2nd opinion:
Waste of money as well. The test-pipes and intake shouldn't have been bought. They just add noise and reduce low-end torque and screw up your power curve. Suspension and rims would be the ideal first 2 choices for this car. Sound system and tint would have been better choices as well. You want performance, turbo(s) or supercharger should be looked into. Basic engine bolt-ons won't cut it with this car.

This is what I'm mainly talking about cause you can setup yourself up better in spending your money more wisely...
since this is your first Z car...let me be the first to tell you with this car getting power is like squeezing water out of a rock...
so read up...N/A or Force induce both are good paths once done right...

o ok i see where your going, yea had owned a mazda rx8 befor this and it was the same way with that rotory what a pain to get anything more out of it. but im looking for go not so much show but for right now i cant be blowing over 5gs on a turbo thats the ideal for me to do i know.
OK I found the clutch. Definately a step up from the OEM clutch. Torque capacity rated at 525 pounds. Looks good for drag racing. Not too much fun on the street for a naturally aspirated 350Z.

It doesn't seem like you know much about or have much experience with bolt-ons on a 350z.

i dont think that was the stage 2 kits when i read up on the clutch it was only a 390 torque capacity and the street drivability was good for everyday little stifer but not by much

Hey dude use your brain before you post. There are penty people who make 300rwhp and up with bolt ons. Maybe for you suspension and wheels and sounds and tint would be the first step. Others prefer go before show.
OK cool. Sounds like a good match for the flywheel.

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
