Default Build a noob's 350z!

Hi, I'm new here and I'd like to ask you a few questions about the 350z because I'm a total noob.
I was thinking about a 350z with a TT Kit so I'd like to get some advice from you experts, I love the 350z also because of its quality/price ratio, please remember it when you suggest me parts to buy.


I want a powerful car which doesn't need the whole tank for 100 kms but one with a nice fuel economy and I don't want to **** up the engine in 50k kms
Which TT kit should I install? Does the APS match my needs?

What's the maximum speed of a 350z with a APS twin turbo?
How's the 0-62mph?


If I install a Twin Turbo I think I better install a spoiler and a kit to gain stability.
What are the best spoilers and what are the best body kits?

I think I also would have to change suspensions due to the whps gained from the TTs.
Which kind of suspensions should I get? What about Eibach's?

What about brakes? I love Brembo, Which Brembos do you advice me to get?

And the wheels? Are 18" enough to free 350z's power on the ground?
Which are the best rims for the 350z?
Should I get 19" rims?
Which tires should I get?


Should I replace other parts? (I know about the exhaust)

Please remember quality/price thing, thank you.


How much is all this gonna cost me?

Thank you for your time.

On a serious note:

This is your first problem, if your worried about price than building a TT Z is not for you.

Well guys, if you all can stop acting billionaires...
I think I am willing to spend up to 20k-25k in mods, do you think it is enough?

The only way to answer your questions, especially being the total noob that you said you are is to search and read the threads even if it takes you a month. By doing the research you will find out what fits your needs, otherwise your going to:

1. Get a it you won't like down the road
2. Start another APSvsTN war (oh yea I see it again)

We've all done the research and it would be best if you do too. cry, moan, agree with the statement above idk, its the only way to get the info you ask.

Okay this is only a ROUGH estimate for you. The real hunting will be up to you. Anyone feel free to correct my prices if they are jacked up. (I am in a helpful mood today )
APS TT (since you mentioned that one)About $10K with install
Clutch/Flywheel (JWT Combo) about $1K with install
BBK about 2000/4000 for front only/front+rear PARTS ONLY
Gauges/peripheries easily $1K with install
Exhaust/TP (APS 3") about $1.5K parts only
Tuning The sky is the limit here, $500-the moon
Thats only parts that would be deemed neccessary and thats almost $20K right there. Wheels/tires Another $3K Kit+paint $2K.
Then you have to consider getting the stuff. I imagine the US pricing is different than Europe, might be significantly higher there. Be ready. This is without building engine also, add another $10K minimum for that.

if you can get your hands on one go for it, because your looking at atleast $25,000 to do a tt setup properly.
