What prefix did you choose? 'No prefix' or 'NSFW' ?
Great boildown for the thread. You've condensed a lot of info into a somewhat shorter version to save us noobs from repeatedly asking the same questions and pissing off the veterans here. Thank you
There is a guy on line every once in a while who goes by the name of HREwheelmaker. He is Bob at HRE wheels. They do custom wheels measured to each car. He is the best source I know on wheel fitmit. If he will answer your question you will be a lucky guy beczuse he knows his stuff. . Trust me, he is an expert on it.

whats the biggest tire size u can fit on the stock 350z rims I believe they are 9" wide n the back but im not 100% sure
Hello, my name is Eliot and this week I bought my first 350z, I saw a rear bumper that I would love to buy but I can't find it, I would appreciate your help, thanks.
Being a new , to me, 350Z owner, your article gave me a lot of insight as to where I should start. Although you wrote it some time ago the basics are still the same. Greatly appreciate your insight.
As of right now i dont have my 350z yet, with finances being tight i decided it would be best to actually plan it all out first that way I dont end up like some people I know whose cars have amazing potential but they just werent financially ready for it. That being said I read through what Mic had posted about how to go about putting mods on. I know that stock the 350 can put out close to 300hp so my goal is to shoot for 4-500, my budget is around 4-6K and I am just right under that at the moment with getting everything. Ive broken my build process into 5 stages.
First stage is suspension and wheels/tire, I am going with Megan racing 1.25" front and rear springs, TEIN EnduraPro Plus shock absorbers and 20mm wheel spacers.
Second stage is transmission, I plan on getting a McLeod Street elite clutch kit and a short throw shifter, I figured that before I even think of putting 100-200hp to the tranny i should at least get it to the point that it can handle it.
Third stage is mainly air intake, I plan on getting the Kinetix V+ Intake plenum and a Injen SP cai then going the complete opposite way and changing out the wonderful plastic valve covers for aluminum ones.
The fourth stage is where I plan on bringing in a new fuel delivery system but I am stuck on what injectors to decide on and how high of a cc I should go. I had seen on a different thread someone had said that starting out 450cc injectors would be fine, was hoping to get some clarification on this, like I said i am only trying to get at most another 200hp. Also havin trouble choosing a fuel pump as well, I already have new fuel lines and rail system in mind.
The fifth stage is getting all that lovely hot air out, I plan on getting a Borla headers and replacing the exhaust valves and possibly slightly bigger pipe from the cat back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I do apologize if all this couldve been answered in the FAQ thread..

Stock hp at the wheels is around 240 depending on the dyno.
400-500hp goal? What's your plan for FI? Otherwise, you might break 300 staying NA.

At first I was thinking I wouldn't need FI but after somemore researched i realized that that was a pretty lofty dream. Im thinking now for FI I'll slap a turbo on it.
Realistically, you need to have probably around $15K-$20K saved to buy a Z and turbo it. You're probably better off buying someone else's turbo'd Z and hope it was done right.
If you're just after HP, then it's a better idea to get something else. The Z33 is not about raw power.

I'm not looking to buy something that already has the work put into it. I am wanted something that I can build and call my own.

Sounds good. I hope you've got some disposable income to first purchase a good starting platform and then go FI. Read up in the build threads in the FI section. Make your own thread and document the journey. Good luck.
