I've noticed that I've been eating out a lot, too. Good thing I choose clean and healthy foods. I'd like some sushi!

Thank you for the warm welcome.

I also eat out too much. There are a lot of good eating places in the twin cities that it is easy to eat out all the time hitting up the different happy hours.

I work in the chemical industry as a ChemE. But wouldn't mind a change either. Have a couple hobbies, the 350Z and soccer. Not that I am good at either, but it's enjoyable.

What year is your Z? I'm sure someone else will chime in, but I'll beat them to it. Headers are pretty much almost useless and a PITA to install on the Z. You're not going to get your money's worth. The Z is pretty tuned out from the factory.

BTW, never really heard of that company before. Looks like knockoffs or copies of something else. Save your money and get HFC's and a free flowing CBE.

Potential new guy: Try 3M or General Mills or Seagate Technology. I don't know what a ChemE actually does, but maybe you could look at some local job sites. Google just gave me a good page of links.

Don't get headers unless you're runnin a SC. Seriously.... The gains you will get from them are not worth the hassle or time on a NA setup. The Z is not very NA mod friendly trust me. If I could do it all over again I would not have wasted my money on NA mods and gone straight to FI.

although, from what I've seen on the forum, HR's are slightly more mod friendly than the DE's, as far as bolt-ons. Regardless, in the long run, it's still a waste of money.

Been thinking about doing the 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber wrap on the center console:

I'm not a huge fan of the vinyl wrap usually but after seeing that s14 at cars and coffee with the fresh makeover my mind is starting to change. Rhino liner lip ftw also.
