(4100) Te37 wheels including center cap cover and rays hubring (4100)
(230). R40 Iconix Lug nuts
(350). Set of pressure sensor Autel maxi tpms ts508
(1200) Brand new michelin pilot tires
(1300) Brand new michelin winter tires
(370). Diff cover plus gear motul fluid/Spl diff solid bushing that i then replaced with whiteline poly
(70). 3 extra motul diff gear oil to reflush after break in
(98). whiteline poly bushing
(150). Z1 subframe collar
(1900) Motordyne shockwave
(155) Phillips X-treme Vision bulb
(114) K&N drop in filter
(140). Raceseng ahift knob
(260). Windows tint
(50). Dress up bolts

Which puts me over 10k at the moment and im not even close halfway through my build. This puts me over 50k already including the car plus mod. Im at the brand new supra territory now and im starting to second guess myself. I value your opinion and thanks in advance.

The Z is just a better car, period.

Back on topic though, you’re just at the tip of the modding iceberg. Look at my mod list in my build thread, and I still want Hotchkis sway bars, endlinks, headers, cams, seats, throttle bodies, ported lower intake manifold, and a retune.

But I wouldn't say tires, brake pads, other consumables as mods, because they may get more expensive on other platforms and you will be needing to change them.



Also, the 370z is a more refined car compared to 86, I drove both, I drove both stock and modified, stock 370z is more capable compared to 86, you only needs to get camber in front to unleash its potential, the alignment is very conservative specially front, on other hand, I would agree 86 will make you push your skills, but it doesn't give exciting feeling when I drive it.

If i recall i said z is on par with 86 (in terms or handling) if not better. There is no way on hell that i insinuate that the 86 is better otherwise, i would still own it. Thing about opinion is evrybody got one and i said the 86 will make a person a better driver but in no way did i say that an 86 owner drives better than a z owner so i dont know where all these ideas are coming from. Yes, im bitching about 10k because i dont have an unlimited funds. If you could afford a 10k coilover, good for you. Heck, im even happy for you that you can afford all those expensive wheels and items. I wosh i could do the same but in reality, i cant. Hence i am asking dor advice so i dont fall deep into the rabbit hole.

Lol I hope you weren't wearing a 5- or 6-point harness when you got that "exciting feeling." I imagine that could quickly turn into an entirely different sort of feeling.

It may help with that, but there's no band aid fix for the fact that the internal seals on the CSC are plastic, and they're a ticking time bomb whether you swap the pedal or not. Always have the cost of a HD CSC and tranny R&R (plus potentially a new clutch if it gets soaked with fluid) in your savings account.

You can add spc toe bolts if you don't want to spend midlink money, but they prone to slipping, this is what I did when I had oem style coilovers. Luckily didn't buy midlink as I went truetype lately.

I heard about the recall i also spent a good fortune on that car. I could have had a gtr by now if i pour those money plus with what i spent with the 370z but i have no regrets so far just second thoughts

You can save your allotted window tint and diff cover money in finding a different exhaust like Greddy, Fast Intentions, or HKS. Do as you wish as it is your car and money, but the Motordyne is priced pretty lofty considering there's no benefit to it over the aforementioned names. I'd even argue the quality is better across the board, but that's likely splitting hairs. Point is you can get equal or better quality for a solid $600 less if you're on the brink of busting the budget, or just have it to put elsewhere.
