Default Hi everyone new Z

I recently just got an 2004 Silver Stone 350z base model all stock body Z
with a Turbonetics kit installed.

I have been having a few minor problems with it.
after the turbo kit has been put in the gas meter has been acting weird like it will never show that it has full tank and it fluctuates a lot. The ac line has been cut off since it cannot be mounted the same way again, I have herd of this shop Treadstone.com who makes custom 350z t ac lines around $150. When the turbo gauges were installed the Z didnt have a lot of fusses so the Turning signal light in the interior was dislocated and replaced for a autometer. I have no idea how to make that work. And also the clutch doesnt feel right... it has a stock clutch i think it needs a new stage clutch (correct me if im wrong) and last but not least it is base model so no factory HIDs so i guess aftermarket would benefit me the most, i was wondering if i could change the lights to auto that would be nice because i keep forgetting to turn them off. (please tell me this is possible).

In 3 days i will be putting new rubber with enkei RPF1 SBCs
18x9.5 +15 front with 20mm spacer
18x10.5+15 rear with 20mm spacer
Pics will hopefully be up soon

lol ugh you but a turbo Z that you didnt have the service and shop history on?? also, Z doesnt have that, not even my 07. Also, if you count over 10mins the auto turn off then ya sure. Also, who ever was snipping the wires/hose lines apparently never worked on a Z before...

This is what i got from reading what you said but in for pics of the enkeis

Lol yes it was quite a deal. i traded my 04 Lexus is300 for it. The Turbo works perfect just small things like the above post. so does anyone know how to fix the fuel gage and turning signal? also i would like my lights to shut of automatically when i close my doors, does HID kits do this? thanks

Admire your courage, I would have never bought a modified car if I didn't know where it came from...obvoius reasons are potential abuse and/or poor job on maintenance and install...best of luck anyway and congrats on a Z
