I was originally waiting for 05, but after a month I decided to go ahead and buy. I got $400 over invoice which was the deal that I decided before going in would make me buy now.

I have about $2000 left since i had enough in the bank to pay MSRP, any suggestions where it should go? Groundking kit and pop charger seem to be the first things people go with, but beyond that I'm not sure. Maybe adding in NAV?

 

Congrats on the purchase.

Everyone's going to give you a different answer on this one. It really depends on what you're hoping to do with your car. With 2K, there isn't alot you can do to it that'll really make it go much faster, but if I were you, I'd do a CAI, Plenum, exhaust, and if you can swing it, some high-flow cats. If you shop, you can do this all for around 2K. This combo will give you the best performance/sound gains for the money you've got to work with.

As for grounding kit, other than a little smoother idle, that's really more of an aesthetic project than a functional one, but at around $75, it can't hurt.

If you want to go all cosmetics, get yourself a nice wing and a lip.and maybe some side-skirts. Product/paint/install will probably put you up between $1500 and $2000.

Like I said, it depends on what you want to do....

Good luck.

 

i personally would get new wheels first...and if you do decide to get new wheels just make sure you get what you really want...even if they are a lil bit extra...then after wheels if your lookin to do sumthin else i would do exhaust and intake...when i first got my z it already had adr's on it so i did intake,cf cooling plate,cf engine cover,jic cf strut bar and nismo oil and radi cap...so basically my engine bay is done now

 

if you dont mind, how much did you pay out the door for that car?

 

Bodykit!

As per' www.mynismo.com

Nismo Front Spoiler : $260.00

Rear Underbumper: $295.00

Nismo Side Sills : $370.00

Nismo Rear Wing: $295.00

Which brings ya to about $1220.00

Then paint, installation and a slick lookin' Z.

 

30k on a performance...invoice was 29,619 on edmunds

out the door was right at 32k with ttl

 

Doh! I paid $34,456 ttl two years ago They made a little off me, oh well
Congrats and let the fun start.

 

My first change was the stero system on my Performance. The car looks great as is (imo) and certainly has enough power for my driving. But the stock stero drove me nuts.

A decent replacement system, if you pay to have it installed, will cost $1500 +/-.

 

I passed on a deal of 26.9k out the door for an 03 Enthusiast, because I wanted the g35, so is 26.9 tax and title included a goodd eal on the z?

 

Surprised no one said coilovers and sways.

 

ditto on that... thats the path I would take
unless you want visual mods.. and then the best thing you can do would be wheels.
