Take a breeze through the forum rules since you're new here, it will explain to you the Search Feature, which is your friend and can help you with a lot of the questions you'll have.

^Since this is a forum where you converse amongst peers and not Google might I suggest looking into breathing mods EmmatheNismo. Id say most people will go with intakes first. The Stillen Gen 3 is very popular. An exhaust from Fast Intentions is also quite popular and produces excellent gains. If you plan on tracking it at all an oil cooler is necessary. Good luck modding, glad you are enjoying the car

Do Exhaust/HFC's first, then read through the forums about intakes. There are a lot of debates whether the CAI's are worth the money or not after other bolt on's are applied...

I am. No offence. It just drives me nuts when instead of being friendly and helping someone with a question people say "use the search engine". Not that you werent being friendly though. In the time it takes to tell someone to use the search engine you could simply answer their question instead. Maybe its just me but I actually like trying to help people out on here. Again nothing personal cwis. Just a personal annoyance.

I understand where your coming from and appreciate that you decide to help instead. But at the same time when the basic question gets asked over and over that there countless threads with the same basic question? it starts to get redundant. This forum isn't brand new so if folks would just at least search it would cut down on these types of noob questions but I know it won't stop them. I'm fine either way so I see both sides. Just my thought.

Just curious if everyone here was at one point a noob, or do some folks actually pop right on out of the womb with vast 370Z knowledge at birth ?

If you are on a budget, you could tint your windows. Get a GTR start button, a simota1 custom black gauge overlay, or black out your fangs ... all fairly inexpensive mods.

If money is not an object, UAM has a few superchargers for sale in the classifieds.
