Default New and needin help!

Hey guys! My name is Zach. I'm a new 350Z owner as of Sat. Feb. 16. It's a 2006 2dr coupe. The only thing I have in mind at the moment is suspension and small engine mods. I don't want to get too extreme at the moment... thats for the future. Any advice you could give me as far as good set-ups or recomendations would be much appreciated! I also wanted to say thanks for the add to the forum! I hope I can learn a lot here and maybe help teach some things in return!

Welcome Zach, you know the mod bug starts slowly, and greedily eats at your wallet. Enjoy.

I agree with Bronzee. Be ready to dig deep into your pockets. Once you start, it is almost impossible to stop.

As a fellow noob, I say start with the easy, bolt on stuff. They're relatively cheap but can still get the job done.

Welcome, Zach. I have the same '06 coupe. I've made a few cost-effective changes that have made a big impact on handling...Hotchkis sway bars and Tein S-Tech springs. Also did wheels and tires...a bit more expensive, but worth it in my opinion. Makes the Z handle much better. Next is to get a limited slip differential!
Good luck.

Default lsd...

So I was gonna ask after a lil bit how feesable a lsd is to put on. And thanks on the suspension input. Thats the first thing I really want to do to the car. I really want to research and ask around before I but to make sure that i'm getting something good for my money and actually helpful to my car.

Pop back to the main page, and have a look around the "drivetrain" forum.

Congrats Zach. Have you got your questions answered or are you still figuring out the "search". Lots of good advice here in just a few short replies.
