Small updates:
I've only had two instances where during my drive through heavy rain, my car started to buck and I couldn't go past half throttle. After the rain stopped and could drive the car with no problems. I figured a filter mesh was a small insurance and the cost of the mesh was cheap.
These Sick Speed filter meshes fit the Apexi filters perfectly.

CFM Performance Ported Upper and Lower Intake Manifold
EPS Throttle Bodies
Michael Upton's 3" Long Tube Intakes
Circuit Werks Test Pipes
Motordyne Y-pipe
TopSpeed y-back exhaust
larger injectors were just in prepartion for going E85 but I'm still on 93. On Dynojets, I think others with the same mods have been putting doing numbers in the 330s. I plan to get my car dynoed over at Z1 for a better comparison.

With free time during the New Year, I figured why not tackle a few mods.
The Z1 Transmission mount is one I've been looking to do for a while and thank to Tony (ttv36), he sent me one and I only had to cover shipping. The install was straight forward, but lining the hole to thread the bolt through was a bit annoying since I had to orientation the top and bottom portion of the mount perfectly. I haven't had a chance to drive the car yet since I'm still trying to finish my brakes.
I went ahead and did all things brake related; Z1 front and rear 2 piece rotors, Z1 stainless steel lines, and StopTech Sport pads.
Z1 had sent me a rotor hat for a 2017 Q60. I adjusted my parking brakes all the way out and it still didn't make contact. It was when I posted on Facebook asking about this, that someone pointed out the part was not for my car. So I'll be heading to Z1 Saturday morning to trade in these for ones that fit G37/370Z.
The OEM is much smaller.
Because the y-pipe had to come off to install the transmission mount, I was sadden by the destruction of my second y pipe, and this hadn't been on the car but a few months.

I used metal bumper clips, placed inside of the frame holes and matching bolts to hold up the protection plate on the sides.
I knew I needed something in the center to keep it from flapping during high speed driving so I used the holes on the transmission cross member.
I know the overall result is janky, but my makeshift protection plate is doing its job. After replacing the y-pipe twice, its much easier replacing a $20 aluminum sheet than a $400 pipe or flex section repair. I plan to make a better version in the near future but I just needed something on to drive for the time being. There is a ton of rattling and metal noise but I am willing to live with it knowing I'm saving my y-pipe when going over the speed bumps in my neighborhood.
