My list are as follows 1. Exhaust 2. Intake 3. Tires 4. ECU Tune (because while OEM timing self adjusts for different climates and altitude, it is not ideal for one region. one reason why premium is 93 vs 91 in different places. AZ altitude & air density is not same as FL etc) 5. Driver should Lose weight/diet
yeah tune is kinda pricy tho, but I'm sure if two 350Z ship from japan straight to this hot ass humid houston vs somewhere in AZ and their engine is torn down after 150k miles they will definitely be different within. I've researched that octane stuff before. fuel does not burn that well in thinner air, so 91 octane will kinda act like 93 that is in somewhere with thicker air. there should still be power loss tho I'd say it's engineering researched backed 90% but still 10% politics they charging us bro. I hate politicians Lol diet? Lol wtf what if I'm already 6'0 and 175LBS?
Tune is sooo worth it when you've finished your mods. I have a video showing making power and I was running into detonation at 3K RPM with just bolt-ons for mods. I run Shell 91 in my car. th-cam.com/video/eC1-hE3PBf0/w-d-xo.html
My list for my Z33 Vq35de 1. Invidia - N1 with a ARK test pipes & J2 headers full exhaust 2. Action Clutch Stage 3 3. Tomei Poncam Camshafts 4. Weapon-R - Secret Weapon Air Intake 5. Kinetix Racing Velocity Keep it bro nice video!
I've learned so much about the Z through your channel bro! It's actually another reason as to why I'm going to be purchasing one soon, I can find information on almost anything through your channel. And you also reply to almost everyone so I know where to head if I had a question. Keep up the solid work man!
my first 5 were 1. tyres 2. extended tie rods/ steering rack spacers (not just for doing skids, the extra steering angle is great for daily driving as well) 3. lightweight flywheel/ new clutch 4. plenum spacer 5. urethane bushings the flywheel is just personal preference/ i think some would prefer a short shifter over that in their top 5 =]
AnthonyJ350 yeah a little power and improve handling would make the z a lot more fun to drive, plus once you get an exhaust on a car it's hard to keep the radio on when the vq makes such amazing sounds
headers as #2 is an absolute waste imo if it's a normal daily driver because you'll never notice the performance advantage nor do you need the heat dissipation or smooth excavation of fancy headers. I have stillen ceramic coated headers on my Z and I haven't really benefited much. for me, headers are #2 for a track car, and #37 for a daily Lol
hostilityy true If it's a daily I couldn't put headers on they tend to be to raspy at times. One reason I also have bought hfc for my G37 I don't want my exhaust note to get raspy
I like your list. I have mostly done upgrades as OEM parts broke or failed. 1. Rear shocks were leaking so I went with Bilsteins. 2. Bose system failed; replaced with Alpine head unit, Hybrid Audio Technologies components in the doors with Soundskins, Jl Audio 3 channel amp, and Jl Audio 10" sub in enclosure in hatch. 3. When it was time for new spark plugs I had my guys add the 5/16" copper Motordyne plenum spacer. 4. OEM exhaust rusted out so I replaced it with Fast Intentions HFC and Exhaust. 5. The stock intake hasn't failed; but I will soon replace it with a Mishimoto intake and tube in conjunction with NWP 65mm throttle body; followed by a tune from Z1. Later I will address: lighter wheels, clutch, flywheel, clutch pedal, and brake upgrade.
1. BC DS coilover 2. Good set of UHP tires + Nismo LMGT4 rims 3. Skunk2 intake plenum spacer + K&N drop in air filter 4. Final drive 3.7 + TransGo Shift kit (for auto) 5. Cooling system - Blox Racing alloy radiator + ATF cooler + engine oil cooler Honorable mention: - UpRev ECU reflash - Full catback exhaust system - Android head unit with DSP - Viper alarm system (or hidden cutoff switch for budget)
Koni with eibach springs, eibach front and rear sway bars and end links, headers test pioes, yellow pipes and a&m tail pipes, Z1 upper plenum, a&m intake manifold, EPS big bore throttle valves and Z1 cold intake, and Dyno tests.
For first upgrades, tbh it’s not necessary to add a short shifter. You should change something like intake and the throttle body or even just a throttle body extensions. Shifters already short enough
That's a subjective statement. The factory shifter is short. However it still feels numb and the better you interact with the car, technically the more effective and faster it becomes. Skip to the end of this video th-cam.com/video/Y1cXgqL2kZo/w-d-xo.html
my top 5 asap mods IS 1. brake pads 2. suspension (anything but stock) 3. gutting all the bullshit plastic trimming and metal speaker bracing 4. E85 5. and of course the tune!
@@AnthonyJ350 for sure! and nothing against the stock suspension tires brakes, those types of things but the car screams im restricted an has tons of potential lol
@@kominy100 I agree, suspension and brakes are my second wave choice of mods, just did the Akebono brake upgrade and love it th-cam.com/video/4d1tGPgqdng/w-d-xo.html

My mod for my 350Z: 1. Change springs - lower ~1.5 " , 2. Change both swaybars and installed "H" frame under. 3. Installed plenum " kinetic" upper cover 4. Put Godspeed catback exhaust 5. Will put exhaust manifold headers. These are my top 5, all completed except exhaust manifold headers- that's next! Honorable mention: installed performance chip to the OBD11 port.
The Bose speakers that come with the z are not compatible with non Bose aftermarket headunits. You will need to swap out those cool speakers with aftermarket speakers and subwoofer as well. The amp that comes with the Bose system also is not compatible with aftermarket head units. You will need the whole Bose system replaced if you want a good sound.
The statement that aftermarket head units are not compatible with the BOSE system is incorrect. You have to gain the factory system and install a line level converter with a harness. I used to do it all the time. Here's a video in a G35 th-cam.com/video/dv2L6oQdWTY/w-d-xo.html
Who owns a 350z and keeps it bone stock both Engine and Exterior I'm all about that Stance Lifestyle riding low and loud on stretch tires Breaks are just as important as tires because you wanna be able to stop immediately rather then a longer screeching distance before coming to a complete stop
Mods I have so far for my nismo Z are: stage 1 clutch with lwf Zspeed heavy duty slave cylinder wilwood master cylinder torque solutions short throw shifter torque solutions trans mount z1 motorsports engine mounts prothane poly diff bushings straight pipe exhaust (ridiculously loud bit sounds so good) Thinking about the RJM pedal mod next cause there's a little bit of slop in my clutch pedal at the top. Does that mod fix it?
That's an awesome list. How hard was it to change out the motor mounts? As for the RJM piece, yes it'll clean up the action of the pedal and give you very precise moment.
If I were to pick I'd probably do the Stillen super charger that replaces the whole intake plenum. I like the simplicity and instant power of a blower set up.
I spent a day and half wiring it (because it's my car). You have to wiring it to the ignition lines, e-brake, foot brake, install an integration module to work with the factory immobilizer and wire up to the clutch so it thinks the clutch is being pushed in. I kind of show it in this video. th-cam.com/video/QEiJREXkLAI/w-d-xo.html
Hi I have a 2003 nissan 350z with high milage (200,000) and I bought it from someone that didn't know whether they used synthetic or mineral since then I only changed it once and used mineral oil but I don't want to have any future issues with it?
aggo As long as you check the oil level and change it often (no matter the type) that's the best thing you can do. I'm a big fan of Castrol Edge 5W30 for the car.
I would do exhaust first because you as the driver will enjoy it more. A little more power and the sound. You can't look at your wheels while you drive so they're more for everyone else. th-cam.com/video/P8_7EfQEYoM/w-d-xo.html
Nice vid! I'm currently looking at the Tein street basis for my z since most struts are blown :S Have you heard good/bad stuff about those coilovers? (I'm looking for a similar ride quality to stock)
I don't like coil overs because they don't last as long and you need someone that knows suspension to set them up properly to get them to work properly. I prefer Bilstein shocks and maybe a 1 inch lower spring (I didn't lower my car). If you do lower you'll have to get adjustable camber arms to correct the geometry.
AnthonyJ350 So you think it would be best to replace all stock shocks assembly? That's what i wanted to do initially but i think the coilovers are cheaper than the stock shocks...
Don't buy cheap coil overs, you'll be disappointed or they just won't last. Do you want a lower car? Bilsteins aren't cheap but have a life time warranty and the top sports cars and trucks in the world install them as factory equipment.
AnthonyJ350 I'm on lowered springs and would like to lift it a bit, its too low for me and the roads in Quebec. I found $630 bilsteins struts on Z1 (they dont come with springs so i would have to get the springs too). You kinda scared me with what you just said about coilovers so i'm not sure what i want to do right now since i'm on a budget. Blown struts are not fun to ride on that's for sure... Tein, bilstein or stock. Those are my options right now, i'll do some more research. Thanks for the help as always, you're amazing!
Oh ya I heard the roads in Quebec can be harsh. Ya the 350Z is already low from factory, you might have to look for some stock springs. Sign up on VQ North on facebook and see if anyone is willing to trade with you. You compare different companies, I've just always used Bilstein on all my vehicles and I love the performance and know what to expect.
Hey I have a remote start but I notice it has a nasty scratching or unusual grinding sound on a cold start, so I stopped using it. Do you know what it is?
Cool man! I aprc it! Just wondering! my Buddy of mine is selling me his MST MT01s GunMetals for my 35th Anniversary Yellow Z. The specs of the wheels is 18x9.5 all around offset +35, How do you think it'll look on a yellow z? Will it clear brembo brakes and will the wheels sit flushed with the sides or will I need to go like a 10.5 all around? I don't want to go too wide, just flushed.
Hi you have been very helpful so far so I hope you can help on this my 2003 350z door handle was having issues and we were able to to temp fix it but the part we need I can't find it's the part of the door handle the lock rod plugs into the part it rests on broke off so we need to buy a replacement any help would be appreciated, thanks
@@AnthonyJ350 "loud noises startle me." Literally had an exhaust compilation on with her 10 mins ago Edit: I told her the plenum was for improved gas mileage and overall efficiency. 😅
Hey Anthony, i want to replace my Factory Seats with some nice recaro's and i cant find and Information about the occupancy sensor in the Passenger seat. its a 2007 base Model without seat airbags... maybe u Know more about it? Kind regards
Austin Sargent Yes it can. Now depending on the vehicle, when you enter the vehicle may have to shut down and you have to restart it after. This is a safety reason, this is common in Toyotas.
@@AnthonyJ350 Thanks for replying, I have another question. I am not new to manual driving but for some reason on my new Z when I am in 4th and I go to shift to 5th I feel like I'm in 5th but it seems to kick back over to 3rd. I have been able to get to 5th gear it is just not a smooth transition, I don't know if it is my fault or if I need to replace something. If you have any advice id appreciate it.
I think it's just the springs in the clutch. Hold the pedal in when you shut it down and you won't hear it. My 350 small block Chevy makes a similar more quiet noise on shut down.
Hey guys..I want to increase Horsepower In my 350z 2008. i have 3k only. Please suggest the things i can do with this amount. What shud i add in engine? Plz help if u have a strong background in this area. I have ZERO knowledge in mods.
That remote start is soo freaking cool. I wish i knew how to install that. Seems difficult. How does the engine start without someone holding the clutch tho?
You wire to the clutch switch so the car "thinks" you're pushing it in. It's recommended to have a professional do it to ensure proper functionality and wiring cleanliness. I just happen to be a professional Installer.
I have a question I put a new radio in my 04 350z enthusiast model and have checked the wiring multiple times and still can't figure out why my two rear speakers aren't working I installed a dual double din radio and bought the radio wiring harness connecters so not sure we're I went wrong? Has anyone else had this problem
@@AnthonyJ350 yeah I bought the wiring with two plugs and two pigtails not the one with the rca plugs I've talk to a few different people and my friends having the same problem so I figured I would just ask you man
@@JarodSchwentker I haven't no, I've seen a couple battery issues with older versions. Viper offers 3 year warranty on their new stuff now I believe. The "brain" itself is lifetime if installed by an authorized dealer.
I know you can roll them down with the key fob but I don't think up. And yes you can operate the windows with the key in the tumbler, but that requires you to go up to the vehicle. I like to air out the vehicle while I'm finishing my lunch in a restaurant and it's cool being able to do it from a distance.
I was wondering the same thing. A vehicle in an apartment complex down the street had a remote starter with a manual transmission, and it ended up driving itself over a parking stop, through a wrought iron fence, over a sidewalk and curb, across five lanes of traffic, over another curb and sidewalk, through a parking lot of another apartment complex where it side-swiped a truck, and into a brick wall of an apartment where it finally stopped. People who initially came outside to investigate thought the driver had fled the scene. AnthonyJ350, I hope the safety precautions you have work as intended. Nice video and ride, by the way!
Well I'm Canadian and that's how we pronounce it, so I'm going to call ignorance on your part. You can watch 7:30 of this video too and I explain it th-cam.com/video/iaQCP5cWSqU/w-d-xo.html
Then why pronounce it "zee" at 2:24 ? lmao but thanks for going through the time to link another video and find the specific time for me to watch. I don't care that much at all.
I don't know to show that I have the ability to pronounce it either way and there is more than one way to say something. But if you need the need to judge and be rude go right ahead, I'll leave your first comment there.
For most cars yes, but on more performance oriented vehicles that have forged internals and chain tensioners that rely on oil pressure, it's not going to hurt anything.
My list are as follows
1. Exhaust
2. Intake
3. Tires
4. ECU Tune (because while OEM timing self adjusts for different climates and altitude, it is not ideal for one region. one reason why premium is 93 vs 91 in different places. AZ altitude & air density is not same as FL etc)
5. Driver should Lose weight/diet
Hahaha love number 5
yeah tune is kinda pricy tho, but I'm sure if two 350Z ship from japan straight to this hot ass humid houston vs somewhere in AZ and their engine is torn down after 150k miles they will definitely be different within. I've researched that octane stuff before. fuel does not burn that well in thinner air, so 91 octane will kinda act like 93 that is in somewhere with thicker air. there should still be power loss tho I'd say it's engineering researched backed 90% but still 10% politics they charging us bro.

Thanks man, really appreciate comments like this. Helps keep up the motivation to make these videos for you guys.
Tires are very important! I just crashed my Z cause I have crappy tires. Good tires is a must have on these cars
Dave Dursley That sucks. But thanks for reinforcing how important tires are. Can the car he fixed?
Dont blame the tires
I had a total loss on my 06 lost control on the highway running tires that were well almost bald but still it’s a bitch
@@slicknslidin4124 I owned my z for 16 years think I know how to drive it lol
and yes of courses I fixed it I will never give up my Z!!
Dont ever go cheap on things that lift you from the ground shoes,mattress,tires
my first 5 were
1. tyres
2. extended tie rods/ steering rack spacers (not just for doing skids, the extra steering angle is great for daily driving as well)
3. lightweight flywheel/ new clutch
4. plenum spacer
5. urethane bushings
the flywheel is just personal preference/ i think some would prefer a short shifter over that in their top 5 =]
My list would be
1. Exhaust
2. Headers
3. Intake
4. Coilovers
5. Sway bars
That's my top 5 if I ever had a z
That's a good list
AnthonyJ350 yeah a little power and improve handling would make the z a lot more fun to drive, plus once you get an exhaust on a car it's hard to keep the radio on when the vq makes such amazing sounds
Ya but when you're stuck in traffic or driving long distances you need tunes.
headers as #2 is an absolute waste imo if it's a normal daily driver because you'll never notice the performance advantage nor do you need the heat dissipation or smooth excavation of fancy headers. I have stillen ceramic coated headers on my Z and I haven't really benefited much.
for me, headers are #2 for a track car, and #37 for a daily Lol
hostilityy true If it's a daily I couldn't put headers on they tend to be to raspy at times. One reason I also have bought hfc for my G37 I don't want my exhaust note to get raspy
I like your list. I have mostly done upgrades as OEM parts broke or failed. 1. Rear shocks were leaking so I went with Bilsteins. 2. Bose system failed; replaced with Alpine head unit, Hybrid Audio Technologies components in the doors with Soundskins, Jl Audio 3 channel amp, and Jl Audio 10" sub in enclosure in hatch. 3. When it was time for new spark plugs I had my guys add the 5/16" copper Motordyne plenum spacer. 4. OEM exhaust rusted out so I replaced it with Fast Intentions HFC and Exhaust. 5. The stock intake hasn't failed; but I will soon replace it with a Mishimoto intake and tube in conjunction with NWP 65mm throttle body; followed by a tune from Z1. Later I will address: lighter wheels, clutch, flywheel, clutch pedal, and brake upgrade.

Oh ya I heard the roads in Quebec can be harsh. Ya the 350Z is already low from factory, you might have to look for some stock springs. Sign up on VQ North on facebook and see if anyone is willing to trade with you. You compare different companies, I've just always used Bilstein on all my vehicles and I love the performance and know what to expect.
Hey I have a remote start but I notice it has a nasty scratching or unusual grinding sound on a cold start, so I stopped using it. Do you know what it is?
Might be the starter motor dragging? Might need to have the tach sensing on the remote starter reprogrammed. What kind of vehicle and remote starter?
Hey Anthony, I own a 350z myself! Where did you buy that remote starter with roll up and down windows?! LMK :) and send me the link
This is the system I use viper.com/car/securityremotestart/product/5806v/viper-led-2-way-security-and-remote-start-system
Cool man! I aprc it! Just wondering! my Buddy of mine is selling me his MST MT01s GunMetals for my 35th Anniversary Yellow Z. The specs of the wheels is 18x9.5 all around offset +35, How do you think it'll look on a yellow z? Will it clear brembo brakes and will the wheels sit flushed with the sides or will I need to go like a 10.5 all around? I don't want to go too wide, just flushed.
Hi you have been very helpful so far so I hope you can help on this my 2003 350z door handle was having issues and we were able to to temp fix it but the part we need I can't find it's the part of the door handle the lock rod plugs into the part it rests on broke off so we need to buy a replacement any help would be appreciated, thanks
Did you try pricing out the part at a Nissan dealership or a body shop?
Thanks for the plenum tip. now i just have to convince the gf to let me soup up her Z. 🤔
Shouldn't take much, start with exhaust because the sense of sound brings a lot of enjoyment.
@@AnthonyJ350 "loud noises startle me." Literally had an exhaust compilation on with her 10 mins ago
Edit: I told her the plenum was for improved gas mileage and overall efficiency. 😅
Hey Anthony, i want to replace my Factory Seats with some nice recaro's and i cant find and Information about the occupancy sensor in the Passenger seat. its a 2007 base Model without seat airbags... maybe u Know more about it? Kind regards
annimx5 You're probably going to have to take it off the old seat and transfer it over.
Awesome
what sway bar bushings and end links should I get if I where to get them?
nicholas spitz Here's what I put in my car th-cam.com/video/PJY7V2_6vig/w-d-xo.html
Will this remote system support an aftermarket push button start?
Austin Sargent Yes it can. Now depending on the vehicle, when you enter the vehicle may have to shut down and you have to restart it after. This is a safety reason, this is common in Toyotas.
Hey AnthonyJ350 what year is your 350z
Jake Beard It's a 2006 Enthusiast
Coilovers man makes the car handle way better
I prefer Bilstein shocks, sway bars and bushings over coil overs. Plus coilovers don't last that long compared to the Bilsteins.
And this is for which 350z shifter short enough, radio is a toy, instead breaks en tires
It's not so much making the throw shorter, it's more about giving it a more positive and precise feel.
Have you ever remote started in first?
Michael Cuellar The car can't. There's a safety procedure you have to do th-cam.com/video/0pF9CrkuzX4/w-d-xo.html
Idk if you’ll respond. I just bought a 03 350z and I was wondering how I get that key fob you had
Your local install shop can sell and install it for you. You'll want Compustar or Viper.
@@AnthonyJ350 Thanks for replying, I have another question. I am not new to manual driving but for some reason on my new Z when I am in 4th and I go to shift to 5th I feel like I'm in 5th but it seems to kick back over to 3rd. I have been able to get to 5th gear it is just not a smooth transition, I don't know if it is my fault or if I need to replace something. If you have any advice id appreciate it.
@@triplixitty I would the Torque Solution short shifter (I have a video) and put in Redline Transmission fluid for manual Nissans.
@@AnthonyJ350 Thank you so much ill look into that when i am feeling better, youre the best. Keep up the good work man
@@AnthonyJ350 problem with shifting was the bolt under the shifter under the car wasn’t even screwed in. Just had to tighten it
what are your thoughts on an LS swap?
Gary K Awesome if you can make all the gauges work and keep the wiring looking OEM under the hood.
What security system is that and how much was it?
Skylar Wieber Viper 5806V. A system like this is $800 to $1200 depending how you option it out.
Hello, Anthony. what version is that alpine HU?
It's the INE-W967HD
thank you, bro.👍🏼 btw can you do a tutorial video about how to install back up camera as well. im planning to install HU with back up camera.
put links to the parts. Still liked this.
Did you try searching for the brands online or directly from them?
Anthony, what make chin spoiler is that?
It's from Magic Drift, here's the video th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=350z+front+lip
At 4:00 do they all sound like that in neutral or is my throw out bearing going.
I think it's just the springs in the clutch. Hold the pedal in when you shut it down and you won't hear it. My 350 small block Chevy makes a similar more quiet noise on shut down.
What kind of remote start is that ? I want to get it for my Z
Eduardo Diaz Viper 5806V.
What keyfob are you using?
Viper 5806V
How much does the self to start cost
At my shop it's anywhere from $700 to $1,000 on average with product and labour.
Does my car need to be a push start for the key fob to work
Nope, all of my vehicles are traditional keys.
what is that electronic unit above your head unit?
Branislav Hudymač It's the Infometer Touch from Greddy

Hey guys..I want to increase Horsepower In my 350z 2008. i have 3k only. Please suggest the things i can do with this amount. What shud i add in engine? Plz help if u have a strong background in this area. I have ZERO knowledge in mods.
I would do exhaust, intake tubes from Mishimoto, K&N Air Filters and a dyno tune using UPRev.
And how much horsepower i will get approx?
@@isoooalrock Realistically, 20 at the wheels.
Too less for so much....i ll go with a turbo stright. Thanks for replaying
Hey how did you get the push to start. I own a 03 350z enthusiast model. Do you have and recommendations ?
The remote starter? I'm an Installer so we sell and install them professionally at my shop.
How about teling him what the NAME of the Remote starter is that you have installed onthis Z ?
It's a Viper 5806V
That remote start is soo freaking cool. I wish i knew how to install that. Seems difficult. How does the engine start without someone holding the clutch tho?
You wire to the clutch switch so the car "thinks" you're pushing it in. It's recommended to have a professional do it to ensure proper functionality and wiring cleanliness. I just happen to be a professional Installer.
Too bad you don't live anywhere near me, or I'd hire you ;)
Thanks man! I appreciate it! What are you in? Maybe I can recommend someone.
In Sweden mate, not sure if u know anybody there tho ;)
What security system do you use?
Viper 5806V
Where are those eyelids things called
Just search 350Z headlight eyelid
I have a question I put a new radio in my 04 350z enthusiast model and have checked the wiring multiple times and still can't figure out why my two rear speakers aren't working I installed a dual double din radio and bought the radio wiring harness connecters so not sure we're I went wrong? Has anyone else had this problem
You bought the harness that has two plugs and wiring pigtails, or the one that has RCA plugs?
@@AnthonyJ350 yeah I bought the wiring with two plugs and two pigtails not the one with the rca plugs I've talk to a few different people and my friends having the same problem so I figured I would just ask you man
@@Project_ek It should work, the Enthusiast doesn't have an amplifier. Did you run a ground wire to chassis from the harness?
No I didn't I'm about to go take it apart and try to figure it out thanks man I love you vids by the way 👌

Wait till all your mods are done. Unless you do a mod that drastically alters driveability.

@@AnthonyJ350 have you ever had any problems with it ever since? How well does the key fob hold up?
@@JarodSchwentker I haven't no, I've seen a couple battery issues with older versions. Viper offers 3 year warranty on their new stuff now I believe. The "brain" itself is lifetime if installed by an authorized dealer.
Soon i can do a Top 50 Mods on the 350Z lol :D
MIMCK Media That one I'd like to see lol.
3:30 you can roll the window up and down with the regular key
I know you can roll them down with the key fob but I don't think up. And yes you can operate the windows with the key in the tumbler, but that requires you to go up to the vehicle.
I like to air out the vehicle while I'm finishing my lunch in a restaurant and it's cool being able to do it from a distance.
Ahhh hey thanks for getting back to me! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do it up and tried just about every button combo lol

how do you have a remote start in a manual?
There's safety precautions. It hooks up to the ebrake and clutch
Here's how you set it up th-cam.com/video/0pF9CrkuzX4/w-d-xo.html
I was wondering the same thing. A vehicle in an apartment complex down the street had a remote starter with a manual transmission, and it ended up driving itself over a parking stop, through a wrought iron fence, over a sidewalk and curb, across five lanes of traffic, over another curb and sidewalk, through a parking lot of another apartment complex where it side-swiped a truck, and into a brick wall of an apartment where it finally stopped. People who initially came outside to investigate thought the driver had fled the scene. AnthonyJ350, I hope the safety precautions you have work as intended. Nice video and ride, by the way!
@@jeffbarragan8124 There's a safety procedure and we do not do remote starters on manual convertibles. th-cam.com/video/0pF9CrkuzX4/w-d-xo.html

Racer Shotz 2017 would more than likely be a 370z not a 350z
This is the opposite of my list!
Who's 350 zed?
That’s how Canadians say Z
That's how people in the Commonwealth pronounce it.
@@AnthonyJ350 whose* my bad 🥹
Saying "zed" when you have an American accent is just stupid
Well I'm Canadian and that's how we pronounce it, so I'm going to call ignorance on your part. You can watch 7:30 of this video too and I explain it th-cam.com/video/iaQCP5cWSqU/w-d-xo.html
Then why pronounce it "zee" at 2:24 ? lmao but thanks for going through the time to link another video and find the specific time for me to watch. I don't care that much at all.
I don't know to show that I have the ability to pronounce it either way and there is more than one way to say something. But if you need the need to judge and be rude go right ahead, I'll leave your first comment there.
imagine leaving it in gear then pressing the remote start lol
It won't remote start. The vehicle has a "ready mode" so it knows it's in neutral.
Here watch this video showing the ready mode th-cam.com/video/0pF9CrkuzX4/w-d-xo.html
Warming up your car for 2 minutes is not necessary. The debunked that on Car Talk.
For most cars yes, but on more performance oriented vehicles that have forged internals and chain tensioners that rely on oil pressure, it's not going to hurt anything.

Yup
those cold air intakes .. bullshit.. they suck..
klepetar They do suck! Literally! Haha see what I did there???
