Good first projects for a beginner
 

I couldn't find a thread like this so post some first things to do to your car such as cold air intakes, Sound deadners etc

Stillen G3
Replace map lights/hatch/license plate lights with LED bulbs
Shift knob

All I can really think of right now

Are muffs not considered?

They are not hard to change with the proper tools/equipment.

Thanks for the input, let's see what other people think

This all depends on what the car is going to be used for.

For performance driving:
Front sway bar (as stiff as you can get)
Clutch-type LSD

and most importantly...


tighten the nut behind the wheel.

Hmm DD and going to meets so aesthetics and comfortable driving

Solid advice! :rofl2:

Your first week behind the wheel, and your DIY chops, will likely dictate your first project. :)

For me, it was a swap of the factory audio head-unit, followed by sound-deadening the trunk.

Exhaust work is way out of my league, but I'm currently working towards replacing the anemic-sounding stock exhaust.

So far, I find the Z has more than enough power to keep me entertained, so upping torque is something I will likely leave until much later, if ever.

As has been said, it's all about your personal priorities. :D

Deadening the trunk? Only? Why not all the wheel wells and all that jazz

Mine was a new shift knob. A buddy of mine has a lathe...

I did the stereo, exhaust, cats, and intakes all at the same time when I first got it

Such as lawyers and cubic yards of money?

It's a sticky, dude. Read threads before making new ones. This forum has been around long enough to already have the answers to your questions. We don't need a new thread for each instance of a new member asking an old question.

The rear area is where most of the road noise comes from. The rear wheel wells are usually considered part of the job. The rear is also pretty easy to access - not so much the doors, &c.

I tried to look it up, couldn't find it, so I made one.

Thanks for posting it though

It's the second sticky in the general discussion forum. It's pretty hard to miss.

If you go to google and add site:the370z.com to your search, it'll work better than the search feature here.

Since the door has been kicked open, I'm gonna add my .02 :icon23:



Your first mod: Sign the title over to me, and deliver the car and keys to me in Kansas.... :icon14:

if you can't master the simple function of reading through threads, using the forum based search or Google search, you are too ignorant to own this car. :owned:


I don't much care if you find this offensive or not, but really, the threads you have started are inane and juvenile. Every thread topic has been started and discussed many years ago, some of them get resurrected from the dead when someone adds to them, usually new guys that can't read. I'm not sure, but I think I've only started a couple of threads, and I think one of them was in the 'new to the forum' section and I'll probably start a 'build' thread at some point. :yum:

IMHO, you are skating really close to having one of the admins 'temp ban' you, just to teach you a lesson. I'm not one of the OGs here, I've only been here since 2013, but I know enough to be smart when I post....

Ah I get it, would it not make much of a difference to do all of them basically?

I think you mean LED bulbs... lol

The hatch and wheelwells are easy, and make a big difference if you do it right. The doors will help too, but it's more of a PITA to get in there. The hatch is a day's work and you notice a difference immediately. DIY is really the only way to go since the material is cheap, but labor would add up.

Do the DRL (If you have >13 year old Z). Its very easy and looks cool!

I'll look into it..random question how do you change your username or can you?

Lol yep.. Thanks for pointing that out. Running on 4 hours of sleep so I am definitely not firing on all 8 today.

Why not?? Maybe it would have taught him to use the search feature and it builds character. :rofl2:

:icon18::shakes head: still probably won't use it

I'm not ashamed to admit I enjoyed beating you to it for once. :rofl2:
