First Mod! Pics!
So as some of you know i've had my 03 350z touring for the past month or so. I put a K&N drop in on it, and it has a newer design intake tube? I don't know about the tube.. I was told that when I bought the car. Anywho, I ordered my 5/16 isothermal plenum from motordyne a week ago or so, I installed it yesterday, and I also did the DIY oil catch can and installed that as well; both were a success! I couldn't find the exact "cat can" part, so I compromised to something similar. I have a few pics of the plenum and how dirty it was before I cleaned it and some pics that I took along the way. Tell me what ya guys think!
Upper Plenum Removal, a little antifreeze leaked out of a tube I unplugged:
1.
2.
Lower Plenum Removal:
Cleaned out the upper and lower plenum and reinstalled after thermal gasket installation:
Oil Catch Can, I scraped the strut bar a little bit zip tying the can:
1.
2.
Finished!:
Car runs great, a little deeper sound with the spacer, and slightly noticeable pickup especially towards the mid to end rpm.

Work on upgrading the headers, test pipes, and exhaust next as to capitalize on the improved airflow from the plenum spacer. At least do the catback exhaust......Borla makes a great system 
and it doesn't get loud until you do the test pipes, however, you can feel the difference once you get rid of the cats.
Flywheel should be done in conjuction with clutch replacement.
