Default Suggestions on initial mods please

I just got a 2004 350Z and I was wondering what kind of recommendations you guys could give me for initial performance mods. Eventually I want to do a turbo setup, but until then, I was thinking of starting with some kind of cold air intake (any suggestions?) and an exhaust system (suggestions?). Besides that, I think I might go w/ a lighter flywheel and do brakes or suspension. Any suggestions you guys might have would be awesome.
Thanks,
Charles

If FI is in your near future, I suggest you wait on the exhaust or just get an exhaust made for an FI setup. Go with a true dual 3" cat back, headers, hi-flow cat (or downpipe) and Y pipe.

It's pretty tough on what to start with if you are going FI. You have to consider how much whp first, then you want to get the wheels, tires and body kit. Other wise, you may be selling those parts later. More whp, more wheels you're going to need. Anything in the 500+, you're going to need some meats.

Intake
Suspension
Big Brake Kit

These are a good start.

Swaybars are always a great bet, its the cheapist mod with the best noticable gains.

Suspension first. Then save up for the FI.
