Then performance, first thing I want to do is install my Oil Cooling and then intake.

Thank you for the help!

Doesn't the Stillen SC come with its own intake?

As to the mods, it depends what you want to do with the car. Whatever it is I try to come up with a master plan for my end goal, and make sure each upgrade I do along the way is a part of that.

And that way you are throwing money away such as buying an intake when you will be getting one when you go SC. The stock lens aren't that bad anyways. In your case I'd maybe throw a set of K&N drop-ins into the stock boxes and call it good until you get your SC.

Don't waste money on things that don't fit into the final plan.

You mentioned GTR start button and map lens. You should start with those then.

That's not necessary until he goes FI. Until then, standard virgin olive oil is good enough. Trying to make him waste money?

First and foremost mod: learn how to drive her. Know her limits and acclimate as you progress in power.

Before any significant power adder you should probably upgrade the brake pads. Do some research here and come up with a conclusion. There are plenty of threads on this.

If you're just going to "pretty her up" with makeup and drive her as a cruiser then it's whatever.

The first modification of any new Z owner is to master the search function of this forum. Seriously.

However, wheel spacers, a CAI, sway bars and 60mm CBE run a close second.

What?! There's nothing wrong with the engine cover. It sure looks a hell of a lot better than the ugly milk crate looking upper intake manifold. Now that thing is hideous!

The first mod I do with every vehicle is get the windows tinted.

Being Italian and being an expert in Olive oil, I can confirm it's the placebo effect
