i really dont know much about this car with after market stuff so let me know whats the best things to do im looking to mod this Okay... Read around and research. You'll find out quickly that if you're not ready to spend quite a bit of money... you bought the wrong car.

If you don't have a lot of money... you'll hit a brick wall at 400hp.

what intake system more hp or better for the car ?If you're going FI, why bother wasting money?

exhaust system more hp loudness ?
Wait until you go FI so you can get a larger diameter exhaust.

lambo door kit ?
Absolutely not. if you want to, go ahead... just be ready to spend a lot of money for a body kit, etc to balance it out.

and so on thanks guys
Scrap that lame grill

Let me elaborate on Spork's update:

i really dont know much about this car with after market stuff so let me know whats the best things to do im looking to mod this
Come up with a plan of attack. Do you want to go F/I or N/A? Exterior, sound, performance, suspension first?

turbo or supercharger ? im really not worried about topspeed just tq

Vortech S/C is a popular kit because of the "lower" cost, reliability, and ease of install

If you want tq then go with a turbo but its not cheap on the VQ's. The stock block can handle 400-440 without replacing weak points. Expect to pay 7k+

what intake system more hp or better for the car ?
Why ask about intake if you want to go F/I? You could go with a CAI but risk water soak or short ram for heat absortion.

exhaust system more hp loudness ?
I'm very happy with my Nismo exhaust but don't use Nismo if you plan on going F/I later on

lambo door kit ?

Why would you even ask this?

yup..
No lambo doors please..

and yes.. if you decide to go FI, there is no point getting intakes...
Seeing that you want torque i would say turbo, but its not cheap..

and yea get rid of the grill.. maybe get an aftermarket bumper?

LOL x 2. All the dummies around my area have gawd awful grills on their Z's and looks pathetic. Stock owns any aftermarket shaver grill.

Also you have to pay to play with a Z. Go cheap and it will be noticed.

the K&N intake is on the top of my list.

other considerations would probably be Injen & Nismo... that's just me though...

Welcome to the forum. If you're looking for instant torque kick then supercharger, of if you're looking for a more pushy kick then turbo. So many bearings though, depends what brands, what you are intending on doing with the car, track, just general driving.

Might be a few answers in here.

Also look in the "forced induction" sub-forum here.
