I believe he said he did all that himself after he got it. I was talking to him for a bit and seems he has a $8-10k budget to spend some money on mods and such. He has been looking around learning what are the best bang for the buck mods to do. I told him FI of course.

The dude with that silver Z (Jay I think it was) bought all that stuff himself. He's had the car 3-4 months. Cool guy, bs'd with him for like an hour.

Yeah, we were the last few to leave and that red 240sx stopped after one dyno because it was detonating.

Yep, that was me. I was in and out of AC, watching Dynos, etc so I wasn't really in one place for long. But yeah I think I was the last out of state person to leave (aside from NYers). Rome was lying!!

Nice to meet the faces of some people who I chat with on here often.

Jared, how do you like the spacer? Noticeable difference for you?
My Z's engine bay def. sounds louder and more aggressive. And it pulls a little harder, which was cool... Just enough to notice. You liking yours?

I forget if you said you have exhaust or not. Honestly I haven't noticed a louder tone, but again I haven't been driving with it for that long so far. I already have a loud exhaust so I don't know if that would make it louder.

It does pull a little stronger up top. I am used to the timing between like 5k and having to shift, definitely shorter now.

I just have the nismo exhaust and the CF air duct in my front bumper. So my exhaust note is not that loud and with the windows down, i hear the intake is a little more aggressive. Overall, happy that i finally got it installed.

Only if you are cooking Rome.

JMS I have been looking into the CF air duct for my Z, would look good on white. I just have second thoughts about cutting into the bumper.

The CF air duct will look good on a white Z. Search for a pic on the forum, i know there has to be a pic of white Z with the air duct. I know how you feel about cutting into your front bumper, because i felt the same way. But once you do it and see it, you'll be glad you did it.
