new to the z's...i need help!!!!!
 

im in the midst of getting my 04 black touring m6 after getting rid of my 99 cobra...i was wondering what people run stock with this model in the 1/4 and what their mph's were....and secondly what mods can help me increase that time the most...while leaving it n/a...well for now...i want to get into the 12's and im new to the "non muscle" car genre....and i must say after i drove the z i realized what i was missing out on....anyone wanna help? thanks.....oh and im in iowa are their any dynotuners around me that anyone knows of? thanks again

The 350z is not the best 1/4 car. It takes a lot of money to get big power. Oh yeah, use the search function.

:flame:

13.8@102.3 mph was my time.. which is pretty abnormal.. but i just recently ran a 13.5@105.7mph with these mods.

JIC DE Spartan Type II exhaust system
TurboXS Non Resonated Test Pipes
Injen CAI.

Next im going for..
Headers
Motordyne Plenum
MREV2

and a nice N/A tune and hopefully that will put me in very low 13's or maybe even a 12.9 if i can land a 1.9 60ft :D

I ran a 14.1 with exhaust and intake, it is a MT but I have 20's on that were slowing me down drastically.

Welcome. Get the 350Z first. Then we can figure out how to make it faster.

well mod wise heres my order list as is so maybe someone can let me know where ill be after word...
RS-R ExMag GTII Series Exhaust
STRUP Polished St. Steel Headers
STRUP St. Steel Test Pipes
Exedy Stage I Clutch Kit
StreetLite Xact Flywheel
Unorthodox Ultra SS Pulley Set
B & M Short Throw Shifter
Injen SP CAI
Koyo Radiator
90 Degree Vertical Door Kit
18"x 9.5" MB Wheels W/Falken Tires
thats whats comin in...turbo kits were a little too expensive for now so thats what im lookin at...anyone have any ideas of where ill be at...anyone know any dynotuners in the midwest?

The lambo door kit is worth at least .4 off your time.

so you went from american muscle to wanting lambo doors and ricer canned exhaust. may i ask what the cobra looked like?

you want your car to become a civic? Please, dont buy the z!

my cobra looked stock actually...i had modular comp cams 475/450, 4.10's, Accufab ported and polished throttle body, and spec stage III racing clutch and flywheel....i in no way want my z to look like a riced out honda i just want vertical doors...ive seen them on zs and they look good....unlike most people i cant NOT mod a car....theres no point in buying a car like a z and not messing with it....i dot know how putting a vert. door kit on it makes it look a riced out honda

ricer canned exhaust? the exhaust im getting is not a canned exhaust...are you mad that you cant afford to mod your car or something?

how do you figure that...its only a a bracket swap

You need to add a good aftermarket differential to your list, and take the B&M shifter off. Most people end up swapping back to the stock Z shifter, because it isn't bad at all.

lol lambo doors won't shave any time off don't worry, and the rs-r is supposed to be a pretty good/louddd exhaust.

Nice too see your getting a nice list of mods ready, some people don't when they get a Z, and I don't think your z will look "ricey" at all because you are getting a black exterior and leather interior that is sharp, not sure about the lambo doors, not into that really, but if whatever suits you. And as for your mods lets just say 1 or 2 good mods on the cobra will likely gain as much as all your mods listed on the Z

word to the wise.. most people who post regularly here do so because they're enthusiasts, and so they've got plenty of mods. watch who you try to insult.

good luck with your mods and 1/4 times. driving fast in a straight line isn't all that matters, though.

that is the exhaust you named. and i do mod my car. maybe not like some members because i dont have a need for hp right now i dont street race i dont drive fast really and i go to the track about 1 time a month during the winter

no, most of us acutally go for stuff that has a purpose unlike your 90 degree vertical doors :icon22:

Ignore the no vertical door post as it's a personal preference if you like them then get them if you don't then don't. But as for getting in the 12's i'm pretty sure you need a turbo or supercharger unless your getting an 07. This is just based off what i read on the forum you can talk more in the drag racing section of the forum if you want to know specifics about that. But if your looking at the Z then get ready to get out of the fastest straight line mindset and realize now you can take turns. The Z is a great handling car when you get used to it.
