Power wise yes.... All other aspects of the car rock.. the suspension, braking, handling all are very decent even in stock form but once you get used to the power the love hate begins... At that point you have to drive like it's a time attack every outing..

 

Ichiba camber arms. Bushings failed on them after a year.

 

- short shifter (looks like i used to shift faster while it was stock and didn't end up with a new tranny) and those ebay carbon fiber mirrors (bad quality and awful fitment)....

 

but quality wise u can't go wrong with magnaflow bro...

 

I somewhat regret getting Eibach Pro Kit springs. They're great, but I should've saved up and gotten coilovers to begin with.

 

good coilovers are lot more expensive thoo (bilstein, KW...)

 

^^ That's what I mean, I should've spent the $2K+ on some KWs instead the $200 Eibachs.

 

1. bad custom exhaust setup - bad shop
2. replacing oem shift **** - oem is perfect for tracking... aftermarket is too low for quick shifting
3. buying tanabe springs
4. cheap lugs
5. modding before i started tracking the car

 

buying used parts.....cost me 13k more than what I was supposed to spend.

 

buying anything for the vq motor. ls1 ftw

 

Intake plenum spacer. I technically didn't buy it; it was already on the car when i got it. But i didn't realize i had one till i was looking in the engine bay one night. The vibration i was feeling was from the intake rubbing the factory strut bar. I didn't wanna ditch the bar since it's adjustable, but then i noticed the intake was getting a nice groove dug into it from the spacer pushing it upwards.

The strut bar had washers on the bolts to raise it up (3 or 4 each bolt) but i was just tired of the whole thing. I noticed less power, but i did NOT notice vibration, and that was worth it all.

 

CF side mirrors. every bump/ vibration/etc will make the mirrors dip down.
CF Stillen Hood.. started to fade and no one would want to trade me lol
CF nismo v2 spoiler.. started to fade and no one would want to trade me lol
20" wheels... the ride was so much harsher, but it did look sick parked lol

 

ebay headers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I regret getting my headlights worked on by CinCity Designs and Clearcorners.com
I regret not buying the Nismo Edition 350z.
I regret doing a GTM twin turbo install. Not because the kit failed but I just don't like those crazy custom kits. I like OEM.

 

I regret all the NA mods I've purchased. I should have just done research and bought gears, done a tune, and then called it a day.

Oh well... live and learn right?

Not building my block when I did the TT install.

 

Putting in berk hfc's... Toooo f_ing loud lol plus it they threw a code and killed my gas mileage

 

Was thinking about cutting a hole in the Z for the cf air duct, but I dont want to regret it later down the road. Any mods you regret or mods that ended up just pissing you off?

 

Eibach Sportlines instead of coilovers pissed me off every time i drive it...rides like shiit, but the kinda lowering i wanted! **** those springs! Im 39 years old and now my goddamn back hurts lol, wtf?!!!!???? Basically i cheaped out! Whateva!!
