Yeah instead of using the factory rod that keeps your hood open , they sell hood dampners that are gas filled and make the engine bay look a lot cleaner then seeing a rod in the middle.

Carbon Fiber Hood Damper Kit - hood dampeners made from Carbon fiber. fits Mazda, Honda,Subaru, Mini cooper, G35 Nissan 350Z,Mitsubishi Evo, Honda,Mazda, mustang, Gallardo and moreThese look nice!

Those are expensive. If you do the install right, it will close, just not totally. you won't really notice the "bulge". Let me know if you wanna check it out. I'll meet up with you somewhere so you can check it out.

It's cool bro no prob! Well my first time at the track I was able to hit 13.73, I don't think I did horrible

... I guess I just need to work on the launch. I swapping out my nos jets for a 75, and filling my tank to go hit the track again on Friday, if i get there early @ 7:00 I could get at least a couple runs with the nitrous.

I should hit high 12's with my current setup especially since I got some decent rubber now. However, I've never launched the Z like I mean it so it will take a couple of runs to find the sweet spot. I'm shooting for next Wednesday!... Hopefully I can burn through this tank of gas by then.

Take a cruise to harlingen or the island. It'll eat that gas away. I made the same mistake a few months back. luckily only poured in a 1/4 tank.

Yeah I wanna check it out and I could use some help with the install if anyone will through out a hand.

LEGA-Z · 10-11-2012, 03:51 PM

Well guys, I upgraded the nitrous jets from a 50shot to 75shot... Got a full tank of nitrous ready for Friday

and a better looking gauge! Liquid filled this time

This is the Dynamat on the trunk bed, greatly reduces sound. And the quick disconnects I installed to easily pop out the subwoofer box
