:yum:

This is only my plan, hope I can work this out!!!

How about your ideas W/pics please

Those Brembos are sweet! What are the details on those?

sorry I don't have details, it's just what I want :driving:

and how about you, have any plans:pics:

OK, so let me get this straight...

You want a set of $6,000 Brembo Race 6-Pot Race Ready brakes and then you want to put Konigs on the car? Then you want to replace the Bose sound system with Alpine units?

I'm a little confused..

All the power to you if you get those brakes, they are worth like 20% of the price of the car. I think they might be a bit more for these motorsport ones...like closer to 10k...

Like I said, it’s only plans.
Now I don't know exactly how much these toys will cost, I'm checking and researching as we speak.
Also brembo have many versions with different prices and used kits are everywhere so hopefully I'll be able to get them.
The wheels are what I like; maybe I can't even fit them on....
Not going to remove the bose but more likely to add on the new system!
I'm researching....:icon17:
I hope this stlye isn't that bad!!haha:tup:

maybe you can get some StopTechs or something instead of Brembos

Before you blow some serious cash on brakes check out the stock brakes on the 370Z. They actually look like they will do a good job.

On the wheels.....come on now....Don't do that to a Z!! Not even dealing with aesthetics.....performance wise those wheels look like they weigh a ton!!

Can't blame you for wanting to change the stock radio..."BLOSE" really sucks!!!


Just my 2c

get Volks Racing rims, b/c they are light and good looking, don't waste money on Brembos, get an exhaust and intake instead !!!

For now, I just plan on doing:

Base 370Z w/Sport Package 7AT
Color: Silver
Nismo Suspension
Nismo Exhuast
Volk CE28N1b's - Gun Metal
Mild lip kit (Carbon Fiber hopefully)
Engine Tune (Cobb maybe)?

Of course, if Nissan drops a Nismo version, that may change everything!!

^^ Cobb AP was just released for the G37 recently

Those rims are ugly lol and 370 already comes with a bbk unless your trying to get turbo or the base package with no bbk then you should get the brembo.

it makes sense to get big huge brakes if you got turbo, if not....what's the point......

want to stop in a split second.....lol

No, just want to give people riding with me whiplash!!!

Yeah! I saw that!! Very cool. About your comment on the Brembos, I also like them IF they really do reduce the upsprung weight by 12 pounds. That is a nice loss!

Ohh I just seen your system that you want to set up not a good idea. Please just start off with a new plan look around the forum you'll find alot of good ideas not trying to put u down or anything. Konig rims are cheap you want somthing little more high end you'll be driving a 370z brand new car im sure it deserves better. Save up and get volks, racing hart, Iforged, 360 forged, DPE, D2autosports even came out with their own wheels, HRE's. Do it!

well, the cost of the Brembos can give you an intake (around 500 for a good one), an exhaust (ranges from 800-2000) depends on what you want and you'll still have cash left over to buy nice rims with rubber !!!!!

^^ I hear you. I would not do the Brembos UNTIL my 'standard' brakes gave out. That would probally be quite some time as I have had my RX8 for 2 1/2 years and am still very much in the green on brake status. I just do not drive that much, but when I do I like good braking.

From what we have heard, the standard brakes are quite good.

Speaking of intakes, why isn't Nismo doing an intake???

^no idea...lol...maybe because there's many aftermarket intakes already available for the G37 which could be slightly altered to fit the Z

:confused: :confused: :confused: :icon14: :confused: :confused: :confused:

my set up when i get the new z34

1. Greddy twin turbo kit
2. New wheels 19" with fat *** lip
3. Endless brake kit 6 piston in front n' 4 piston in rear with braided brake lines
4. 5% tints all around
5. Twin plate clutch by Clutch Master
6. Greddy evo II exhaust

so far that it, cant think of nething else off my head
what u guys think of that set up?? good??

DANG! Nice! Make sure you post pics!!

My personal opinion after “modding” few cars in the past is that it never really "improves" the car in any way. In your case, the 370z already is equipped w/ 14.0-in vented disc; 13.8-in vented disc, ABS; and 19" forged aluminum wheels.
Instead, it'll affect the geometry of the car negatively. Therefore what most of us end up doing is essentially downgrading our cars, especially when it comes to 370z.
Nissan has put millions of dollars & many yrs of RD into the 370z, just like the 350z and therefore it does not need any "modification" from us.
Enjoy the car as it was meant to be enjoyed by genius engineers at Nissan and you will not regret it.

my .02 cents

That is almost my exact set-up on my '05, and big reason why i will not change over just yet. :driving:

So what would putting just larger tires do to the car's geometry??

^^
larger diameter = slightly, really slightly better mileage......hahahaha

Hopefully brembo will offer a front and rear setup for their BBK this time around.

If I get a 370Z, I'd mod it just like any other car. Suspension, exhaust and wheels then some type of mild aero kit. For suspension, I'd look at KWs or Bilsteins first, then the JDM offerings.

the KW V3's on the G37 was a big hit compared to all the other coil overs

KWs may not be the most track oriented setup, but they always seem to be popular regardless of the car. For myself though, the V2s would probably be sufficient.

You are evil... What about wider?

^^ wider doesn't really matter, as long as you got no rubbing issues.....

Cool. THX my neighbor to the North!!

Your .02 cents, is absolutely correct! All I want is tint on the rear windows!

Yes, the thing is Konigs are crap and those brembos you chose are very high end, very expensive racing units. Really, add more speakers to a bose system?

Blose? Bose makes excellent high quality speakers.

Yes, they do reduce the weight quite a bit.

$500 intake? lol gold plated?

The Z is MAF based for the intakes. Using an altered version of something thats probably already not good for the car is probably not the best idea for airflow.

Lol off the top of my head I can think of like 30 things you are missing. Here's a list that ttz recommends to buy along with the greddy TT for the Z.

* Greddy TT Kit with FMIC ($5995)
* Profec E01 Boost Controller ($505)
* 1 Step Colder Copper Spark Plugs ($40)
* WB Sensor ($500)
* (2) E01 External Hanesses ($40)
* E-Manage Pressure Sensor Harness ($30)
* Crawford Cats ($450)
* Crawford Plenum ($395)
* Crawford Strut Bar ($175)
* Walbro 255 ($120)
* Aeromotive 1:1 FPR ($129)
* Fuel Return Lines ($20)
* Borla True Dual Exhaust ($675)
* Turbonetics Waste Gate Gaskets ($20)
* JWT Clutch ($400)
* JWT Flywheel ($400)
* JWT Oil Pan Spacer ($100)
* E-Manage Timing Harness and rectifier diodes ($50)
* Greddy Type S BOV ($60)

Total Hardware: $10104
Total Labor: $3000
Grand Total: $13104

Thats how much it would cost you to do things right. That doesn't even include internals which would be another $6,000 at least with a block and heads.

I partially agree that many people manage to completely ruin cars. However, mods can be good for the car's performance as well. While you are right that Nissan spent millions on R&D you also have to think about the fact that Nissan had to target a whole bunch of different audiences and that they had to meet all sorts of regulations. That means that their design has to be in some ways limited and not as good as it can be. Therefore mods can make the car better for each individual, depending on what they want.

Except its the opposite. More rotational mass means more energy required to spin the wheels means more fuel.

There you go, thanks for adding some sense to this thread.

People think they should add power first and then do everything else later. Thats a huge mistake...

500 b/c it's dual intakes...lol...or something

injen and JWT cost around the same...i think..lol




and the bigger wheel thing, that's not entirely true....depends how big you go, like an inch bigger doesn't make a big diff at all.

most ppl just get bigger rims, but smaller rubber to meet OEM specs

Wow some of you guys must be ballers....

Enjoy and learn the car in stock form first. Then I just want to drop it on some KW V3's or Bilsteins, complete front bumper replacement with hopefully a lower facia, save some money by reusing my current rims if they fit, breathing mods and tune thats it initially for mods.

Bolt on and drop in, add very little, if any performance.

Tire size calculator

Holly ghetto rims! Go get a Monte Carlo if you want to roll with those mad tyte wheels.

I never understood why people get a small, lightweight, purposed sports car and put tons of stereo equipment and nasty huge rims on them, kind of defeats the purpose.

I would like to strip the stereo right out and get lighter rims, strip out as much else as I can. Get a great suspension and great tires and I will be set, perhaps some light N/A mods for 310-320whp?

I'll get an accord or TSX for a comfy cruiser with good audio.

^ i dont know about ripping everthing out lol.... But yea ugly rims, who ever puts rims on this forum like that should be banned lol.

Drop ins
Exhaust
Nismo Suspension Kit.
15% Tints all around
Front Lip
:)

You hating on people about getting big rims and audio for there STREET car makes about as much sense as you buying DAILY DRIVER sportscar, striping everything out turning it into an uncomfortable, unstreetable racecar and then have to go spend more money and buy a DAILY DRIVER. :ugh2:

I respect your opinion on rims size but the rest of your post is plain silly as a retort to dub audiophiles. You need to pass the 370z and buy a Lotus Elise or Exige. Lotus left nothing for you to rip out, it comes with a great suspension and tires and much better power to weight. Or you can do what you want with your 370z and let other people do what they want with theirs :tiphat:
