I got my Clear Markers from Steve at Wright Way Performance. I really think that they go nicely with a CS .. in fact .. I think they should have come with the clears. I have published a tutorial on the wiki ... Clear Marker Install

  • Infinity 60.5cs Kappa 61/2" 2-way (front)
  • Alpine SPR-17LP 61/2" 2-way (Rear)

My amprack nearing completion. I have it finished and installed into the cubby behind the driver's seat. It works fine .. doesn't overheat .. and I intend to replace it. Problem with it is that you can't easily get to the fuzes or the controls to adjust the amps. I am thinking that I will need to come up with something that slides out. I believe that I can use some heavy duty drawer slides.



Drivetrain


Engine

  • Crawford Plenum
Crawford Cast Plenum
Crawford Cast Plenum

The stock plenum, due to the slope towards the front, which Nissan designed to clear the stock strut bar on the 350Z, restricts the airflow to the front cylinders. Crawford's design raises the front of the plenum allowing more surface area and greater, equalized airflow to all cylinders. Greater airflow equals more power. On average, the plenum produces an increase of 9 hp at the original peak, and a solid 17-20 hp at redline. (This is from Crawford's website).

Suspension

  • Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS

Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS include Sport Coils and Sport Sway Bars. The sways have been installed but hte springs are sitting in my bedroom waiting for the install.


Wheels and Tires


Exhaust

  • Top Speed Headers
  • Crawford Hi-Flow Cats

Crawford's high flow cats replace the restrictive stock cats with more free-flowing converters. What I got was added torque as well as a slightly more aggressive exhaust note. The cats installed easily .. other then the usual problem I had with removing the old bolds.


  • Invidia G200

The exhaust pulled out of the boxes and layed out on the floor. Interesting that what you see in the ads is not what you get. Fig 1 shows what I had .. and Fig 2 is from an ad on the net. The install was as easy as you could imagine and all parts are very well made. I have a tutorial on the wiki ... Invidia G200 Install.
