"In a year...ill have a decent build..."
Yea no....

If your first mod is less than 100 bucks, i doubt you have the money for an actual built.

For 100 dollars, you couldve spent that on flushing all the fluids instad of cheap crap.

Does cheap mods, expected good feedback, gets mad people telling him his cheap mods look cheap.

Instant gratification generation ladies and gentlemen

Why would you want to bring attention to those horrible little brake calipers by making them teal?

The rice is strong with travlee. He called you out

I got everything flushed and inspected with an oil change and everything from the dealership before I bought it along with all brand new tires so no need in spending money on that but ok. Thanks for the negative feedback guys. I'll be sure to go to a different forum without such ********

no care, the diff between he and i was i did it and didnt come on here asking for peoples opinions. then like 2 months later i replaced the wheels.

jsteele5

Your right. I should have bought some steelies and got some spinning rim hubcaps from auto zone, ordered a 13 foot wing off ebay along with euros, underglow neon and chicken wire for my grill. Then it'd be real nice eh?

you know i am mostly giving you crap right? although i dont like the calipers, but its not my car. i am curious as to what car your wheels came off of

jsteele5

I think they are maxima wheels. They have a Nissan center cap but they came with the car. Like I said. I've had it for less than a week and had most this stuff lying around my house anyway so I just decided to spend a day to make to different than everyone elses.else's . At least it's not riced? I have injen ses true dual exhaust and injen cold air intake along with a stage 2 exedy clutch and flywheel. I'm just getting started.

Literally everything you've done yourself is rice.

All of the things it came with are nice, though.

Good luck

turboed350z

Underglow is nice when done properly. Just because you had it didnt mean you needed to use it. The 350z is fine in stock form. Less it more, rather stock than rice for me

jsteele5

Well I'll peel it all off just for you guys. And I'll look like every other 350z in this town.

Don't worry too much about our little group of @ssholes, as it's all part of being new, but 'dipper's always get hammered here pretty severely. Enjoy the new Z and do with it as you please, and hopefully you'll come to appreciate the information and experience that is available from other members on this site. It's all been done before, and by seeing what's worked (and not worked) for others, you'll save yourself some time, aggravation, and money. The Z33 is a great platform, but because the powertrain is pretty well maxed from the factory, you'll find the most effective mods will be suspension and wheels/tires. You asked for advice on further upgrades, and there you have them.

jsteele5

Thank you. Actual positive advice. I'm gonna do a bit of searching around the forum and get a plethora of ideas and map out my future plans for the car that isn't so "ricey", when the finances allow to do so. Thanks again

MicVelo

OK...

OP, this forum, along with EVERY other one, is going to engender some hatin'. Do as you please to your car; as for every person who's hatin', there's another who's into and appreciates what you've done. Don't worry about it.

Myself, I'm in the camp that says, "If it doesn't improve the performance of the car, it doesn't go on it."

But, that said, I get differentiating through something inventive/innovative. I was young and fairly broke once doing whatever I could to differentiate my car from all the rest and failing (in others' eyes anyhow). It's like everything else in life.

Yer not gonna please everyone.

Oh, and welcome to my350Z.com.

Thank you sir. Good to see there are a few good guys on this forum lol and yeah I just want mine to be different but I'm in my early 20s. This is my first actual car I've paid for entirely by myself and my insurance i's $400+ because of my driving record so I can't afford high dollar parts until this high dollar insurance goes down

I hate to tell you, but insurance never goes down. I've been hearing that for 40+ years, and the last time I got a ticket was in 1992.
