Also, a big thanks to @Coz@TORQEN and @Adrian@TORQEN at Torqen for their help while I was ordering all the parts. They were super responsive and made the whole process smooth. Really appreciate the great service!

@Olly350z – Thanks, mate! Yeah, it’s the Nismo V1 kit. I’m aware of the gallery gaskets, but oil pressure is solid for now, so I’ll leave it until it becomes an issue. 😄 @HEADPHONES – Appreciate the kind words! I haven’t been to many meets yet as I’ve been focusing on parts and upgrades recently. But I definitely want to attend more this year! As for updates, will be replacing the clutch, flywheel, master and CSC this week, along with the full exhaust kit (Invidia Gemini + Torqen HFCs). Looking forward to getting everything sorted and hitting the road properly!

The color is Pearl White (QZ1), which I believe is exclusive to the 2008 models

Thank you all for the warm welcome and kind words!

Hi everyone, I bought my first 350Z last year and thought it was time to join the community and say hello! The car had 66k miles when I picked it up and is completely stock for now. I’m based in Northern Ireland and have some upgrades planned soon, including: • Replacing the rusty exhaust system with an Invidia Gemini Cat-back and Torqen HF Cats • Replacing the noisy release bearing with the clutch. Still debating whether to replace the flywheel at the same time – any advice? • Possibly getting a tune after the exhaust upgrade – considering UpRev. I’ve also done a few updates already: • Replaced the boot struts with new ones from SGS Engineering (thanks to Markus!) as the originals couldn’t handle the heavy wing anymore. • Swapped the OEM intake pipes for ISR Racing ones. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these mods and any recommendations for an NI-based mechanic who could take good care of the car. Looking forward to learning from you all and sharing my journey!
