New to this forum. I recently purchased a very nice 350z with only 20,000 miles on it. Initially, I am replacing the Bridgestone rubber, installing Hawk pads and SP cross drilled and slotted rotors. The car came with a Nissmo cold air induction and an after market SS exhaust. My question is: what else down the line is the most cost effective upgrade for this car? Chip? Headers? BTW, I just finished a Factory Five Cobra Replica pushing 450HP . I am not really detered by anything mechanical/electrical so I am open to all suggestions.

Thanks for any & all reponses,
AJ

 

Welcome!

From what I have read on this site...
The best quick/cheap things to do are the 5/16 Metaldyne Spacer, and test pipes.
Again that is what I have seen to be the consensus on this site
Good luck with your Z

 

Welcome, +1 on the Motordyne 5/16" Plenum Spacer, but consider High Flow Cats instead of Test Pipes. On a non-turbo or non-supercharged Z, both High Flow Cats and Test Pipes will provide good hp gains but, the hp increase difference between High Flow Cats vs. Test Pipes is minimal. Plus, Test Pipes literally smell, are typically illegal and are bad for the environment.

Its a good smell tho +2 on spacer and headers, but if you are really adventurous you could check out cams before a fuel retune =)
