So far I ordered Nismo exhaust,intake, and headers. They just came in and will be installed the 16th and finished on the 18th. After that I'd like to get a flywheel, pulleys, and an air filter. And after all that I want to get a turbo but I gotta leave them come out and be tested and see how everything goes with them.

Over next year or so:
Stoptech 13" Front Brakes
S-Tune Suspension w/sways
Borla Exhaust

After that, probably nothing, but maybe:
Plenum that doesn't require removal of strut brace
Headers

That's probably all I'd ever do.

-D'oh!

Yeah, as long as it is realistic and possible. I have about 2k in the bank, and could list custom turbo, rims/tires, etc, but its not realistic. You get my drift, post stuff you plan on doing and have the means to do within the next few months.

That type of post was exactly what I was talking about was not neccesary. So you are going to have multiple types of each part? Those aren't your plans, thats a list of whats available...

This Friday I am getting my plenum, headers, and pulley installed. I have cat pipes from lsdunique on the way, and I am still torn between either getting a suspension setup or getting Tomei cams. At the end of the month I am also getting the Technosquare ECU. I am going to hit 300hp naturally before I go turbo.

Dang! Just how many Zs do you plan on buying??? I haven't even started on mine yet--it's a pretty peppy car bone stock. But you guys are giving me some good ideas for down the road when the car is paid off.

Better get that flame suit ready, Nissan350ZTT. We all know about what's AVALIABLE. No offense, kid, but if you want to be taken seriously on this forum, you shouldn't cut and paste other people's compiled lists.

BTW--MY list of mods...

So Far:
InJen CAI
Insanemine Grounding Kit
B&B Exhaust
Nismo Replica Spoiler
Amber LED Sidemarkers

Up Next/On order:
Nismo S-Tune Suspension
Nismo Sway Bars
Volk GT-7s 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear
Headers (Not sure which ones yet)
*Maybe* Cams
Cheater Slicks for my stock wheels
And in the somewhat distant future, the one, the only, ATI Procharger. Just afraid to be the guinea pig on that one.

Woah, Woah, woah. I didn't copy + paste. Well actually I did, from MY Microsoft Word document. I have spent time planning out what I plan on doing, I put it down. I am getting ONE 350Z, I just haven't decided on specifics yet. Those are MY plans for the ONE 350Z when I get it. These are definately possible seeing as how I am going to get them. Those aren't the SPECIFICS. That isn't a list of what's available, actually it kind of is, but it is a list of what's available that I AM getting and IS possible. Well Wren, I asked, you said yes, as long as it's possible, and it is. Also, 350zspeedracer- You mean the compiled list that Victor deleted that I posted again for everyone? I used that list when picking out what I was going to do to the Z. That is seriously wrong to accuse someone else of stealing someone else's list without any proof, especially when I didn't.

Chill out guys! He posted a list with the various alternatives available. Nice to see. Nice to have.

Who cares where it all came from!

So far I've installed the Stillen grille, and the Borla duals should be on by Friday! Other than that, all I've done is hardwire my Valentine in with its remote display.

Thinking about adding the air intake, but not at all sure which one, and which ones might be problematic with water intake and such.

Finally...what's the grounding unit do for you??
