07 is still too new...give it some time and mods will start to come out.
I'm still curious how aftermarket companies will crack the dual intake.

Suspension should be available. Suspension=hp for the corners.

More likely is available. I don't think the suspension setup changed much...?

As far as engine mods are concerned, no, there are none yet. At least as far as I know.

The intake actually doesn't look to bad. When you first glance at it, the piping is small, but for 1.75 L (and only 3 cyl.) it really isn't too bad. I'll take measurements whenever I'm home on Thursday and have time to actually start picking the car apart.

The problem is the mounting spot of the MAF being integrated into the upper half of the intake box. You can't increase the piping size without a pair of new MAF's, and the rest of the box "looks" big enough for the pipe.

Cliff's - I dunno that it will yield much.

We'll see though, I'd be tempted to dyno with an inlet trumpet just to see what the MAX possible gains would be and work back from that.

As far as I know the Nismo exhaust and s-tune suspension are the only mods available. Just wait until JWT or Stillen comes out with stuff since they have a good relationship with Nissan. Crawfords and MD stuff will be great too.

So is the suspension the same? I am upgrading from an '05 to an '07 and I have Sways and Springs that I want to transfer over. Will I be able to with no issue?

I believe the mounting points for the suspension are the same. I think the spring rates were revised for the '07, though. But don't take my word for it, I'm a noob :P

Spring rates shouldn't change whether my Eibachs are compatable or not right?

If you build a Z on nissanusa.com/z/ they allow you to select all the NISMO stuff. That seems odd since they don't have all them for the Z now. And if you go to the official NISMO site it doesn't list '07...it says 03-06.

The exhaust from the headers back is 100% MY03-07 compatible. I actually got under the car and looked at a dealership here yesterday .

The suspension should be compatible with all model years (03-07) and the interior (sans gauge cluster) is entirely MY06.

Pretty much the changes to the engine lie entirely in the engine bay. Outside of that you should be cool.

this is my 2nd opinion of the 2007 Z.
I love it at first, but It all changed this weekend, when I hit 160 in 5th gear with 1 whole rpm left in 5th.
I think the suspension sucks ***. It felt too unstable. Maybe its the tires or the springs. I felt so sad and dissapointed.
I want to correct this problem ASAP. Please help me !!!!!!

you hit 160 in 5th?! Are you an AT? I remember seeing that the fastest an 03-05 can do was 159 almost topping out 6th(drag limited). I find it hard to believe the Z will go 160 before maxing out 5th.

i am almost positive that the exhaust is not a true dual from the factory, it is the same as all the others
