hey guys i just bought my '04 z and was wondering if i could get some suggestions on some good starting mods. as far as i know everything is stock. keep in mind im not rich so i cant just pull the motor or add a turbo. . that'll come later ~thanks all

 

NISMO shoulder harness pads.

 

try headers or something

 

intake/plenum/cats/exhaust/crank pulley. all easy DIY

 

i pretty much plan on leaving my car as close to stock as possible, but i did add a Jim Wolf Technologies 'Popcharger'. AWESOME intake system. VERY easy DIY, incredible sound. Another good one is a plenum. Companies like Skunk2, AAM and Motordyne make them for our cars. i personally Love the way my exhaust sounds stock so i dont plan on changing it anytime soon. But check out those two mods for some beginner mods. Popcharger and Plenum spacer

 

See my Signature, .

 

i totally agree with you on the exhaust i was kinda shocked when i first heard it. the deep tone makes me happy in the pants . one thing i wondering about is the chips though. i havent really heard too much about them and the few i found were like $800 . whats the deal?!

 

THATS what ive been missing! hmm i wonder if i can get some of those nismo stickers too, im sure those will make me faster

 

Go JDM on the stickers.

 

smart a**

what do you think? quality? price? *please remember im new to imports*

 

the JWT intake is tough to beat...but short intake are not my thing....i like the CAI

 

whats the difference? im assuming the CAI is a long intake?

 

Check out the APS High Volume Intake, you can get it polished. I have it on my 350z with NISMO exhaust and they sound great!

AAM intake, AAm Angled Plenum Spacer, Tanabe exhaust from E-Bay $347 shipped to your door, AAM Y-pipe (it's best to spend a little more money here because if you get a cheap Y-Pipe it can mess with your whole exhaust set-up and a piggy back or AAM reflash to top it off till you go F/I.

 

See my sig. Cheap and awesome gains.
