New Z owner from North Alabama

Picked up my 2014 370Z last Friday. The last week has been nothing but smiles. Touring with sport package, 6-speed manual and nav. This is a early 50th birthday present

Picked up my 2014 370Z last Friday. The last week has been nothing but smiles. Touring with sport package, 6-speed manual and nav. This is a early 50th birthday present to myself and my first sports car.











I talked to the guys at Z1 Motorsports in GA this week about adding some HP. I think I'm going to just start with a Gen3 cold air intake and then go from there. Im afraid to get too crazy before I find out what will and won't kill my factory warranty. I feel pretty safe with just the air intakes.

I had sent Z1 a email to get a quote on installing a Gen3 CAI and a Stillen exhaust. What's special about the Fast Intentions? Just the sound?

Good for you. Enjoy the ride!

Might consider a short trip to Nashville April 11 and 12 for our ZATTACK event with the Saturday car show at Nissan's HQ building just off I-65 in Franklin, TN.

Z1 Motorsports will be here as a sponsor so you could "talk mods" with them.

Congrats, these cars are a blast. I have your car's MB cousin out here in the west. Most on this board personalize their cars with mods and upgrades, kinda like the H/D scene if you are into motorcycles.

I would put wheel spacers and HFC's on your early short mod list. These have brought me the most pleasure to date. Also, if you can find a NISMO exhaust 'take off' on the board to buy they are a great value for what you pay.

Good motoring.

Sterling

Thanks, I've really been on the lookout since buying my Z and have only seen 1 (light blue) in the past week. I'm planning on going to cars & coffee next Saturday in Madison if your interested.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what do the wheel spacers add/do?
