Only mods that can work for now is the Nismo exhaust and s-tune suspension kit. You guys are gonna have to wait for other intake, plenum, pulley, and exhaust setups.

Just wait for companies to come out with products designed specifically for the 07'. I personally wouldnt want to mess up a brand new Z. Just enjoy the car for what it is, and once parts come out turn it into a monster.

How about body parts. Anyone know of a spoiler that will fit the 2007 roadster FOR SURE?

The ONLY part that is new for the 07's body-wise is the hood. All other visual stuff will fit the same as the previous years.

Actually the NISMO body kit will not fit the 07. At least not the front part. The bumper is different. Hopefully Jeff will confirm. I am going off a weak memory.

Uhm, I can't remember which thread it was, but a shop pulled the air filters completely off a new 2007 and the car didn't gain any HP at all on the dyno from removing the filters.

I'm assuming cold air intakes won't be worth the money you'll spend on them.

It was Sharif at Forged.

Correct, no hp gain. However, it did gain 18 hp with test pipes and exhaust.

I believe Sharif just installed this on an 07. Fit was not exact, the flanges are different on the tubular headers of an 07. From memory, it was a simple adjustment (switching flange type on the exhaust/test pipes).

Simple adjustment with a bandsaw and a MIG and TIG welder. The flanges had to be cut off the OEM cats and welded the to test pipes

Exactly, pretty simple.

Are you sure about this? Can anyone confirm? The front end looks exactly the same as the 06. If so, I'll be selling the V1 replica sitting in my garage still too...

If this is true (and I have no reason to doubt you), then I'll get to save some money by not purchasing the Popcharger that JW is developing.

It looks like all an intake will do is change the sound.

Yes, the from Nismo lip won't fit an 06/07, but the side sills and deck spoiler work fine. We have already done several cars.
