I also noticed that the intake made you take out the second strut bar...

I had to call STILLEN on that one, looks like Air box is in the way of bar.

They told me that they have install this kit on other NISMO 350z before and did not have a problem, so there is something that I may did not do correctly

Going to try and put it back on again and see if Air box's can go down just a little more. STILLEN told me that they will work with me to get this issue fixed.

Even if means using there Core Bar they that have out.

Don't listen to some of these haters. Just jealous because they can't afford a NISMO. I say mod you car how ever you want, I mean it is your car!

Not sure what you mean by this. Obviously you are clueless to all the NISMO has to offer. It's not just a body kit and wing.

i know exactly what a nismo comes with, just seems like most people buy nismo's because they want some of the extra performance features without having to go aftermarket to get them. just seems like a waste to change a lot of parts out on a Nismo but maybe you're just clueless in general?

Yeah I don't really understand why to get Nismo in the first place if you are going to swap out most of the Nismo-featured parts. If I had the Nismo, everything would remain OEM except the exhaust system.

But hey it's whatever makes the guy happy!

maybe thats just YOUR opinion of why people buy a nismo. the nismo can be improved upon. everything i did to my car has been an improvement. so dont speak for every nismo owner

This guy obviously doesn't know what a NISMO has. The OP hasn't changed a single thing that makes the NISMO great. I say keep on modding!

BTW, s2k2nismo, I just ordered the JIC Spartan Ti exhaust today, how do you like it? I am looking forward to putting it on.

But since I am changing the exhaust and already put on an intake I guess I wasted my money on the NIMSO, huh?

Thanks Bro, I have to tell you guys I met s2K2nismo out at Redline Time attack event down in WV.

Very cool guy, very sick looking NISMO 350z

I'm going to end replacing a lot more parts do to that fact I want my car ready for track days. I'm not going to go over board with it, but keeping the NISMO setup at same time.

Your absolutely right. I don't own a Nismo Z. And I am glad I did not get one either.
