[Official] Which 1st mod(s) for my Z thread.

[Cafiax]

im in the same boat as you sir! Recently got my new Z and been struggling to pick the correct first mod but I've decided on Fast Intentions HFC and CBE. Best bang for buck to make the car that much more fun to drive! Twin Turbo should come later on LOL unless your rich then just get it all! woooO!

Definitely the clear bra! then a radar detector

CBE, intake, springs, coil-overs, spacers, wheels, tires, HFC, LTH, pulleys, fuel gauge overlay, GT-R start button, short shifter, shift knob, chassis braces, drilled rotors, brake fluid, brake pads, illuminated kick plates, rear fog light, rear-view camera, grounding kit, Nismo radiator cap, open lugs, swaybars.

My mods were done in the following order:

1st Mod: Springs, spacers, rear toe camber kit.

2nd Mod: Nismo Shift Knob, Red GT-R Button.

3rd Mod: Drilled & Slotted Rotors w/ Metal Matrix Pads, Front Blast Guard Removed.

4th Mod: CBE

5th Mod: Nismo Rims

And my next mod plan is not much of a mod but to get Nitto NT05 tires and Tein Super Street coils.

That's a lot for a first mod.

If you make that the first and only mod, you're set for life!

Yup, they should call that the "Set for Life First Mod Package"

More like the "almost set until you go turbo" mod package.

What the Hell, just add the TT kit in there too. And voila, you've equaled the cost of the mods to the cost of your car (if not more). Our job here is done, lol.

This is what I did first. Seal it up while your paint is still perfect!

My "mod" takes into consideration that the OP does not want cosmetic mods and he is trying not to void his warranty.

I have the Agency Power exhaust and love it.

Black/white Paint scheme to make it look like a Japanese Police Car.

Definitely get a clear bra while you have low mileage, especially in a black car. Springs + spacers are a nice improvement for roughly $500 and make the car look great also. And as others have said, this car is tame and needs exhaust! I'd definitely looking into Injen or G3 intakes for some nice power to go with the exhaust.
