Default new to the Z owner world...and tuning i guess

hey all i just bought my first 04 Z base model a week ago. and already loving the car and trying to find ways to mod. im really new with the whole tuning world i had a 240sx that was my first project and before i even got a chance to drive it around it got stollen. so tuning is really new to me i dont know much about brands or nissans for that matter i kind just forced the 240 parts to fit and was mean to that wrecked car. built it from the frame up cause some kid wrecked it. all stock parts for the most part. anyway i joined this place to hopefully meet some new people and learn the trade so to speak. like what to buy whats a waste of time and money what brands give you the best bang froyour buck and how to work on the car for the most part. well i hope to hear from everyone and willing to put any effort i can towards helpin everyone else out cause i know I'll be asking for help all the time lol. I also am in WA. anyone from my area on the site around tacoma or fed way? just curious. well thanks for reading

Welcome. You can spend $10 for cool lug nuts to $5,000 for wheels. Lots of choices between. Read, learn. Make an informed decision.

A lot of people who are looking to go low with coilovers go for the Stance GR+ coilovers where as a cheaper alternative would be BC Racing BR series coilovers.

Congrats on the Z as well.
