Default 92 K1500 to 06 350z base

Its been a pretty big jump for me i should say going from a pick up to a Z but after i had the chance to drive my first Z i was hooked. Anyone have any tips and knowledge they can pass on about the car i should know about? This will be a project car down the road once i get another DD...

No prob, Im not really new to the site, ive lurked here for a while before I actually became a member (wanted to get my z first), that post I put up is probably the best answer your going to get to your question on this site, there are so many different options and opinions for mods and upgrades, its really up to you. What are you trying to make your car do? do you need a dd or a track/drag car? or is it a show car? Thats what needs to be asked before you start looking at mods, or your going to spend a lot of wasted money trying to find your perfect Z.

Honestly in the end it will be a track car, looking to do full rb26dett swap after i run the car in to the ground but for now just some cosmetic upgrades just to make the car look clean, more over coilovers,wheels etc, maybe do a full stance set-up but ive been looking around and it seems that even that is a nice penny to get done

thx bronzee lol tbh im hoping to do a full either LS1 vette swap or keep it in the family by doing an RB26DETT, all i got out of those ideas were constant debates between people so in the end im just gonna have to make that decision myself
