Get intakes + exhausts.
Look in this subforum for good info: Intake/Exhaust - Nissan 370Z Forum

First off clear bra
Second exhaust- will give you preformance and let everyone you drive by know you not riding around stock.
Thrid oil cooler- did not look where you live and im on my phone and dont feel like going back. But if you want to track or live anywhere warm install oil coolers.
Fourth- intakes
Fifth- maybe something like rims or powder coat the ones you have and paint door handles, side markers and emblems to match.

For $100 you can get K&N replacement filters and then send me the rest

bloody hell, i thought it was going to be one of those crisis "omg my Z broke" threads

uhmmmm nismo221 has a good list. i'd flip intakes and wheels. intakes, in hindsight, are a monumental waste unless you do the whole airflow system then tune

Fastfatdude · 06-25-2011, 03:42 AM

I would get exhausts and a hihg flow cat...

agreed. i would leave intake for last as our stock system is already amazing. if anything just drop ins and hps tubes are

but otherwise, nismo221's list is on point. exhaust makes the car much more exciting

No one mentioned suspension. I would get a good coil over set.

kdo2milger · 06-25-2011, 07:43 AM

Same car as mine. Good choice.

1) Have the front bumper and hood treated for nicks and chips and then cover it with a ClearBra. $1000

2) Get Katzkins leather upholstery. Perforated black leather with tinge of red. They're beautiful. $1250

Other mods would be for performance---not my interest.

Berk high flow cats and cat back exhaust of choice, then Stillen CA intakes. That's gonna get you somewhere in the nieghborhood of 35 to 45 hp and leave plenty of coin for other other stuff.

Save a little more and just go FI and call it a day.
