Default Best bolt ons for a 350z?

I've got an '04 Automatic 350z. I'm am just simply looking for a list of some popular/good bolt ons for my Z.

Right now all I have is:
Injen CAI, berk test pipes, and a motordyne spacer

I'll be getting full exhaust in December.

Also a dyno tune in January.

Thanks in advance

Try reading this sticky thread for starters. Lots of good information in there: https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...to-your-z.html

Also, there is a button at the top for "Search". Try searching for "best bolt on" or "best mod". You'll be amazed at how many times this same question has been asked and answered in previous threads.

Also, what are your goals for your car? Spend money? Go fast? Impress chicks? Show? Track? Daily driver?

A little more info will go a long way, because there are a wide range of mods for our cars.

save your money as far as power adders go. you will be not be impressed with the ~235-245whp you can put down with all of your bolt ons and tune. wayyyy too much money required for very little gained.

stick to suspension and aesthetics, imo. I had an automatic Z and I wasted about ~3 grand on N/A bolt ons and what a joke it was. I could have nearly had a supercharger setup for what it cost.

the only 'performance' minded mod that had any impressive impact was the rear end gear swap. boosted guys want your 3.3 fd pumpkin, try to trade it for a 3.5/3.7/3.9 : )

All I care about is doing good at the qtr mile. Yes I'm willing to spend a good amount of money for mods.

For QTR mile, I would think about some of the following:

Lightweight 17" wheels - skinny fronts, fat rears
Slicks or Drag Radials
Upgraded LSD
Upgraded Final Drive
Upgraded Suspension True Coilovers/Camber & Toe Arms
Osiris Flash
Solid diff/tranny/motor mounts
Strip all interior panels
CD009 Upgraded Manual Tranny
Utec + Zex Wet Kit + Nano kit + colder plugs
Frame Brace
Rollcage
Upgraded rods/bolts/cams + raise rev limit

NA Breather mods don't make any difference without a tune. Even with a tune, I'd expect a good driver to get better results from drag rubber and weight reduction. I'd expect LSD and appropriate final drive to walk another Z that has full breather bolt ons.

Search is a great tool as well, OP.

If this is true.... Then for the price of this:

Lightweight 17" wheels - skinny fronts, fat rears
Slicks or Drag Radials
Upgraded LSD
Upgraded Final Drive
Upgraded Suspension True Coilovers/Camber & Toe Arms
Osiris Flash
Solid diff/tranny/motor mounts
Strip all interior panels
CD009 Upgraded Manual Tranny
Utec + Zex Wet Kit + Nano kit + colder plugs
Frame Brace
Rollcage
Upgraded rods/bolts/cams + raise rev limit
You could almost get this... the only real NA mod that makes power. Plus it will help in the quarter too
