just got a 2003 black 350z. I wanna get into some basic mods right away and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about short ram intakes, single or dual exhaust, or wheels that might look good with my car

 

dont get short ram intakes get cai, and begin with reading the sticky's on the tech pages, all info needed is in there

 

DavidV will be along any minute..........................

 

This:
Read the faqs, do some research on the parts you plan on buying, it will save you $

 

Welcome to the boards.

 

Welcome and like Viva said do a lot of research using the search on this forum to see what best for you. Good Luck.

 

welcome! good luck with the Z

 

congrats on the z. any pics?

 

Welcome, should upload some pics.

 

congrats on the Z!, make sure you get what you like.

 

thanks for the all the welcomes! im gonna clean my car thoroughly inside and out this weekend and will do a nice little photo shoot of my own =]

as far the cai goes im just a bit worried cus it rains a lot (and very randomly) down here in florida and i hear the filter can be easily damaged by puddles and what not...anybody know anything about that?

AEM sells a bypass valve i think its called that is supposed to help with this. Just get a JWT Popcharger. my two cents

 

pardon my noobness lol but would a jwt popcharger be any better than a k&n, aem, etc?

 

IMO I think your best bet is to stay stock with the intake. The stock exhaust is pretty well tuned and is actually a single exhaust, a lot of people upgrade to the Nismo exhaust for a little louder noise. As for wheels, 19" Volks tend to the be the best choice (obviously nothing in chrome and if you have the $$$ for them). Some members on the forum also upgrade to oem nismo or oem GT Volk wheels.

 

Great intake, just make sure you install the heat shields. Short rams like the JWT work fine on the Z, better when tuned, and a heat shield is as must. JWT comes with the heat shield.

 

Welcome to the forum, and happy detailing, now you have a black Z. With regards to mods, if you check in the Colors subforum, there's all matter of mods, just find one you like.

 

yeah i did some research on JWT and they seem to be the best choice, pretty good prices too, so im probably gonna order one tonight

I was talking to a friend today about exhaust systems for the z and after some youtube browsing single exhausts sound a lot better for my taste. anybody know of any big drawbacks of a single exhausts?

 

Volks are so very very sexy, especially the te37's. But they are just so pricy. a friend recommended xxr 521's but im not sure about those so im still browsing around
