id love to understand the ic piping upgrade and why id want to do it. does it equate to more power / safer power?

after this id love to get started on the short block build. get new maf sensors and get r up to a safe reliable 625hp. nice!

It eliminates the 90 off the compressor cover. Test car picked up 0.5lbs just from that I like that because you can make the same power at less strain on the turbo.

The main reason I'm dpong it is it eliminates the relocation for oil filter, which eliminates two oil lines.

A couple of colored leds mounted inside projector housing. Run the wires into cabin and connect to a switch (user discretion on mounting). And run power to fuse block.
I have my switch ran just to right of obd receptacle. I'll try to grab better pics with my dslr.

The new Nismo seats are not worth it.
The bottom half is basically the same old seat just new material and the top half is from a Recaro Sporster CS. Go buy the Sporster CS and customize it for a lot less.

I wish I could find the pic, but someone posted the new Recaro line and one of those seats looked perfect for your car IMO!!

Seems like one person called and asked a dealer and they were told $10k...laughable.

I forgot to mention, I had my first taste of competition with my Z.

was at a local event on a closed course with a friend of mine with a 2013 Corvette Grand Sport with intake/Headers/Cam and a tune (475/460 rwp). 4th gear roll 60-130 and he said I just continually pulled away from him until I had about 7-8 cars. can say Im pretty pleased with the outcome. thought it would be closer. I tried to get the same run with a 2010 Gtr With down pipe, but ran out of time.

(gtr dynoed at 486/430 on a mustang dyno)
