chitown1863 · 03-03-2010, 05:06 PM

So...I've had my Z for 3 weeks now and I've done some research on different modification but what do you think the best first mod is???

labk888 · 03-03-2010, 05:19 PM

I haven't gotten my 370z yet... but that is my intended plan.

1) Clear Bra
2) Tint
3) Wheels
4) Oil Cooler

today, i parked next to a black mercedes-benz e55 that had a clear bra on it.
i don't like the lines and how the clear bra area doesn't shine like the area without it.

This is a timely post. I am thinking about a CAI or Exhaust as a next mod. The ideal of course would be both. So am I understanding correctly that between the two an exhaust would be the most significant upgrade?

you'll get chips all over the car, you're never completely invulnerable. Not a fan of the clear bra because the paint underneath can sometimes be preserved while the area not covered will fade under the sun resulting in a two tone hood/fender area. Its particularly prevalent on black and red cars.

0, sorry!!!!

Intakes are always a nice (cheap way) to add some power and noise. As for HP gain for the money... a less restrictive exhaust plus tune should yield close to 15rwhp. Exhausts are always a good thing!

And yes clear bras are key!

Do you think the best way to have the tires not break loose when shift from first to second in a race is to get larger tires/rims? I've tried changing gears at different RPM's but still...

Red370 · 03-03-2010, 05:52 PM

Ok, gonna give it to you straight, so far, the cheapest and best bang for the buck is High Flow Cats, and I dont think anyone will disagree, the ERZ's are the cheapest around, and im sure offer the same performance as the Berks/FI ones, mine netted 15whp, got the Berks from someone here for $300, 15whp for $300? F-in steal buddy. And yes, my dyno sheets are posted.
