You shouldn't have mentioned being female...now every horny 35 year old married man w/ 18 kids is going to respond w/ "show me pics, and I'll give you knowledge"....or the sorts.

auto's are fine, don't let them tell you different.

You need to list your goals for the car. if you want performance, some can be added, if you want handling much can be added. if you want looks only you can decide what's the "right course" for you. many of us here like "subtle, clean changes"...then there are some who like "loud, drastic changes".

interior. again, do you want clean simple? or "boy/girl racer"? please don't pic boy/girl racer.

search and you shall find.

screw the visual mods, get performance mods. You can get a spacer (Powerlab 3/8" spacer, hope to get mine soon . you can get an intake, i have the K&N typhoon and I love it, it sounds amazing. You could also get Tp's, maybe even a whole new exhaust.

the easiest way to do this is to look at members car pictures, find mods that you like, and replicate them. no use reinventing the wheel - its all been done at this point in the 350zs life.

dont downplay your car because its auto either, you sacrifice very little speed for the convenience.

"can't do much about the performance for auto"

You can do whatcha want. In general you will get little more
than cooler sound and fractional performance improvement
(or potentially less performance) from modifications you make
to your naturally aspirated vehicle. You can use any one of the
many forced induction kits available to create the monster of
your dreams.

Good luck.

?? not exactly sure what that response means. I just dont think a person with an automatic should feel the need to back away from any performance mods thats all.

or maybe you are joking that im comparing the THXXX trannies to the stock auto? lol ^^

There is quite a lot you can do with an auto...........just look at my auto g.The valvebody in mine will shift faster then any manual can and im allways in boost.......but i dont get that (cool blow off valve sound)when it shifts though.........actually could care less about the sound.

i dont think it doesn't really matter about an auto and manual...
search it for a lil bit and get some sources and do what you wanna do =)

Good luck and Welcome to 350z forum.

Auto Zs will react the same way as Manual Zs to mods. There's really no difference. Go all out and have fun.
