I know, it’s fairly simple, but I figured I’d do a “write-up” anyway. We just finished installing Chris’ exhaust on his 350z, he loves it! His personal review is basically @ idle, it is much quieter, but once you get on the throttle, there is a much more deep and “racey” sound to it.

Total Install Time: 2.5 hours (being very relaxed & taking our sweet ass time). This install should be doable in 30 minutes - 1 hour for those who are motivated.

QV: “Hey Chris, I think I can fit your muffler on my 240.”

Equipment Required/Recommended:
- Nismo (or whatever you bought) exhaust
- Replacement exhaust gaskets (2 for cat, 1 for mid-pipe, and 1 ring gasket for mid-pipe to muffler) & bolts or a Nismo exhaust gasket kit
- Jack
- Jack Stands
- PB Blaster (especially handy for the exhaust hanger bushings
- Metric socket & wrench assortment (mostly 10, 12, & 14mm)
- Long screwdriver or something to help pry the hanger bushings
- Breaker bar to make removing old nuts easier
- Possibly a Ford Wrench… just in case something gets stuck
- Metal/Aluminum polish if you wish to make things shiny
- Pimp Khakis & a Dress shirt because 350z guys work on their cars in style (optional)

Step 1 - Prep
(more…)

I attended an autox practice at El Toro on April 27, 2008. This event was for people who worked the Motorsport Z Driving School on April 26. Lots of us showed up - Ankur, Gar, Jimmy, Lily, etc.

Very fun day overall, & I finally got to drive my 240sx convertible at an autocross again after a couple months of waiting. This was also the first event I’ve done with Candy with a “tuned” Power FC. Felt much faster than before even though the tune was for a turbo car thanks to Lien from FRSport.

In any case, I remembered to take a couple quick shots - this was in the afternoon, so a lot of the cars have already left - only about 30-40 people to begin with.

I also had a chance to record in-car runs in Jimmy’s & Lily’s cars. Here’s the one from Jimmy’s Car (you can view the others by clicking the image above):

This reminds me, I need to get my car ready for the next event!
