Welcome!
Great color.Yeah,black seats will really work.
20" wheels?Not too keen on 20's on a Z.
You like it.Thats all that counts.
Just my opinion,the Nismo exhaust is great.I've
got on my Z.Not too loud,great tone.Its especially
good if you do any hwy driving.Excellent quality.
On the intake,save your money.The Nismo(made by AES)
is way overpriced.Unless you want to brag that you have a
Nismo,the performance is the same as a Popcharger and others.
Actually,the stock airbox with a K&N dropped in does just as well.
The spacer will make the difference.Again,its just a piece of metal.
They all work about the same.I've got a Z-1 that I bought for $135
works great.
Good luck on your Z!

welcome and congrats on the 350z, i am running Nitto tires too and so far so good.

+1 on the Z1 plenum spacer. I installed mine yesterday, along with a pop charger. Great bang for your buck considering the price of the CAI the OP listed is around the same cost.

Thanks for all the welcome guys, y'all got some great lookin Z's.
I know what you mean about the 20's, Im not to fond of em. I replaced the tires as a must cuz the originals on the rear were both bald. Should add 19" rims and tires to my list.
JCITY do you mind tellin me where you got your spacer from? Im still trying to decide where to get one from.
