HELLO , I'm a NEWBIE, what's everyone's first mod?
 

Hello guys. I'm new and just got my Z, I had a 01 Nissan Maxima SE, blew the struts and went to Performance Nissan to get a part. Ended up they didn't have any, so I went out to check out the Z's and ended up getting a better part. a NEW 06 Magnetic Black Z. It's an enthusiast. I love the nissan maxima, had the 99 and 01. But the Z is just a whole different car, no comparison.

As for mods I know all you guys talk about getting the plenum spacer, what's that, anybody have a pic? I know some of you guys get intakes, but they don't make that much difference in HP, so I'll pick between the Gruppe M, NISMO, or JWT POP, whats the difference between STILLEN AND JWT?

Any help would be useful, because I have no idea what a plenum spacer is and I did search, but can't find pics. Should I get that or suspension mods, or just save up for a SC. Don't like TT. I want reliability down the road.

I'm in the So Cal area so hope to see some of you guys around.

Thanks. Ted :)

If you don't know what a splenum spacer is, don't head in that direction.

First mod...JWT Popcharger. It's fairly cheap, easy to install, and everyone has one.

My first mod was finding the search function. There are answers to all of your questions within the search function.

answer his question please....it would help me too :D

Im from So. Cal too, pasadena, but im over on Michillinda and Huntington, you should see my 06 white Z around sometimses, my first and only mod so far was a Popcharger, i didnt really buy the intake for power, but more so some nice sound. Im thinking of getting some pulleys next, along with test pipes and the mrev.

i did search, can't find any pics of the spacer though. anybody have a picture of it? i heard its hard to install too.

and hello joeyfyed. Yea i always get an intake first, i had the STILLEN on the maxima. loved the sound, sounds better than the INJEN crap I put into it. I might have seen you around but I wouldn't know. I live in Arcadia, theres like 20 Z's in a 3 mile radius in my car. just last night, went to the cafe and there were 3 black Z's in the lot. albeit 1 was an older model. hope to get to know more of you guys. THANKS for all the help.

Pop-charger

Thanks Murphy, does the Pop-charger sound deep? or does the NISMO sound better? who ever has one, please chime in. Either way I heard pop charger is the best.

one really important question, when did you guys first change your oil. at 500? i'm at 800 and I think I should change it. did you guys change it yourself with synthetic? or give it to the dealers. and when should i change again? 1500? or 3000? Thanks.

Black Nismo Knob !!! :)

first thing I did was the oem rear spoiler, tint, s200 antenna, and I bought a pop charger(like everyone else). Just bought it for the sound, but havent got it yet.

JWT Popcharger sounds really nice and the price is nice

i slam my Z the 3 day i got it..hehehe

CLEAR BRA!!! Then Pop-Charger, S2k Antenna and Tint. I just got an 06' a few weeks ago and these were the things I've done.

First Performance mod for me was Turbo:) haha. go with a ST>SC, 1 of the guys down the road from me has a supercharger and it it a stillen stage 1 or 2 and it only gave him 75RWHP i think its strage2 tho (please correct me if im wrong) thats just what he told me

my first mod was a rb26dett engine swap complete with 200 shot of nitrous.... then i got the popcharger =P

[QUOTE=fairlady350z33]i did search, can't find any pics of the spacer though. anybody have a picture of it? i heard its hard to install too.
