Start weight reducing its free! But make sure you can reinstall everything so try not to break or loose any bolts etc

there is a trick with the 2003 350z's where if you turn your foot a little to the right and push the gas as hard as you can the pedal hits a super micro switch and it will run 13's all day. its the truth i seen it on clubrsx.com

Altered Atmospheres plenum spacer is probably the best bang for the buck. It's $269.00 and add 10 to 15 hp!

Did you hold down the hazard light switch for the extra 10 horsepower? Most people do not know about that.

Add a whole bunch of stickers like JDM this and JDM that w/o anything JDM is good for at least 10hp, then add a Powered by Nissan windshield banner, good for another 10hp. Then the ultimate power adder would be the APC stickers good for at least 15hp at the rear right wheel. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

I respectfully disagree. The GT-R decal is the clear choice.

Best bet is to drill your stock one. put a 1/2 Hole, 12" Deep in your Stock Muffler every 3 Inches for best result. Seriously.
