New 350z Supercharged owner
Just picked myself up a red supercharged 350z. I've been reading this site for over a week now and this is one of my first post. Looking foward to being part of the community, and don't worry i'll have some pics of the ride soon. and i plan on keeping track of all the mods i do photo by photo to show all the progress, time, and money i put into my new toy 
edit: and now for the pics.

but after researching it's only the stage 1. this winter i'll be getting it to stage 3, pulleys, headers, downpipes, exhaust, lighter wheels and better tires, and maybe an ECU for s\c and a boost gauge.
i've been reading alot of tech stuff trying to see what is best for this and that. while we are on the subject, any personal opinions on best ECU system for the Z w/ a stillen s\c?
Also i know after reading more the Stillen doesn't put out the highest numbers but i am done with Turbo's after my last car (mr2spyder). too many problems for me
but i like the better reliability and not going all ***** to the walls (yet at least). But a good chunk of WHP is what i'm shooting for. maybe 400whp? also i would love to drive this on 5-6hour roadtrips. it's sumthin i missed with the MR-S. couldn't leave like more then 30mins away and go above 70mph on the interstate.
Nevermind i've always wanted a 350z since i first saw one. never thought i would own one anytime soon. like a dream come true ^_^
OH YEA! pics on the way soon i promise!

A good idea would be to contact the previous owner and get all the information you can about the car. Example: has it had a trans./clutch warranty replacement yet or anything else you should know, they have nothing to lose by telling you, plus ask for all mod. reciepts if they have them.

save your money for a ecu it wont help with the stillen,s power unless you plan on ditching the 7th injector,replacing all the injectors and such.scratch stage 3 and go straight for stage 4(trust me on this),and you will never see 400rwhp with the stillen.i know i have a stage 4.

don't understand why though
if i change to a different ECU with the stillen do heads and test pipes with nismo exhaust and upgrade the s\c... can i just have it dyno tuned to make it put out the right power?
EDIT: Also i am looking all over their site for a stage 4 and searched forums. haven't found much. could u link me to the stuff or should i just call stillen considering i'm upgrading from the stage 1 to the 3 or 4. and does the stage 4 come with a special ECU? thanks again bro ^_^

dont even bother with test pipes cause the roots s/c likes back pressure to work properly.now if you go with cam,s you would have to call sam at stillen to get the fmu recalibrated.

sharp looking car bro! too bad about the front license plate though
the dealer i bought my Z from also slapped one of those on there, and now there's holes punched in the bumper, thinking about covering it with a bra until i get a new front kit.
