I would get a second opinion about your clutch being bad with only 9k on it.

I have a 2008 z with intakes tps and a custom true dual with 2.5 inch pipes from the tp's to a magnaflow y pipe. Then into a 3 inch magnaflow muffler and 2 3 inch pipes out. That I built with my blood, sweat and tears.(hot weld slag ****in burns. Ill post my forearms later.)

I would say I have decent experience.

Thank you for your time.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.


Anyway OP, intake and TPs are good start as far as breather mods go. I'd look into buying a decent cat back then think about the Uprev tune to make sure everything is being used to its full potential. After that, or even before you do that stuff, you should look into some suspension parts. If you don't want to go nuts spending money you can get quality springs with a moderate drop for a couple hundred bucks. You can also get good front and rear sway bars for 300-400 bucks. I'm still using the factory clutch/flywheel so I can't really comment on that.

Bolt-ons definitely aren't a waste on our cars. The HRs respond nicely to simple breather mods, take it from me. Jiggy makes good power with his HR with bolt ons too.

OP - that clutch is going to be nasty for the street. Unless your stock clutch is toast, why are you changing it out of curiosity?

2. Invidia doesn't make test pipes for the 2007 + 350Z as far as I am aware..only 2003-2006. 2007 + are completely different and will not fit

3. intake - works fine

4. probably should have researched this stuff before you purchased, but if you need help going forward, we're 15 minutes away from you, and know the cars backwards and forwards
what do you mean my nasty in the street like good or bad lol sorry for askin

How wrong you are.

OP - Just go to Z1, everything he said is factual... and it's not so much about the 'sacrifices' for better gains... you have to have a goal, do you just want more power for DD or do you want to track/drag etc? If you are going to use this as your DD it will probably get annoying, fast.

That's what most of these guys are trying to allude, you must have a purpose to your mods or else you will quickly find yourself not only burning money but backpeddling potentially and less than gracefully enterting the 'oh I wish I hadn't' threads.

Decent parts though, minus the TP's which won't work as stated.
