Default I love my new 350Z...

...well new to me that is. I just picked up a 2005 350Z and I love it. This car is so solid compared to my 1994 Integra. I am itching to mod it and hopefuly you guys can guide me in the right direction.

I'll save you a lot of money, do wheels and suspension. Don't waste your time on na performance upgrades. If you want more performance go forced induction.

Congrats on the new Z, and welcome to the community.

Use the Search function on the forum to find what you want to know... pretty much every possible topic has been covered in length. This is a good start: https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-n...questions.html

As for as the mod bug... don't expect much performance gain until you go FI, and if you do, expect to shell out around $15k to do it right. You can always get the things that make it look and sound better, but don't waste $$$ on intake manifolds, headers, etc...

Z's aren't really a car that you mod. If you're interested in Mod's just wheels and a good Nismo body kits (expect to drop 4-5k) for it to be done right. All motor work is useless and lowers the resale value.

Thanks guys! I'll put some pictures up as soon as I can find my digital camera. All I realy want to do is intake and exhaust for now. FI might be out of my price range for now.
