Default N00b here. Hello all!

I am now (finally) a proud owner of a 2006 350Z Enthusiast. I have sooo many questions to ask, so I'm hoping this forum will help. So far I've been browsing around the site and it has so much information I don't even know where to start; so I'll start here, lol.

I purchased the JWT Pop Charger but don't want to install it until my car is broken-in. When I purchased my car they were going over the general maintenance information (break-in period, first oil change, tire rotation), but I was too excited to even listen. Can anyone help me out with this? (Sorry for being so n00b :P).

Lastly, I am leaning towards the RO_JA R2-5 Wheels (Mercury Carbon Black):

The setup I want is the 19x8.5 +25(F)/19x10.5 +32(R). What tire size/application do you all recommend?

Thanks for the help!

i would just throw the popcharger in now, the break in time doesnt really matter if you are just putting on an intake. Nice wheels, there are a few different widths you can run on a 10.5 rim, anywhere between 275 and 305 will fit on a 10.5 rim.

Congrats and welcome.
If you're planning on lowering your car, I'd go with a 285 tire, or if your not, then go with a 295.

Welcome AwesomeSauce, I'm sure you'll enjoy driving the Z likes it's stolen once the engine is run in.

Glad to see you're changing the wheels, which means you'll be changing from the factory RE040 tyres. GS-D3's are a great tyre option on a Z.

Congrats! I hope you're enjoying it as much as I still am. Start saving up those ducats as it is easy to get mod crazy.
