Default B-day present

Hey guys.....so my friend got a 350z last month and hasn't done anything to it yet. His b-day is at the end of September and I'm looking to get him something in the $250 range. Any suggestions?

If you can also provide any kind of link to the product that you recommend that would be extremely helpful!

with $250.00 you can get him a Cold Air Intake, and still have about $100 bones left for a few shots and a lap dance. Perfect bday gift IMO.

ps- if your dead set on spending the entire 250$ on the Z, I would also get the nismo oil cap and radiator cap. I think they have them at [url]... sorry my link doesnt work.

JWT all the way or you could get a Motordyne Plenum spacer for him but it's a little bit more involving install.

Get him a popcharger ($105usd) and a tint job ($145USD)

I'm guessing on the $145USD for the tint job since it is $200CDN up here.

The popcharger has the same gains if not more then the cold air intake and it is easier to clean and get at the filter.

And you can't go wrong with a tint job since it will make the car look even more sexy.

The popcharger can be put on your AT.

Here is a independent review:
http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/june03/350pop/

A quote from the review:
"Not wanting to mess around we put the car on the dyno immediately and recorded the biggest gains we.ve seen on any 350Z yet: 6.5 hp at the wheels! The driving difference was noticeable, springing a welcomed quickness to redline. To say we were amazed is an understatement. It.s not that we.ve ever been let down by the POP-Charger but it usually gets out-gunned by the fully piped Cold Air Intake. What a welcomed discovery: the most affordable intake modification we.ve tested makes the most power."

I had been researching for a long time on this board to see which cold air intake I should get for the most gains. I noticed so many people praising this thing called a "popcharger" so when I read that review, I ordered one right away.

Definitely a good idea for a gift.
