Default New Member! Hey all!

Hey all, i'm brand new to the 350z thing, just joined this forum about a week ago and decided to drop in and say hey to everyone. I sold my 2004 wrx and bought a 2003 350z touring edition. I love it, it handles like a dream. For mods i'd appreciate it if you guys could help me out; i'm so used to having a turbo car that my mind is stuck in turbo mod instead of N/A. Anyways, It has heated leather seats, bose stereo, nav, G35 wheels, a 2006 350z intake tube(it was put on when I bought the car), and i've put in just a k&n drop in flat filter. I'm looking at buying an unorthodox lightweight pulley kit and a 5/16 motordyne plenum spacer and callin it good. Well, below are some pics of my car, hope to see all of you soon at a meetup or somethin. If any of you have advice on aftermarket parts or info on the parts i'm choosing, let me know! All advice helps!

stay away from unorthodox racing lightweight pulley's. Get the spacer, mrev2, and test pipes. That will give you the most NA power. Pulley's will destroy your motor if you get the wrong ones. I urge you to rear this forum in the FI section for more info.

I thought under drive pulleys were bad? Unorthodox I heard were very good? The pulley size isn't going to change, just the weight; which I heard isn't a problem at all? Correct me if i'm wrong?

underdrive is very bad. Lightened is not bad as long as the pulley is of high quality like the harmonic one that I think carbonetics makes. Could be wrong on that one though.
