So you have the auto... and it's pretty good? If I buy one i'm still not sure if i'd go manual or auto. I've driven an auto for 6 years so i've grown into being a lazy driver

The manual mode is a good compromise between a manual and a standard auto I think. It keeps you on your toes (relatively), but when you want to forget about shifting completely, you still have that option.

Sound wise I can't really coment yet about 4,000rpm+
But up to 4 I don't mind it, still got the meaty note. But soon I plan to have the Stillen intake and Berk HFC.

2,500km, nice.
I'm at 250km

Hey when are you getting the stillen exhaust in? and you getting it from here? I got a quote to get one in from the states but the shipping is expensive. Maybe we can combine or something?

Well I had emailed Steve at Stillen in the states, he was really nice ang got a quote together but the shipping was expensice, I since lost that email (outlook deleted my folders) but I'll email him again and get a quote again this time I'll say more people are keen.

I was looking at getting the exhaust system (STILLEN : STILLEN 370Z Dual Exhaust System)

$1260.33 USD for the exhaust. Shipping from memory was about $650 USD

Who would be keen? I can email him again and get a quote with numbers...

I was trying to see if you could buy stillen parts in AUS but I don't think anyone gets them in..

Ok Well I'll email him then, I'll say 3 ppl are interested and you want the CAI intakes too. I want to get the intakes as well but I'm worried about it voiding warranty... If you get them I might get them too and decide later if i wanna put them on lol

Don't think it was listed under the official Australian specifications either, so I'd say maybe not? Guess its another thing that Nissan skimped out on us.
EVERY 370Z in US must have TPM. It's not optional, it's a mandatory by Government. Most of you guys can't locate is on the dash because it's NOT a readout anymore. It's simply a symbol on the instrument panel (sorta flat tire symbol). Next time before starting your car, keep the car in ACC II to see the icon. The sensor will trigger if ANY one of your tires get below certain tire pressure.
