@@Jo-pj6gudosent listen to these people who have no idea about vqs get rid of your resonators and keep your mufflers these clowns dont realize resonators are prone to failure and exhaust leaks as well causes turbulence in the exhaust ,caused back pressure and just ruins performance resonators are for sheep 🐑 that care to much about what others think idc if i have rasp. If im making good power even so
Had an 03 a few years ago, just got an 04 because I love em so much. Was tryna get an HR, but dudes are asking way too much for not that much of an improvement. DE gang
DE Gang, got an 03 & put an Invidia exhaust on it. Got spacers with 20mm per side on the front and even 25mm per side on the back with the stock six spoke Rays forged wheels^^
There you go!!!! This is how you do it! You are the talent and didn’t need those other guys. Glad to see you getting back to the formula. Keep up the great work!
Ive had 3 Zs ('03; '06; and my current '08) The DE and HR motors are very different in small, very important ways. I did a full exhaust replacement using the nvidia with catbacks riding on a full coilover upgrade. Topped off with a SC kit from SOHO and im just in the getting the tune right now. started off with taking $14,000.00 to my bro who owns a shop, about 10k more, one transmission later here we are. Worth it 10/10. It'll spin tires through 3rd gear which is cool but something im working on making stop soon-(ish)
@@jayw6321 ya its a duel exit with a x pipe mid way for flow. Nice kit had it done at a exhaust shop. I didn't have the tools to cut out a support for the stock pipes and had to have tips welded on
I fell in love with the Z platform well before I bought by 2003 350z with 115K all original miles, adult owned and a perfect militance record. The car has been everything I thought it would be and then some. I was a little concerned with dailying it but after about 3 months of it. I would never be able to go back to a regular sedan or SUV. its too much fun. everytime i hit that powerband at 4k RPM it immediately puts a smile on my face. I dont plan on doing anything more then tint, wheels and an exhausts bc im still in HS but down the road its gonna be my track or drift car. The Z platform and community is so dense and diverse. From show cars, street builds, drift builds, track weapons, or even a crazy ass drag build. Theres something for eveyone with this platform. regardless of the hate these Vq's get I LOVE them . JUST PLEASE KEEPS THE RESIGNATORS ON SO ITS NOT A TRUMPTET
because its the people who own them. they beat the crap out of them and don't check the oil or do proper maintenance. That same motor in a maxima or pathfinder will go to 200k+ will little issues. but one its in a Z or G35 it only lasts 100k
bought a 03 350z with 129k miles on it for 3k it needs a new upper right control arm and fuild changes and then its go to go running again cant wait to start driving
As a Z33 owner, I feel a lot of frustration with the owners of these cars. Some of them just doesn’t hit home run and some make them really great for what they’re.
Only issue with the De motor burning oil are the rev up model besides that if you change the rods you can push over 400 whp same as the 2jzge vvti motor both underrated because people don't know what they are talking about... Sorry my boy but the information given was kinda bad, folks if you modify your engine messing with the air to fuel ratio in any way I suggest getting a quality tune no matter the power gain and at the end of the day it's a nissan not a toyota so keep up on maintenance more often.
It's 2013, and I love my Z. They haven't become the new takeover/new 240 yet. Im going to meets and joining teams and having the time of my life. Now Z's are hated BECAUSE of the community....i hate it here
Whoa whoa whoa! I'ma fix those blown out flex pipes... sometime after the MIL and clapped suspension get fixed... Truth about the HR. Better journals and its bed plated
I have an 08 HR almost stock only an exhaust………stoked to see where it will go in the future, only plan at the moment is to replace the bushings and suspension cause that shit is rough 99K miles at the moment
And if you get a good set of all season tires you can drive this mf in the snow too 🤣 it’s my daily and in Maryland we get 8-10 inches of snow weekly. Does just fine. Little slippery here and there but if you get a manual it’s pretty easy to control.
yeah i bought a slightly moddifed 370z and im letterally undoing all the jerry rigging the pervous owner did besides the invidia exhaust ive re wired the whole car and plan on putting bc on it but not sure what size rims and tires i should do for tracking
I got a 350z for my 16th birthday. I’m currently 17 and never thought of fixing it up until now. I NEED help. I watched this but still confused. All I know is I’m pretty sure I have a HR. It’s a 2005 convertible.
Hey so recently I just got an 03 350z (coming from working on an is300 and na Miata 1.6 so I’m okay with fixing up) and I have p0171 but no leaks. Running lean (smell gas at high rpm) any idea what it could be? Gonna change out O2 sensors soon and recently changed the MAF sensor and still nada. Needs a new tranny probably gonna do a CD009 I believe is the name but got it with 126k miles for 3.5k which to me is a steal since na Miata has 170k and is300 has 255k. Any help would be appreciated thanks. It’s a DE btw
Wait, so despite Alex leaving FI, this looks a lot like a fitment industries video and the site seems to be similar as well; why are you going up against fi directly?
What about the vortech supercharger on the original de engine I got a 05 Enthusiast with only 1 other owner and was well maintained and later later on I'm going to add a supercharger to the stock engine any stuff I should add before or any tips?
Wow this video sucks. If the extent of your knowledge is what wheels look cool and exhausts sound good followed by a ‘deep dive’ into 2/3 engine specs for VQ. Oh and the last resort of unknowledgeable car fake experts - just buy a turbo kit and pay Gary 20k to fit it because I’m sure that is great advice. How about some actual information. Strengths and weaknesses of the car and key parts that require mods. Great manual gearbox, good weight distribution from light motor, bad oil cooling was covered but he didn’t mention temperature gauges are a must and a fan is required on that mishimoto oil cooler to double its efficiency. Car has traction control which can be disabled. Rear suspension is separate spring and damper but that can be changed but may crack rear strut towers. The cut wire 101 hack for drive by wire throttle vs brake application. Brembo Brakes are great and can be fitted to lower spec models. Viscous diff should be shimmed on high mileage cars to prevent the car handling like a toxic ex girlfriend who wants to kill you. Suspension bushes should also be replaced and there is pros and cons to solid vs urethane. Diff hat only has a single bolt holding it to subframe which can be fixed with extra bracket. Radiators are plastic and prone to cracking pros and cons of a aluminum radiator. Subframe is made of aluminum which can crack. Steering is hydraulic not electric not covered. Pro and cons of knuckle replacements vs bolt on kits for extra angle when drifting. Steering rack welds can break if you have a angle kit installed for drifting. I know Alex comes from a show and shine sort of background and maybe he should title the video how to build your z if you are a show and shine guy who loves parking lot clout but doesn’t like getting their own hands dirty and would rather not know where the bonnet release is …
I'm a catback away from getting a tune . But the problem is that I don't want to buy it ,at the same time I want too . I just want a regular tune no tt or anything just a bolt on. Wich is my daily ,that should go very well😭🤣I have an 02 de 350z automatic(fight me(
So many mouth breathers “mod” these things and it shows (horrible, mismatched, unpainted body kit pieces, terrible exhausts, ugly wheels, uncut fingernails, etc)

Thank you for preaching about resonators. So many cars could sound a lot better if they had them.
So a 350z should have resonators or not, because I was thinking about deleting mine
@@Jo-pj6gu have them. Resonators get rid of the rasp/trumpet sound of the car
@@Jo-pj6gudosent listen to these people who have no idea about vqs get rid of your resonators and keep your mufflers these clowns dont realize resonators are prone to failure and exhaust leaks as well causes turbulence in the exhaust ,caused back pressure and just ruins performance resonators are for sheep 🐑 that care to much about what others think idc if i have rasp. If im making good power even so
@@Jo-pj6guevery car should have resonators. Even the best sounding engines sound like utter dogshit without them.
Where my DE boys at?? You can tell Alex has a heart for 350s, head to Z1 and take a tour, that place is awesome
De is king
Had an 03 a few years ago, just got an 04 because I love em so much. Was tryna get an HR, but dudes are asking way too much for not that much of an improvement. DE gang
Yoooooo💪🏽💯
DE gang
DE Gang, got an 03 & put an Invidia exhaust on it. Got spacers with 20mm per side on the front and even 25mm per side on the back with the stock six spoke Rays forged wheels^^

This video came out at the PERFECT time, I’m about to get one and this helps a lot!🙏🏻
LET'S GOOOOOOOO. WHAT DO YA'LL WANNA SEE NEXT.
DO THE GR86/BRZ/FRS/HDMI/MP3/MTV/HKS PLEASE
I really think the extremely underrated new 2015-2022 VW T Beatles look cool as heck modified
EVO X
Evo or Focus RS
Literally everything love your delivery of every line, 300zx maybe… just because looking to buy one rn
Personally, I don't give a crap if anyone likes my Z or not - I love it! Each one is unique!
Amazing episode. I own a 04’ 350z with GTM twin turbo setup and a built motor. These cars are super fun to drive.
I can’t wait to have my forged engine ready to receive FI
Control arms! Replace all control arms! Had to do this on my g35 and the ride is soooo much smoother!
🙏🏿🙌🏿 really hit the nail on the head with this video get 350z drive it and enjoy the community around it no better feeling
These intros are gettin' good 🔥🔥🔥

Have fancy new European cars for my daily drives, but love my 350Z ! 3rd I have owned, first back in 2003 - will always love this car
Nailed it regarding the electrics. Not too much, but all the creature comforts and performance sensors etc
Great video Alex!!! Love my Z’s❤
Both your 350Zs are fantastic
Love watching your stuff bro 🤘
I got a 06 g35 love the all the available parts just finished with a cold intake plenum spacer and a invidia gemini sounds great
Is the invidia gemini a duel exit or single? I want a duel exit and i hear motordyne is the best duel exit but its expensive
@@jayw6321 ya its a duel exit with a x pipe mid way for flow. Nice kit had it done at a exhaust shop. I didn't have the tools to cut out a support for the stock pipes and had to have tips welded on

man why do DE's get such a bad rep. more reliable than like 90% of engines. i own a HR, ive owned both, and if i bought another, Id get a DE

I kinda wish he went this in-depth with the “how to modify your civic” with specifying the differences between the 2.0 and 1.5T engines
This dudes editing and videography skills🤙🏼
Duuuuude how did i miss this! Thank you for bringing back the best part of your former channel lol
DO THE GR86/BRZ/FRS/HDMI/MP3/MTV/HKS PLEASE

its my first car btw

The line up of the Z is the most slept on car
Barney Stinson’s “Legend, wait for it (and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the next part is) Dairy 🥛….LEGENDARY tuner Son? 😮
I let my little bro use my z for a year,
And I got it back, he put a knockoff rocket bunny Duckbill mounted with self tappers. Damn near killed him
🤣
I swore i was about it until he started throwing prices at me. I am not about it. This 350z is staying STOCK!
I just bought a 2008 350z with 43k miles for 15k lmao super clean interior and everything :)
Just curious, for that price why’d you pick the 350 over a 370z?
Jake is not upset... Jake agrees fully...

Love your videos bro! Can you do the Acura RSX Type S ?
The Freshkiicks shoutout 😵💫
7:39 jay his car is outstanding e class tunes does great work too his and fresh kicks. Also don't for get about lowtek
Love my Artisa nights and Invidia exhaust on my Z 😮💨
It's 2013, and I love my Z. They haven't become the new takeover/new 240 yet. Im going to meets and joining teams and having the time of my life.
Now Z's are hated BECAUSE of the community....i hate it here
💯 true brother! Good vid
Whoa whoa whoa! I'ma fix those blown out flex pipes... sometime after the MIL and clapped suspension get fixed... Truth about the HR. Better journals and its bed plated
Jakes watching this video inside his 350z as you speak 👀
I have an 08 HR almost stock only an exhaust………stoked to see where it will go in the future, only plan at the moment is to replace the bushings and suspension cause that shit is rough 99K miles at the moment
Just an ISR single exist cat back, no test pipes or anything. Sounds deep and great
I’d love Alex to touch base on how to modify B8 Audis. The Audi platform as a whole is so easy to get horsepower and cosmetics out of
Love this video!
Do G35 dude ! Love these
I lol’d at the $uicideboy$ cd track 😂 that’s literally me
HahHahha
“Buy your shit from us!”
Hahahha!
I love this guy!
ALSO WAITING FOR THE HOW TO MOD THE TOYOBARU FRZ-86
Do the Brz, Frs, 86
Building a g35 coupe and love it
the DE was never the problem. The owners just dont know how to do an oil change
What about lifting it 6 inches, putting in a roll cage, taking out the windows and doors
And if you get a good set of all season tires you can drive this mf in the snow too 🤣 it’s my daily and in Maryland we get 8-10 inches of snow weekly. Does just fine. Little slippery here and there but if you get a manual it’s pretty easy to control.
Focus RS 🎉
Still no 350z build threads on your site. Wanna sponsor one for the upcoming season?
My dad used to have a 350z, too bad it's totaled in a car crash on the highway. Fyi he was going 210 kmh
yeah i bought a slightly moddifed 370z and im letterally undoing all the jerry rigging the pervous owner did besides the invidia exhaust ive re wired the whole car and plan on putting bc on it but not sure what size rims and tires i should do for tracking
im in ... THE TUNE ZONE! And im really indecisive and dont know what wheels to go with :(
Ive been running Apexi N1 EXV coils on my Z and the ride is great.
370z next !!
G35 next
I feel like the de engine has more aftermarket parts compared to the hrs. Especially tomei test pipes all I find are the de versions
Wish HRs were under 10 grand still lol
Got mine two years ago 07 6speed 121k miles for $11.5k
Really nice vid got ma sub, can u do one with a miata :D
i have my z 2002 jpn from 2014 till this date .
Ironic that you use an image in the thumbnail of how NOT to modify a 350Z for a video called How To Modify A 350Z.
I got a 350z for my 16th birthday. I’m currently 17 and never thought of fixing it up until now. I NEED help. I watched this but still confused. All I know is I’m pretty sure I have a HR. It’s a 2005 convertible.
HR are in 2007
found a 2007 350z grand touring with 130k miles going for 13k(manual ofc). is that a steal? i notice theres not much info on the grand touring models
More like robbery
I have de 2005, do I need to be worried 😮 not sure what comes under "early version of de"
Hey so recently I just got an 03 350z (coming from working on an is300 and na Miata 1.6 so I’m okay with fixing up) and I have p0171 but no leaks.

G35 next?
Can you do the 9th gen civic SI🥺
Wish the prices go back to pandemic levels… these are super inflated now.
Me blowing my HR engine with zero mods 😅. Now the ecu is messed up
Me sitting here with a manual 4th gen Altima watching this video
Where do I add to the build threads.
300zx next???
I think I messed up and now I got 30k invested into my 350z lol
Evo X plz
*Step 1: Straight-pipe it*
Just Boost it
I own a 3.5 se altima😂
You can get a 370z for 15k
I don't want to camber it, might look shi-💀
toyotoca celica 😂
New life for you now hmm no more fitment
DEs don't burn oil the other versions do
Lost 11 mins waiting for something good. Nahhh and dude u need a resonator for your voice ... waddaaff
Screw fasfa 🤣
