Hi,
l am new to this forum and new to the import sports car scene. l have a 350Z Enthusiast and want to know what brand is the best for intake, exaust and engine components. Also, where should l go to look for these parts?
Thanks

 

Keep in mind that this is my opinion.

Intake - Injen

Exhaust - Borla

Engine Components - There are no great parts yet.

Welcome to the site, I hope this helps.

 

ls there a way that l can get different rear end gear ratios? l used to have a Mustang and this is the most common modification. Has anyone here ever done that to their Z? l'm thinking about stepping it up to 4.10.....

 

I asked the same question on another thread....I used to have mustangs and other fords in the 60.s ...rear gears was the game then and shud be now....still no answeres

 

I think the general consensus was that first gear on the Z would become way to short with lower gears in the rear since it is already pretty short. This just doesn't seem to be a popular mod in the traditional domestic sense in the import world.

 

ah ha.....change the 1st gear.....dats wat we did in da 60.s .....big azz gear makes for great eight mile accelaration...and for street drags dats all u need...turbos lag off the line.....i think the z is 357 final...uping it to 456 or 486 wud be the tick....and if u gotta slush box.....ya will eat dat stix alive......snort

 

Sorry dude I don't understand that language. I am for putting in a .5 6ixth gear with some 4.10's though.

 

ah hah....somebody is out there who thinks gearing.......am i right about the stock final gear??? 357??....where do you suggest i look for availability of different rear gears for the z......btw...slush box...is 60.s lingo for automatic transmission.......very low rear end ratios with an auto trans would turn the z into a rocket......ive been there I know....

 

Ha! I know the lingo but couldn't figure out the language. Anyways, like I was saying, I think you will have an extremely difficult time finding gears for the trans or the rear in this car. The gears are right there in the mid 3.5 range like a 3.53 or so. The auto has a 3.27 I think. Can't remember exactly although you can google it.

 

Definitely... 1st gear is already slightly annoying to me. You are revving the hell out of the engine before you know it! 1st is my least favorite gear next to 6th. 3rd is my fav. It pulls long and hard (insert **** pun here) and I really like the sound of the building revs from my Borla out of this gear!!

 

to get back on subject, sgpracing.com has some new pistons, cams, and a bunch of other stuff for the engine on the Z
