Default My New Z!!!

Hello all,

I just recently purchased a 2004 Nissan 350z. I recently installed an AEM Cold Air intake, a JET Performance Mass airflow sensor, and a helix throttle body spacer. I am planning on buying and installing a borla exhaust system, and I was wondering if anyone had any input onto whether this is a good idea or not.

I am happy to be a new member in this post, so please let me know what you guys think about these additions.

Also, I will be posting pictures of the car as soon as I get home from work!

IMO i'd dump all three of those mods they are going to do nothign for you.

Go to the exhaust section and re ask your question about the exhaust.

Definately head on over to Exhaust/Intake and ask what exhaust to buy.

......well 153 mph huh? i can see where you may be in another thread here shortly my friend. That's pretty fast to be going AND taking a shitty picture at the same time. Hope you don't have a passenger.

Please leave this forum and never come back. We really don't need another "Totaled" thread, and we really don't want to hear 3rd hand about your death. Go about your business with the Z and don't return here.

You know nothing about the car or how it handles and your already doing this stupid ****. Im just at a loss for words....

I hope you didn't shell out too much money for those.

Congrats on doing 153. Make sure to have your mom come back and update this thread when you get killed.

[QUOTE=JEKL;8176723] I hope you didn't shell out too much money for those. [QUOTE]

Haha, didn't spend too much money. Around $400 total. The main thing about those additions is that I notice a big sound difference.

The 153 was in a controlled area, and I didn't take the picture. I ended up getting to about 156, but the picture was obviously taken before then.

As for everyone on here that is talking about me dieing, I have taken several defensive driving courses, and quite a few speed courses. Also, when I was in college, I was on the Formula 1 team, so 153 is not that big of a deal.

Thanks for your concerns guys!

The person who got into the passenger seat with me was a racing instructor. He knew that I was going to be going this fast, and he was the one who suggested taking the picture with his iPhone.

Also, there is a thing called spell check. I suggest you check it out!

Oh word? It wasn't full size formula 1. I did it when I went to college. We built the cars, using no frame, and 600cc Motorcycle engines.

Congrats on test driver! I wish I could do something like that!
