I have 260 miles on my Z and i have a few things i want to get done to it. For starters a mrev2 and a plenum spacer then after that a ECU tuning and if i can find a place to get a agressive automatic transmission program that as well. And maybe some pulleys and exhaust later down the road.

How long should i wait before I start moding the car? how many miles should i have on it before the mods start happening?

 

i know alot of people wait until break-in but i had a plenum spacer and popcharger on within the first 500 miles...just couldnt wait. i dont think it makes that big of a difference

 

Not flaming, but is there a reason why you just didn't get a manual transmission?

 

hey karl he might just be to lazy to shift..........like me.

 

Wait until at least 2000 miles imo. Break the engine in good before you start giving it more power than it was designed for.

If you want to stay N/A, get a Pop Charger. Cheap ($150-$200) air filter that has great sound and looks and claims 6.5rwhp gain. You'll see that most of the people on this forum have one.

There is no "ecu tune" that can make our automatics shift more aggressively. The only thing you can do if you want cleaner crisper harder shifts is to get a valve body upgrade. This will also allow your transmission to process more load without being ripped to shreads.

Again, if you're planning to stay N/A, the best mod for your buck you can do is a 3.5 final drive ratio. I am planning on getting one soon. You can get one for about $450 and have a tech swap them out, or you can do a pumpkin swap with a 6M/Ter who wants your 3.2fd (most of the time, that is free.) Use the search function to find out more about it. It will lower ur 1/4 time by 0.50 seconds.

 

I have a wife and she wants to drive it.

 

<-- is a wife. Will *not* drive an auto. =)

 

my wife will not, attached

 

Pics....of the wife....already know what a Z looks like

 

I do too, but she asked me to teach her how to drive the MT6 instead

I had my CAI and exhaust installed after barely 100 miles since Nismo warranty mirrors Z's factory terms if installed at the time of purchase. For ECU tuning, pulleys etc.though, I would recommend waiting 'til atleast the break-in, though some might argue that it isn't needed.

Above all, congrats and welcome!

 

Until after the recommend break-in period. Its in the book.

 

A aggressive automatic transmission program is called a manual transmission.

 

nice pic of the wife

 

husband's needs > wife's needs

BTW, nice looking wife

 

(sig worthy)

 

I did a lot of my mods when my Z hit 10 miles. (right after i took her home from the dealership). Go for it.

 

just wait atleast a 1000 miles. Take it to a road trip somewhere...drive back...there go your 1000 miles

 

that pic is so old. its been all over the net for years

 

this is gonna get good now...

 

+1 to put more recent pix of the wifey up
