Tuning advice required

I have had my Z for about 6 months and haven't thought of doing any thing to it until recently when I had to change the brake pads. I looked online for some brake pads and found a couple of websites and whilst looking around a whole new world has been opened up to me. I was thinking about putting an induction kit, brake pads, exhausts, chips and all sorts of things to upgrade the performance, and would like some advice on the different makes of all of these items and which ones are the best for nissan 350z if any at all.

Reread everything you just typed. Then ask a serious question.

Well you found a good web site for finding answers to all your questions. Now all you have to do is find the search option and your home free.

Fair play, I guess it's true what they say 'ask a stupid question, and you get a stupid answer'. Thanks peaches05 for the link, maybe i'll think before typing next time. And not so much thanks to those who could only come up with sarcastic comments or one word replys...time well spent at the keyboard.

I'd suggest look around the forums more, see what people have done to their car(s), and see if you get any ideas. Then Decide what you would like to do to your vehicle and then progress from there. Plenty of options for suspension, brake upgrades, bolt on mods, more advanced mods, and there are plenty of shops around the country that can assist with adding these mods should you not want to do it yourself.
