I just blew 1200+ smackers on Gen 3 CAI and 34 row cooler from FI. Had a short canyon cruze in 107 heat last weekend and the temp was at 260 when I caught up to the first car. I was thinking WTF, that was fast. Figured I'd do the CAI while I have the bumper off for the Oil Cooler.

Kill 2 birds with one stone. My kind of thinking.

First post so I figure I'll start here... got my Z two months ago. Today, I placed my order with AAM for the S-line mid-pipe and resonated short tails.

Car has been under the cover for the past week now because apparently living in NY means hurricane rain for a solid week straight before the freaking thing even makes landfall down south. Why anyone would own a sports car in CNY is beyond me. Such a god forsaken hell hole of an area.

AestheticCM1 · 09-08-2017, 01:33 PM

Actually took mine out today for the first time in a month or so. It doesn't take much time away from the car to be blown away by the performance. FUN drive to work. Also, got & gave a thumbs up to a clean looking silver 350z convertible.

Thats a dangerous game. I originally bought a CAI and figured since I need to take my bumper off, might as well swap bumpers and get the Nismo bumper. Then soon after, if I'm getting the front, I may as well get the Nismo rear to match.

Just installed my Whiteline differential and subframe bushings while I was at work since I had no other cars to work on.

What a difference! I love how the car is tighter when turning and how there is no play when shifting as the differential is staying put.

It was so nice doing this job at work since I could have it on a lift instead of doing it on my back like I have to sometimes working on trucks here at work.

People should install these bushings even before the subframe one fails.

Got the CAI and Oil Cooler installed over the weekend. Got to test both of them out. CAI adds a little power (butt dyno) and I really like the change in engine tone, especially at high RPM. I didn't think it would make any difference with the stock exhaust but I was wrong. Still quiet enough to avoid attention from "The Man". As far as the Oil cooler goes, normal driving it goes up to 180 and pretty much stays there. Yesterday it was 96 on the cabin thermometer and romped on it a couple of times in a row. Got it up to 195. Probably would of been 220-230 without the oil cooler. Can't wait to see how it does on my favorite hill climb. Broke a couple of plastic rivets in the process so I ordered a box of 100 for $5.19 this morning.

I agree with your rational. When are you doing it?

Leingod · 09-11-2017, 10:34 AM

I think mine is still under the car cover. It has rained more consecutively here than harvey and Irma combined days.
