Hey guys whats going on, i thought i'd try and introduce myself since im NEW here lol. well i own a 2004 Touring 350Z with about 45k miles on it. i bought it back in 2010 but haven't really had much time with her to really try and fix her up. my job keeps calling me away from home. but i shall return with a vengeance and spoil her a bit. well thank you for your time in reading this and i hope i posted it in the correct place...

Future purchases:
-Headers
-HFC or test pipes
-Cat-back exhaust
-Coil-overs
-Light weight Pulley set
-and other minor body mods like an S2k antenna, white reflectors, HID kit aswell.

and if someone can guide me in the right path for these little parts i would appreciate it. once again thank you guys. this site is amazing!

Welcoming to the modding world!
You may want to reconsider headers.Not worth the expense.
I'd add a plenum spacer to your list.Being in Cali,would think test
pipes would be a problem.HFC's a better choice.Get a tune after
you bolt on all this stuff to get the best bang for the buck.You'll
find your car will be running lean.A tune will get things balanced.

Berk HFC is a very popular choice for you. In Cali, the smog is extremely strict, it's probably a good idea to go with HFC. Coilovers i would suggest to look into BC Racing or KW coilovers, they are extremely popular for the z community. If you have questions, feel free to shoot me a pm! i would love to help you out!

thank you guys for the tips, but since my car is registered in Arizona, the cali laws dont phase me since my plates will be good for 2 years lol. Also about the pics, i haven't posted any since im on deployment rite now and the internet on the ship sucks! ( btw im in the navy) i will be coming home in a month. I will post a lot more after i finally have internet.

So aftermarket headers are not worth it that much for the price ? what i mean by in the performance matter is it noticeable ? and yes i have considered a tune but i think i will look into that after i decide that i have spent enough on engine mods for the time being. Yes i'm going to purchase the Motordyne Isothermal Spacer soon!
