This has probably been the best week of my life. i traded in my old beat up bmw 318ti for a 2003 350z touring. i love it! i cant even look at it without a weird tingly sensation pulsing through my body. Now that i have enjoyed it for a week i would like to get down to buisness, modding. I have done a bit of researching and have found out that the best way to add some easy power n/a is a k n drop in filter and a 5/16 plenum spacer. what do you guys think? im looking for a good daily driver but still a car that can go out on weekends and show people whats up. any other ideas? thanks.

Give us some pics and we can give you some ideas.

Also, welcome to the forum!

 

pics of what? the car is a completly stock touring coupe. and thanks i find this forum extreamly helpful.

Also i was wondering how hard it is to install the md 5/16 plenum spacer i am planning on ordering it this weekend from mynismo.com unless anyone knows of somewhere i could get it for cheaper

 

Just check out the classifieds here.

 

how dependable are the classifides? also is the only difference between the 06 from the 03-05 the air box? thanks.

 

Welcome to the community Mark. Enjoy, and be prepared for your wallet to gobbled up by the Z.

 

We don't care! We want to see pics.

 

Congrats on the Z.

There is a difference between the 06 air box and the 03-05. You might want to consider a jwt popcharger. Also the plenum spacer is a fairly easy install.

 

Ok, ok...I'll do the honors. For GP.




Oh yeah welcome!!

 

i have heard bad things about the jwt and heat soak. i have also herd that the o6 air box is really well designed and will beat out any after market intake also is there a web sight i can order it from?
here are some pics of my baby

sorry the pics kinda suck

congratulation on the purchase!

 

I think you need 10 mm spacers...they added 10 HP on my car......and very inexpensive.

 

who makes the 10 mm spacer i have not heard of that one and thanks for all the advice guys keep it comin

 

After the spacers.....you should really think about the shorty antenna. Again, it added another 10 hp and you can pick those up all day long in the classified section.

Before you know it you will be a 350hp NA Z....like me. Happy Modding!

I love noobs.

 

ha funny i may be new to this forum but i have been around cars my whole life and am going to school for them so you can take that antenna and shuv it up your @$$ lol

 

Just playing with you....have fun with your new car! I have the JWT popcharger and 5/16th plenum spacer among other NA mods and I welcomed both addtions.

 

alright thats more like it lol what did you think of the jwt i heard bad things about heat soak and also herd the best way to go is the 06 airbox? any opinions?

 

no opinions....all Na mods don't really matter to much. Mostly style because the Z engine is pretty well tuned out of the factory. You might squeeze a few more hp here and there but not much.

Save up and get a built enigne with a turbo on it. I have about every bolt-on NA Mod on the car and yes it sounds cool and is a little faster but it's mostly style points.

All they are are an extension of our personalities.........

 

that was my plan (after i win the lottery) i was just looking for a few cheap parts to squeeze out some easy power i have also seen some n/a builds that have made some pretty good power, 300whp. whats it put to the wheels stock i was thinkin like around 255-260?
