Thanks man...

Yes full intake/exhaust, but more specifically LTH because it's more free flowing...I'm not that tech savvy, but I'm guessing the stock injectors can't keep up

A/G. Separated the (+) terminal wire and move one to a metal bracket closet to it and removed the plastic clamps on it. G part of it was moving the wire to rear of the engine bay to circle around rather than pass over.

B. Moved these ground wires to the passenger side of the block, and underneath the fuel rails.

C. Deleted this connecting breather hose, and capped both ends.

D. Deleted this cylinder breather hose and capped both ends

E. Moved this cable to route on the inside of the block through the valley, and out below the front coolant hose.

Engine cover isn't going back on...

I said I was done but that's for now...once I get into my garage...I'm going in on a bigger level. It idles fine, but it does dip to a stall state often. I'm sure a retune will fix that

Been a busy week!

No more "ifs"

Now on to the Stillen oil cooler! As noted it doesn't fit a 350z with a long tube intake. Ok...nor does it fit a Nismo model 350Z. Ok ....I'm fine with all that, with a little outside the box thinking it would easily fit if the bracket was tilted forward a few degrees to form a 120 degree angle instead of a 90 degree. So the cooler would be leaning forward a little to clear the Nismo damper.

Yet the bracket Stillen made/mocked up is heavy than the cooler itself? Why Stillen? Why?

The bracket is so flipping heavy I ditched it and made templates for aluminum bracket I plan to make!

Installed stop tech rear rotors/pads/lines

Tried to remove the under brace for the spl compression bushing = failed

Prepped everything for relocating the battery

Then cut up a sticker and rearranged it in memory of a friend passed...

Yea, but they advertise it as it would fit, which it does just tight!

Removed all the body panels and bumpers for basic cleaning of nooks and crannies. Must say for those who live in wet areas check those side skirts!

Still can't get the under brace to break loose...since I broke that intake runne bolt I'm horrified I break something else

The plate is funny. It says "Nagano" at the top, but then "gunma" in English. Two totally different parts of Japan.

ah...my wife says it say "Long" "Wild" in Chinese....

I figure it would be completely off, just like folks who put Chinese/Japanese on their body only to say simple words in English!

You wouldn't believe the plate my wife has on her car...
