This has got to be incredibly exciting for you :D Congrats! Obviously keep us updated on it's journey
I haven't been able to sleep for a week lol. The wife is excited as well because she too had a Z in the past.

So here is the reply I got form PLM about the adapter:

"I'm sorry to say that unfortunately we can not confirm if it will fit the OEM downpipe on the 2023 Z or on the boost logic system.
This is a universal piece that will fit most two bolt applications that require a transition from 2.5" to 3" piping."

I'm awaiting a response from boost logic still.

I feel like I was in the car all day and we only put 85 miles on it. Break in periods suuuuuck. First impressions are great. Though we haven’t went over 4k RPMs and 1/4 throttle, you can tell she wants to stretch her legs. There is just something about how this chassis delivers power that makes me smile. The front end feels a little floaty but I did notice the tires were over inflated. Correcting that should help a little. The exhaust is so quiet I thought they rolled it off of the truck. Strangely enough, the sound inside the cabin is pleasing. So from an engineering standpoint bravo. It will have to be upgraded ASAP though. That sound needs to be delivered to everyone. Haha

The interior feels like home having previously owned 370z’s. What some may consider minor updates, to me, really take it to a perfect level. I love that all the silver trim is now black chrome and though I would of liked color matching the interior stitching, the black is nice. It seems to have all the features I look for in a modern interior.

The exterior is so much better in person. I do not think I’ve ever experienced this same effect with another car. In photos I’ve always despised the front end. It looked like a clash of 3 different designs mashed into one. I’ve spent the last two weeks shopping for parts. A good portion of that time was deciding what I wanted to do with the front visually. It grew on me quite a bit during that time. Now seeing it in person I have no real complaints. It definitely needs something for my taste but it isn’t gut wrenching like I originally felt. The car is absolutely stunning up close. The pearl white has to be seen in person to truly appreciate.

Overall I can’t be happier. Some say the price is too high. I think 54k loaded is just about right for this car. Yeah it’s got reused parts but heck, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it! I’ve always loved Datsuns and feel like I have a reimagined one now. Enough blabber here are some pics by the local motocross track.

Does anyone know if the Z's headlights have the old style seal that can be baked to take them apart? Or is it the permanent style seal found on some newer Infiniti's? Id ask in the facebook group but I cant post until my account is three months old. Thanks!

Do you have pictures of some of these mods? This sounds incredible... Some of my parts should be installed today... Z1 heat exchanger, z1 carbon intake, z1 touring cat back exhaust, wheel spacers, switft lowering kit, short shifter, lower down pipes and the tuner from burger tuning... pretty excited! I would love to see some pictures of your car with the body parts installed... also would like to know your reviews on the intercooler upgrade kit from Z1...

Nissan Z, Evora, Boxster, Jeep, Xterra.
The OEM engine cover is a lot better-looking than the Z1 carbon fiber version. I bought the latter but no one that's seen it likes it and I'm not going to install it. The Z1 CF CAI looks nice but is a royal pain to install and is going to be just as aggravating to change the filter. I'd look at the Nismo version which is supposed to have an easily-replaced filter. I've got the sways installed but am waiting on the coilovers and camber/traction control arms and subframe bars. The undershroud is a improvement over the OEM chunk of plastic. Still trying to decide on exhaust and wheels.
