Nevermind the rather immature group of members on the forum. They are plentiful because of the sheer number of members we happen to contain on a single message board.

Otherwise, you should REALLY read this thread ...

https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-nissan-350z/197329-the-top-100-common-questions.html

You can see the weaknesses and strengths of the 350Z in this thread. As you can see, it is a heavy car for just being what it is. If I could take back on all my mods, I would probably have focused completely on weight reduction and wider rims\tires THEN power.

i'm pretty sure the most essential first mod would be an interfooler. you wouldnt even need to do anything else.. people on the streets would take one look at it and back down out of sheer respect.

first you sign your soul away to the devil... and then promise him your firstborn child. gains? it makes all your wildest dreams come true.

just make sure you're getting an interFooler, not interCooler.

hint... intercoolers are used on turbocharged/supercharged engines to increase power/reliability by lowering charge air temp.

an interfooler is an intercooler installed on a non-turbo/sc car for looks only.

I actually started my own tutoring center a the age of 15 (yes my parents helped me start it up) but Now I'm independent as hell and am actually independently pulling in more than a bittch made cop... whats up with all the new guys attacking? hahaha what is this ****... oh and yah my parents are pretty well off but my dad comes from the gutter so I gotta work for everything i have...snot nose? dont think so buddy...and yah my parents are paying for my way through UCLA but it sure is a good investment.

You can always tell the young punks they have no respect for authority or people for that matter. You hate the police so much I bet they are the first people you call when someone scatches you POS Z, or steels your cookies at lunch time (or maybe it is recess). So what happened for your to hate cops? Did one bang your mother instead or the mail man, or was he second inline behind the mail man? Don't take it personally its just a question to help me understand you better.

okay so i read the whole thread, (<-OMFG a comma) laughed my *** off , and then sorta though

NZPV is obviously bull****ting about that tutoring center due to a complex that require attention

Lawman is a person who needs order and not a bunch of slacking around and jokes

NZPV its not cool to make fun of the ppl who save you from ppl like me (also known as the Russian Mafia)
Lawman you still need to clam down
