Poll: How long before you modded?
Just curious
|
1st mod within a week were test pipes, month later CBE, then 6months TT kit.
|
I was pretty good... I waited several months before buying my B&M shifter and it was 7 months before I bought my exhaust.
I think it's good to enjoy the car stock for a little while. It's funny when I took everything off the car to trade it in I found that I really enjoyed it stock more than I did with the exhaust and intake on it! |
Picked up the car on April 1st. Berk HFC's installed April 20th. I've done at least something to the car each month since.
I might be addicted now. All I can think of is what to do next. From the smallest things (rear fog light) to the big stuff (forced induction). It's hard to save for the big stuff when I still have so many small things that I want to do. |
First mods were from delivery, Lit sills and clear bra, window tint. Next was Gen II Stillen CAI and grounding kit, within 4 weeks....
HFC's came about 7 months later and CBE about a month after that! Back up camera kit this weekend, and many many many more to come I am sure! |
700 miles on the clock and have fitted EVO-R CF Fang a few weeks ago and last weekend fitted a Akrapovic EVO exhaust :tup:
|
You mean you're supposed to eventually stop? :facepalm: :rofl2: j/k
I'm still going strong 1 1/2 years later.....started about 1 month into possession of the blue Z. |
Mine was done right at PDI when it rolled off the truck.
|
I anticipate I'll fall in the 7 - 12 month range. At 5 weeks old, I'm still enjoying stock
|
Less than 2 weeks. Stock suspension and exhaust kills me.
|
I did the badges within the first month and the spacers and auto dimming mirror at about 1 year.
Hoping for something different for the wheels and exhaust this coming year :) |
i had LED's/6K HID installed on day 2-ish. full clear bra the same week, then HFC's a month later
|
Off the dealership lot and straight to the tuner shop.
|
Probably about a month.
Tinted the windows, swapped out the front Nissan badge, installed the Ipod gateway, little stuff. Then had to stop for a while to save/get the front lip (which is hopefully being installed in a couple of weeks!) |
Nearly two months before I even purchased a Z I had parts ordered!
(Had the FI exhaust ordered in the first week of March and didn't buy my 370 until late April! ) |

My first modification was installing LED parking light bulbs a week or so after I got the car fresh off the lot. A week and a half later, I drove to Stillen and grabbed a set of sway bars. A couple days later, I drove to the 370zstore and got my Berk HFCs. 2 weeks later, I had my powdercoated Stillen G3 intakes on the car (took 2 weeks due to powdercoating).
After all that, I seem to average a new part/mod every couple weeks haha. Will I stop? Probably not, it is a disease for which there is no cure. |
I bought my white Sport/Touring from Danny at Fontana Nissan two days ago.
I'm getting my Invidia Gemini catback installed by Amplified... well, as soon as Lou sends me an email telling when to come in. Tomorrow, next week, as soon as he can. Windows tinted next week. After that I'm going to enjoy the car in mostly-stock form for awhile. |
bought the car in January. First was exhaust then intake and then wheels. Ten months later on fourth set of wheels and going with second body kit. It is addicting? you tell me.
|
With my black Z, I purchased the S-Tune wing, S-Tune exhaust, and got windows tinted within 2 weeks of owning it. Within the year I got the FI exhaust, HFCs, and got the headlights done.
With my Blue Z, I had everything swapped over within a week, and got some carbon fiber goodies and window tint :) |
I'd like to say prior to taking delivery because I was on this forum for a couple of months before picking up my Z and I had already decided on the rear fog light and Fast Intentions exhaust... both of which I ordered four days after getting the car.
I got it tinted within 72 hours. |
after a few months. Just ordered the ARK exhaust. If I had money I would buy more things for my Z. Next mod will be suspension.
|
Does tint count? I did it about 3 week after I got the car. Than 6 months after, intake and then the rest.
Just waiting a bit now til I get a set of wheel/tire, coilover and oil cooler and than I'm done.... Hopefully santa is on this forum...I can sure go for those parts now. |
i modded immediately after i lost my virginity.. Realized some things were meant to be changed and that no matter how great the creator or designer was, improves could still be made :).... yea i went to far lol
|
first mod was stickers :tup: a week later HKS hi-power exhaust, the next week shift knob and LED lights after a month test pipes and springs now waiting for my new wheels and seat railings :tiphat:
|
800 miles on the clock and I've already put on an exhaust.
|
4th day of having it and I lowered it, then added a front lip.
|
I don't remember exactly when but got my Windows tinted first within the first two months ... then all the lighting : White LED's inside n out, custom white Z kickplates, GT-R Start button, then some other small stuff.... and now i just got my Injen Catback True Dual Exhaust n Swift Springs and need to get Nismo rear bumper .. hope to have everything installed after Christmas : )
|
owned the car for 3 days before i got tint and then 3 days after that i got intakes.
|
Ordered oil cooler about 6-8 weeks after purchase. If it were not for short block replacement, I would be further along with exhaust and more.
|
bought wheels, springs and sways while awaiting deliver of the car. Installed them after driving it home with 12 miles on the car.
