What did you do to your Z today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

I would go with the BOV dual ports instead to avoid future issues with the turbos

So no to the HKS BOVs? Not sure if they come in that config. Is this a known issue?

it doesn’t. Go with Turbosmart Dual Port for performance and reliability. Almost everyone will tell you the same thing. These V30 engines don’t like atmospheric BOVs. At minimum you need dual port diverters. This is coming from well known tuners.

Swapped in the Nismo start button.

Looks great. Is it plastic or metallic (or plastic with a metallic finish)?

I was considering the Red Start button. The color theme Im looking to do on the interior wont go well. Or another view point, it will but a cliche in a sense. I cant let the cat out of the back just yet

I am so tempted to do get the Nismo CAI, but I promised myself on this car I would leave it stock for at least the first year. I know if I get a CAI, I will convince myself that I need a LDP, and of course then a tune.. and next thing you know I am pulling my motor to install new turbos.. Talk me out of it.. please.

I live in TX (a 2 plate state) and don't run a front plate. No one gets tickets for no front plate, at most it'll be a warning while they have you pulled over for something else. I'm not drilling my bumper

Appreciate the insight. I just assumed the Z1 HKS BOV kit took those two key factors into consideration…thx again for the pro-tip!

The Honda front plate holder attaches beneath and behind visible surfaces. No visible holes and you can put something between to keep it from rubbing the bumper. It would be an easy mod.

If you are ever forced to put one on, check it out.

Anyone have a recommendation for a CF thin-border license plate frame with only two holes?

I have a Bucs tag which is mostly black but has a 1/4" of white around the perimeter. Didn't catch that until I got a black car. Would like to cover it up, but it's not worth a mortgage payment to do so. Checked some on Amazon (~$30-$50) and the reviews are literally "real carbon fiber" and the next says "plastic covered in a CF sticker".

Does anyone need the front plate holder? I don't need mine, it bolts to the grill. 2 clips at the top and 2 bolts at the bottom. No drilling. I just pushed it in place just now for pics. I just assumed everyone got one with their Z.
