Pullin the trigger on a few upgrades, reps for responses!

Ditto on the handling mods. I've put an H&R rear anti-sway bar on several of my cars, and am thinking of it for the Z, given the understeer I feel.

Great choice of parts. Thats the same set-up I'm going with except I'm doing non-resonated test-pipes, but thats because I wanna wake up my neighbors LOL. O and dont forget the Tune man!!! Got to tune the car after all those goddies to A) Make it run safely and B) Get the most out of all the money your spending. I also plan on getting a Oil Cooler with the Thermostat, I have had my temps over 260 a few times soooo. I would also go with the Stillen Pulley. I have see real gains from Vids on that part. I also dont really like UnderDrive Pullies.

Good Choice but Tune that Sh**

I think you would be better off with HFC's cause you never know where you will get stuck next! Plus you will like the sound better with HFC's over the test pipes. They are raspy and cause cabin drone. Have you looked into Berk? Z1 is really good. They hooked me up with shipping to my APO here in Germany. Ask them for a military discount

I though about tuning but apparently it completely voids the warranty, is it unsafe to not tune it?

flashburn

It can be unsafe if you are running lean, and if you are running HFC's, non-stock CAI, and CBE, you could be.

As for the warranty... if you get either Cobb or Uprev you can simply uninstall it before you go in and that will remove any traces of it.

I had no idea, is that confirmed btw? Will they really not be able to tell at all and in turn not be able to rail me when I come in with a problem under warranty?

flashburn

Yeah, plenty of people have said that Nissan doesn't keep track of things like say BMW does. You'll be fine.

If you are going to be putting all of those bolt-ons on at once you might want to consider a Tune, to make sure you A/F ratio is good and you might get some bonus Hp

so there isnt a way to tell if the ecu was disconnected and reconnected at all, no seals or codes that need to be cleared upon install or something?

flashburn

Once you uninstall either product it looks the same as stock to Nissan. Not sure what you mean by the ECU being disconnected, as both of those products are software solutions and not ECU replacements. They simply replace the tune stored on the ECU.

well I feel dumb lol, thx for the input I think I might need to revise my list!

Juleous

I would also suggest the HFC give a hoot don't polute.

Have you thought about something other than the stillen G3? It would be nice to not have to remove the front to change filters.

Body kit? The Amuse Vestito kit is killer, how about the entertainment system?

USAFstevo

I did consider another intake however I wasnt able to find one with better power gains. I must say i like the amuse rear bumper but its a little to much money that i would rather put towards a supercharger. I havent realy put any thought into entertainment at all, any ideas?

Juleous

It all depends on what your looking for? If you havn't thought about it yet then IMO entertainment would be low on your list. There have been some good custom installs on this site but they all increase weight a bunch.

A spare tire enclosure with a single 12", change out the stock speakers and add a decent amp with a factory system integration like the Audison bit one signal processor and you would have great sound minimal interior mods, and minimal weight gain. Dynamat the interior greatly reduces road noise but also increases weight by about 20lbs for the entire car.

If you are looking to save a couple of bucks for some more upgrades. You can check out the DIY section and you can buy all the parts you will need for home built oil cooler set up. One of the members here did it and its working quite well. He listed all the parts you will need, where to buy them, and how to put it all together to make it work.
