Chuckie,
What was your honest opinion on this? Would you recommend this for someone who has long-tubed intakes, HFCs and axle-back exhuasts? I read the post on my 370z . Also, is this a DIY install or should I seek professional assistance getting it installed?
Cheers!

Hey Domate,
I just did the Z1 plenum swap. To my knowledge, the steps are very similar. If you have a healthy degree of mechanical aptitude and a moderate set of hand tools, the install is pretty straight-forward. I sort-of blundered through it (was my first time pulling the plenum) in a day without instructions, but I am slow and a bit meticulous.
Tip: There are a few screws and bits you need to label and segregate into bags. I would take lots of pictures before beginning, just in case.
Tip 2: You can also clean your TBs during this install. Its gets rid of that weird "rpm stuttering" at stops on hot days, just in case that happens to you. There can be a lot of 'tar' buildup!
Tools:
-A metric deep-socket set is a MUST for removing the stock plenum, as there are some very tall threaded studs. You might be able to use a wrench set, but I would kill myself if I had to. I'm not even sure how you'd get the rear nut off the tall stud in the rear.
-I would recommend at least a cordless impact wrench or driver to save time.
-Metric Allen wrenches for removal of TBs or Allen hex-bits (these can be a bast*rd depending on the angle/driver/technique you use. I am sure there are much smarter ways of getting these off than the method I used.
-Torque wrench--I had trouble finding torque specs; I believe there is a sticky with the service manual somewhere here. I used pretty conservative 'elbow-grease' calibration; its relatively low intake pressure, but I would strongly recommend finding out what the proper specs are. I was being paranoid about cracking the aluminum.
Impression: I felt a minor increase in power, but that is subjective. I need to get my ride tuned for the most effect. You may actually get more out of it than I did, since the M370 has better torque characteristics in the mid-range than the Z1 plenum (the Z1 just doesn't lose peak HP).
If anyone else wants to chime in, go ahead. I am still a relative newb at this.
Bottom line: that is a ridiculously good price. I would have snatched that up in a heartbeat had I not just bought my Z1.
GLWS seller,
Good Luck With Install, buyer!

Hi Juke,
Let me say first, I hope Chuckie doesn't consider us highjacking his thread, but the information you provided is as good as it gets. Thanks man, I sincerely appreciate your advice and knowledge on the subject.
I do need to clean my TBs as I'm getting the rough idle at times when stopping after a highway trek or running hard, it's on my agenda to perform soon.
Thanks again Juke, gentleman like yourself makes this forum great!

Yeah juke that was pretty spot on. And like he said take your time because I have seen a lot of YouTube videos posted with bad installs. Most of the times I think they had someone install it for them.
This price is awesome at 400. Just about a month ago I haggled a guy down to 425 on craigslist and was so excited thinking I got the best deal. You won't find it any lower elsewhere.
