Ditto, it has a very exotic note and I bought the entire race exhaust system. Best part is I have barely, if not any rasp. I love it, at start up it has a nice rumble and at WOT that **** screams.

Here's a snap of my full race exhaust system. I'm close to done with engine mods install; I'm in the middle of polishing some engine parts so more will come as I get closer to piecing the car together.

Just finished installing engine parts, except my Stillen crank pulley. I tried with a breaker bar, but I need an extender for more leverage. I wish I was 100% done with my engine mods install by this time, but oh well things always come up. Anyone know where to get those aluminum (polished) p-steering and coolant reserviors? I took pix last night in my garage, I'll try to take some out with natural light later today..... maybe even with a video clip

What exhaust are you running? Turbo XS with test pipes?

You're seriously ocd! Can't believe you are worst then I am. You even put blocks on top of your jack stands? Any rear shots of how the exact looks like.

LOL, that way it doesn't leave impressions (dents) underneath It was a challenge to get it up on all four with only one hydraulic jack and one scissor jack. Bringing it down was much easier.

Teaser engine bay shot. I ended up changing a few things, nothing major but I'm not fully satisfied yet. Here's two pix for now

Front view..... more detailed pix when I'm done.


One of my biggest polishing challenges was stripping the ugly blue paint off my Greddy strut bar brackets and polishing it.

Tnx, a lot of work and thinking is going on for this car. I can't make up my mind about some of the most minute parts. I need to take a break, lol.

Soon, I want to get a rolling shot so you guys can actually see the car and hear it when its in motion. I just gotta finish installing two more parts and get someone to hold the video camera.

I love it too. You pay a lot of attention to detail, makes the whole car quality.

My Z gets a lot more attention now. I used to have a S14 SE and Hatchi Roku, but I got rid of them because they took a lot of time and attention away from my 350z. It's much more easier to focus on just one car so attention to detail became a pet peeve to me.

I must say I love your car setup, nice and clean just the way I like it.

Also I really like your big bro's wagon. Good thing you pushed him to the hellaflush side..

Can't wait for more updates.

Yeah, I've been pushing my bro to go wide. He just sold his wheels and plans on going even wider.

I just finished working on the car (I love the weekends) and as long awaited as it's been to feel this way, I'm finally pleased with the way the engine looks. I'm going to take photo's today and try to get my wife to hold the video camera for some vids.
