Just got my 350z, coming from a WRX.

2003, 56k miles.
Mostly stock, came with a nice pair of bucket seats and the exhaust had its resonators cut out (I still need more loud!) Car hasn't seen snow, free of rust.

Nice pick up. Welcome

 

Congrats on the Z! Cool looking seats and wrx. Before I bought my Z I was considering the version 8 WRX Sti

 

Car is too clean! Interior unscratched!

Photoshopped Z?

 

jealous!
Looks well taken care of.
**get some 06+ headlights and tailights!!

 

Unless my eyes are seeing wrong, that Z already has the facelift tails. However do get the facelift headlights

 

im the one that didnt notice hah

 

They did come with 06 tails! Ill consider the headlights aswell! Plug n play? My priority now is tp get that exhaust tone. Any recommendations on a budget?

 

Depend on budget. Motordyne is good and agency single exhaust is good also.

 

Also the driver window motor is working 1 out of 100 times you press it... Heard this is like the most common problem with the 350.

 

Those seats look hideous in your Z. You should give them to me and I will dispose of them properly!!!

The window motors going out is common. I believe there is a DIY to replace them yourself, Idk how tech savvy you are...??

For exhaust on a budget I suggest........STOCK! Until you can afford what you want. I have had the same exhaust for almost my entire ownership of the Z(Discontinued GReddy Evo II with resonators cut out). There is a used Bassani exhaust in the marketplace, which would have been my 2nd choice. It was a good price too, so it may not be there anymore.

Welcome to the forum.... Good luck modding

 

Real clean Z.

I agree with Question, save up till you can afford what you want.

As for you upgrading to 06+ headlights, from the looks of your steering wheel you have cruise control which means you don't have a base model so you're good to go on upgrading. Simple plug n play. Just requires snipping a blue wire so the turn signal light doesn't stay on. If you have any questions about that just let me know, i swapped mine out for 06+. HUGE difference.

Anyways, congrats!

 

Yeah ill probably stick with stock for a little. Any noticeable gains with an exhaust system? and yup it's a touring model. So far im really liking the Z community, pretty helpful !

 

Welcome and congratulations!

 

The noticeable gain from my exhaust was measurable in Smiles from ear to ear hearing the note change.

Full intake/plenum(for your DE)/cat replacement/exhaust/tune is the only way to get REAL noticeable numbers to an ACTUAL dyno, not the butt dyno.
