You must be new here.

There's no such thing as a cheap mod with big gains.


I'd suggest reading some of the FAQs first...

Put sand in your intake, it will bore out the engine for more displacement. You'll be SMOKING Vettes! There is no replacement for displacement!

Yup weight reduction can be a free mod, driver mod is the other good one for making the car faster.

i would personally start with dual JWT pop chargers and motordyne art pipes. there's someone selling a new HR fujitsubo exhaust for 650 in the marketplace too.

don't expect any serious gains without a tune tho (or even with one lol). do some quick research and you'll understand

I pulled 287whp on a mustang dyno from 245 baseline

Stillen G3 intakes 400
X02 exhaust 280
Berk Test Pipes 150
Uprev with dyno tune 500

You probably wont make as much power as me but that's the best route besides weight reduction. I smoked other 350's all day.

But I spent 200$ on my 300zx tt and got 380whp .. you bought a NA car ... you fudged up haha


I'll sell you berk TP's for 120 .. best upgrade for your car.

Buy all your parts from ebay, make sure to list from lowest priced first.

In all seriousness... get a honda ECU, put it in your nissan. Instant V-tec

jk. fyi, never ask ANY question that involves "cheap" in it. You will get sarcastic answers will no real results. That is because there is no way to gain ANYTHING with cheap mods on our 350Z's... It's not a civic...

Cheapest mod for best "gain" (I'm assuming your definition of gain means HP) is probably plenum spacer. It's around 300 bucks... (cheap?)

Drive stock if you can't afford decent mods. Modding isn't a necessity.

Weight reduction can be free, all you have to do is remove the unneeded parts. Carpet, headliner , door panels, stereo etc etc. Removing 300 pounds will be better gains than anything you can buy for $300
