery done and they will send you a chart of logos to choose from. Then it takes a couple of weeks from there to recieve the skins

Oh, you meant you have to get on the ones with no reserve for your best deal. Why didn't you say that?
