That's what I am trying to do. I'm gonna save my money for the new supra or GTR. I honestly dont need the power. especially that much for my use. again medium track use. I'll look into FI when I know more about it. These questions are getting out of hand lol...For now i'll do manifold, headers, HFC's, LSD and final drive along with tune. I got gen 3 intakes and agency power exhaust on there. with the rest I Should be happy.

That's my gripe. The money I could care less about. I'm just not proficient with cars as much. I've done the reading trust me. I've learned a lot. It's just i'm 24 and only now just getting into cars..like actually wanting to learn about them. Problem is I did it backwards. I bought a condo in Chicago and then a car. I don't have my own garage space, so there's 1 factor against me. I don't have the tools #2 and I don't have enough knowledge #3. I'm just gonna stick with NA. I'll learn more over time. Not worried at all. it's just hard no one has time to actually teach me. Going to school seems way out of the way for my goals as far as now. So I rely on books, mags forums and teachings from what people can offer but not as much. Hence all the noob questions etc. I'll learn more for now when I get the new car hopefully I'll be proficient enough and I can go from there. Thanks guys super helpful

There's just no substitute for getting your hands dirty and cranking a wrench. Doing your own intake mods is as good a place as any to start. Not a lot of tools involved, it can be done in a few hours in a parking lot, and you don't require a tune (wait until you do both intake and exhaust mods before getting your tune). Search this site for DIYs and opinions on which intake setup is best for your needs.

No I installed the intake and exhaust myself. My short shift and all. I got all that. That's the easy stuff. More common sense. I was referencing what Chuck was saying about FI and knowing all about it. Also having the tools to repair if needed with FI. I'm no slouch and not afraid to get in there. I was saying I don't have the tools or the knowledge to maintain FI on my own if need be...and yes slapping on an exhaust then tunning then HFC's would be counter productive.

ah Apparently I misunderstood. Sorry about that.

I've gotten some hands-on time by volunteering my help (and garage and tools when I have them) to friends when they worked on their cars. Maybe you can find someone in your area that would let you help them install/maintain their FI system. Even if you just get to watch, you can learn a lot.

no worries at all. That's my goal. I learn better with hands on or at least seeing whats done. I asked around a couple guys responded and it'll all work out and FI is something in the future and when I say future I mean ending 2016 lol. Plenty of time to learn and get hands on. Honestly you OG's on here are the best help I got so far. You can pretty much find anything on here but man...hours f searching...

Yeah, this site's search feature isn't that great. I usually use one of the big web search engines and add "site:the370z.com" to my search string. Eg, "FI +pulley site:the370z.com". That link is for DuckDuckGo but you can use the same search string on most of the search engines.

All good @BadChachi. In April I embarked on a journey to explore the engine. I pulled the intake pipes, sensors, intake manifold, and valve covers off. I changed the spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, etc., and even installed oil catch cans. The car is running pretty well now, but I think it needs a new tune (reprogramming). That part I'll leave it to the pros.
