Default I am Pop Charger hear me roar!!

I recently demodded my Z, (~$12,000) in a plea agreement with my wife so that I could buy a racecar. Well part of the agreement is that I can't really mod the Z much anymore. I can mod it, I just can't spend much money on it. (That and I must buy her an item of jewelry to be announced at a later date. Probably Feb14). Not modding has been very difficult, because lots of really good stuff has recently been put up for sale.

Anyway, I feel like such a noob posting about this, but a cheap Pop Charger came up and I bought it. Installed it today and wow, this is a great mod. The car doesn't feel any faster, but it totally ROARS when you get it on. Very cool! Here's a little vid, enjoy.

I didn't run any intake, because none of them made power. Some lost it.

14" Stoptechs (Unknown quantity of brake pads at $250 per set.)
3.9 Final Drive
Tilton Flywheel/Clutch
Technosquare ECU
Evo Short shifter
Pulleys
CCW Wheels 9"/10.5"
265/295 Toyos, then about 3 sets of Pirelli PZero Corsas
Teins Coilovers
Nismo diff cooler
Hotchkis Sways
LaBree Test Pipes
UR Y-pipe
Japtrix B-pipe
C-West front bumper
Custom GT3 style wing
Aero stuff from the track edition
Video Datalogger
Harness Bar/Harnesses

That's off the top of my head. That's why I thought it was funny that a pop charger gave me such a kick. Now I have a Nismo shift **** and oil filler cap, a pop charger and now a set of headers!! I'll probably have to cool it for a while now. ;-)

That's pretty funny. Most people do the pop-charger first and eventually get around to doing the other mods on your list.

Good to see you're stoked like a newb who just took his Z off the dealership lot.

Actually yes. I forgot I had a K&N filter still. One more thing I've got to sell! Yeah, maybe I can buy some NISMO tire valve caps! I've also got the rear valence from the "Italian Kit" which will be fore sale soon.
