So if you scroll up a little bit you'll see I ordered about $2000 of parts from Z1. Well 2-3 days later Z1 started a promotion to win the new Z, modified pretty well, and $20,000 for every dollar you spend. They even have multipliers for buying specific products, like their own are worth 4x the amount of a standard spent dollar. I was a little disappointed, so I emailed them asking if I could have some entries for my order. They said no, because it was before the contest date, however since none of my stuff had shipped yet they let me cancel my order and place it again, today. The bulk of the money I spent was Z1 parts (about $1500), so that would be over 6000 entries alone! Pretty happy how this worked out, and that Z1 allowed me to do that. Some of it was just luck that they hadn't shipped yet.

Nice catch! I like the CF hood with the engine window.

I was going to say a custom aluminum welded intake manifold would look pretty cool. Or maybe the Stillen manifold that comes with the supercharger kit .

Nice, gives such a nice mid-range at the cost of a bit off the top.Totally worth it for a fun daily. Now you can run a single catch can too.

I didn't even think of the catch can scenario. That saves me a lot of money being able to run a single vs dual. After driving it a couple days I did 0-60 run and it actually helped a little bit. I consistently ran a 5.1 where before I was consistently running a 5.3. Now I just need a tune. Win Win for me. Could also be a lot of other factors for the 0-60 times but my butt dyno feels slightly more pull coming out of corners for sure.

Here is my old routing diagram if it helps. Need a 3 way Y or T connector to join the 2 pcv hoses into a single line for the IN to the can. A single line goes from the can to the back of the manifold.



Engine bay changed quite a bit since then, but I still use the same can and routing

I just cut the OEM engine cover, sanded and painted it. I cut out the part where the manifold bolts go with that mounting plate too.
Here's a slightly older photo with a better angle

so, I hit something in the road tonight coming home from work. This piece got ripped partially off. Spent the last hour trying to find what it's called and get a price on it. Any ideas?

I always look on junkyard G37s and G35 sedans and they're always bashed up.

thanks for the info on the plastic piece guys. I'll probably look at a nearby junkyard this week just to try.
I finally put on my SPC adjustable camber arms and had it aligned. It definitely rides smoother than before but it feels weird. Should I get a little camber added in the back? Before the arms my tire wear was horrible. Perfect tread on the outside tread or so and slick towards the inside. I don't have adjustable arms in front, but they helped my toe.
