So i just got an 06 6sp. 350z a few weeks ago. came with nismo intake, an upgraded ecu (wish i knew what it was), nismo wing and a full body kit. heres a pic of her at the dealership still

anyways, i want to do some upgrading to her but im on a budget seeing as im in college and my car payments arnt the funnest part of my month. any advice on the best bang for your buck or all around cheap (not like duct tape mods or any retarded ****) that i can do to her until i can make bank$$ this summer

 

just be patient and wait till the summer. you have an 06 so be thankful you already have xenons and leds tails which is a very popular and expensive mod that most z members do. not to mention you already have nismo wing and kit

 

I would hold off on mods if ur on a tight budget. Your Z is plenty capable as it is.

 

+1 better off saving your money since basic N/A mods won't give you much for your money. plus, once you start, you'll always be looking for a little more.

 

you just got it and it's nice as it is... I would recommend, even if it was stock, to enjoy it as it is as far as looks and performance goes. If you got money to spare then sounds is what i'd do first. can't drive around with the windows down pounding that horrible stock stereo

 

Sway bars , its the best $300 you will spend on it.

 

I would go with a new stereo system, you realize this is going to be some decent $$$$ if you get someting nice.....or a radar detector.

 

it really depends on what your modding goals are

u cant just start modding for the sake of modding, with no direction or objective.

i would go with a new set of rims and that would be it

 

I just got a 08 Z and ima just keep the engine stock for a while and just do some body work here and there. I recommend just save your money and get a twin turbo. Thats what i plan on doing.

 

Nice car, but an "upgraded ecu?" highly doubt it.


i would start with a nice set of rims/tires to go with your nismo kit. Upgrading the way your car handles will treat you right from day one. Improving cornering and reducing tire spin will make your car feel much better.

HP mods that are worth getting of course, spacer, HFCs/TPs, Exhaust & Tune. All the others aren't worth it.

 

If the factory tires are still on there, I would toss those first and get a nice set of Eagle F1 or Pilots.

 

+1

Save your money for something else like books, tuition or better clothes. You'll never know but you might need money for the rainy days. It's good to live and enjoy life (driving a Z) but you also have to plan for the future.

That's a very nice kit btw... can anyone confirm if that is a vertex lip?

 

nah, it has dunlop direzzas on it

every one else, thanks for your input

i already planned on putting a jl w7 in the back or somthing to that affect with an alpine iDA-X001 to run my ipod... i hate cds and took my old alpine type x 6.5 components out of my old car for new fronts

thats what was told to me, he has a receipt from a local shop that says "chip/installed $500" but its very vauge

 

Is that the Tourenn kit? sweet...

The absolute best mod you can do for right now? Practice driving it!

After owning it for a little while you will notice things here and there that you may think are "weaknesses". It's stereo for some, it's understeer and braking for me (non-brembo '03), some want more power, etc...Once you feel you are able to drive the car to the best of it's abilities, plan your upgrade path accordingly.

Good luck and congrats!

 

Get some nice wheels.

Can you show more pics of your Z, looking good. I like the body kit.
