I just got back from Iraq and bought my Z. I am having a hard time deciding what to spend my money on. I know that there are 2 new intakes but should that be what I do first. I have looked at exhaust and come up with 3 borla, injen, and stillen. What about wheels, I just dont know what to do. I have a 10K budget and could do it all but I wanted to do a turbo or supercharger kit when it came out. What do I do first? I guess this part of recovering from PTSD. I need your help to decide what first.

What you need is a plan. Make a plan. Work the plan. Here is a good place to start: https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/50429-new-350z-owners-read-this-before-doing-any-modifications-to-your-z.html.

 

10 grand on a 350z?
Well for show i would....
lip kit = 700-800 bucks maybe.
rims = about.. 1500 bucks.
LSD doors = about.. 4 grand.
coilovers = 1500 bucks
exhaust and intake and you done!

haha.

idk about performance, sry man.
maybe coilovers, turbo, exhaust, intake, headers?

 

intake > $300
good exhaust > $1200
short shifter > $300
good tires > $1000
headers > $500
throttle body > $300
exhaust & intake manifold > $900
turbo > $5000

That's what my list kind-of looks like in that order. Maybe someone can improvise on that!

 

Map out your plan...for now if the bug is really biting you buy a jim wolf pop charger...about 115 dollars. It will add the same power as a CAI. As for the exhaust I bought after tons of research was the dual HKS. Sounds amazing though it is around 1500....you can go on and on the point is take your time and research what others have done. I understand I am also military..I hate being away from my Z.
PS dont buy a short shift kit!

 

asian dreamer read up a little bit on the cost of wheels and/or the lip kit that one would actually considering putting on his/her car.....

 

I have an 07 solar orange 5mt Enthusiast

this is what I already have; alpine head unit with blackbird navi with docking station, tinted windows, s2k antenna, alarm with remote start and auto windows, just ordered the clear bumper lenses

 

Add some components in the front and a 10' sub in the rear......

 

6mt

 

sorry I meant 5at

 

oh....well then its settled 10k on a 6mt conversion.

 

do they have aftermarket intakes for the 07?

 

yeah stillen and futjita

 

do not get borla, stillen because they are for american cars. go with injen or HKS . also stillen intakes are not intakes, they are air filters

 

Worst logic ever

 

where do they sell them

 

do not buy a borla bc there are too many parts......you will have a field day with exhaust leaks

 

what about the stillen or injen

 

wait and go FI. I drove someone's boosted car and now my car just doesnt feel fast anymore.

 

turbo will be more that 5k....
