350z Rookie...
i just got my used 350z a week ago. with almost 9000mls for $24,500. enthusiast. Pearl white.
i'm looking forward to modifying it. but i need a lot of help and suggestions or any kindf of advices becuz to be honest, i don't kow much about cars. esp to modify one. from performance to the looks.
only thing i've done so far is. 20% window tint, viper alarm, nismo titanium gt shift ****(to be installed/but i think i might need short shifter also.) injen cold air intake(to be installed).
so. where should i go from here? (i still need to consider my budget so nothing like wide body or turbo....) i just want it to have decent performance to drive around and well-matched/clean look.
ANY kind of info,comment,advices or comments will be appreciated. THANKS!

Decent performance and clean looks? It already has that.
As far as the Injen intake, from both this forum and independent research (my own), you will be better off getting a Popcharger from JWT.
From there, look around online for dyno charts of tested products to make your own decision. You will be much happier chossing for yourself, than to simply take someone's word for it, and find out the person greatly exaggerated.

Hey, I see you're in Marietta. Cool. I'm in Dallas. If you don't know where that is (some people still don't, despite the serious overgrowth in Paulding County), just drive west down 120 from Cobb Parkway, and you end up between Hiram and Dallas.
I haven't had my Z much longer than you, so I can't give anymore performance tips other than the Popcharger.
If you search for modifications, you will probably find something useful. Takes a bit of time, but you will **** fewer people off that way.
P.S. Click here to see Popcharger.

Heres what to do. Find what your interested in (may it be body, electronics, performance) and just go on the sub forums and just read what may seem interesting. Thats exactly what we all did. But for starting out, go to the intake and exhaust area and find out about spacers, intake and so on.

eh..already got the cold air...how much you wantin to spend?...motordyne revup kit (redesigned lower collector and a 5/16" plenum spacer)...maybe a pully kit, an exhaust or some cheap stainless tubular headers, clutch and a LIGHT flywheel..that will help alot...stock flywheel is like 29 pounds or somethin insane..fidanza and ACT make 13 pounders..thatll improve ur acceleration alot...clutch+flywheel needs pro installation tho..hard to drop out a transmission ..just some ideas tho..go here... www.ultimatez.com ...they have some nice bolt ons and kits there
