catch cans are very functional, especially with the amount of blow-by occurring at high rpms. ARC makes some of the best cooling panels in the industry. The radiator, and a tstat would help with road racing--. By no means area these necessary mod's, but most do serve a purpose. While others, like the cooling panel, and misc. caps are arguably just bling appeal.

I think VO has just about as much of the ARC stuff as I do. I have:

ARC Radiator
ARC Tstat
ARC Cooling Panel
ARC Catch Can (v.2)
ARC Titanium strut bar
ARC Induction box (intake)
ARC Aluminum Oil Pan
ARC Aluminum underpanel
ARC Oil/radiator caps.

Also my PE HFC's are rumoured to be made by ARC.
And I would have had the exhaust, but they refused the order for my G.

If I didn't just purchase a HKS GT SC, and gone with a turbo setup, I would also have gotten their oil cooler, and bov.

If ARC made anything else for the cpv35, I'd probably still buy it

HR has 2 intakes so the only thing you need to look for is that you get a plate that is symmetrical on both sides ( feft and right ) there are some that have a a little air duct to the side of the intake.

so this one is good http://www.aprperformance.com/index....=109&Itemid=44

and this one is not good ( for HR ) http://optionimports.com/auv2coplni35.html

Yea, I ordered the ARC single path titan exhaust through perf. nissan. The order was placed with Mackin (official US distributor). To make a long story short, an ex-employee of Mackin (who was fired for this and similar incidents) basically took the order, but did not actually place the order with ARC japan. He basically just sat on the order, and 6 months after I paid for the order, Mackin fires the guy and realizes the f@kup. But by this time, ARC Japan no longer had the jigs for the cpv35 exhaust (which they had 6 months prior) and refused to make the exhaust as it was not cost-beneficial for them to do one from scratch. Mackin offered to air freight an ARC titan exhaust for the 350z, and Andy offered to have a reputable shop extend the b pipe and tips, but I was not comfortable with this. So I got a refund and bought an Amuse Exhaust

It's nice to see ARC supporting the HR platform. Enjoy your goodies!

Do those fit okay? Many of the earlier cooling plates don't fit the HRs without modification.

but the red hoses are FTL, they stand out too much.
