Any Upgrades that don't break the bank
 
Hello! Are there any upgrades out there that show a noticable difference that don't cost an arm and a leg? I love upgrading and all but paying money for things that don't do to much really sucks:rofl2: Thanks!

theDreamer 09-10-2014 03:06 PM

Define break the bank, over 1/2/3k?
Also, show a noticeable difference, is this performance or looks?

Arrvaxx 09-10-2014 03:07 PM

Define 'arm and leg'. Nothing that you can do and will feel is cheap.

*Edit: Damn you theDreamer!

You can do the exhaust washer mod. Purposely create an exhaust leak to get a deeper sounding exhaust note. But in all seriousness, all upgrades are expensive.

Consider this thread hijacked! Sorry OP!

Trying to help though...

Most of us start with catbacks but those aren't 'cheap'. You should get highflow cats as well but again... $.

Get a tune if you don't have a Nismo. That will get you 20hp but, you guessed it... $.

Stillen Gen 3-ish intakes add a little more hp.

For cornering get a set of Swift lowering springs. Fantastic value. I need coilovers but will miss mine I know.

You can also get front sways that will help.

The fact is that a Z is a pretty good all around sports car...and is a V6 on top of it.

To really make any movement you need a supercharger or better but more expensive...twin turbo. Supercharger for autocross and daily. Twins for drag racing and track. IMHO.

How much do clear bra's cost and are they worth it?

Motionmagic 09-10-2014 03:59 PM

Here you go. Shop till you drop.................

Lingerie, Bras, Panties and Corsets

SmokeEater27 09-10-2014 04:12 PM

The cheaper mods I can think of would probably be; Wheel Spacers, LED license plate lights, Interior LED lights, Shift knob, Tint, GT-R Start button, and theres probably a few more I just cant think of any others. For power you unfortunately "gotta pay to play" or you can buy second hand items off here.

Also, show a noticeable difference, is this performance or looks?

Well, I'm leaning tawrds a mixture of both. Meaning I am going to be do the obvious "look" upgrades such as black door handles, window tint, darken the boot lights a little, interior LEDs, and a few decals for added horsepower (;

As far as performance goes, I am definitely getting some lowering springs (I'm thinking Tein or Swift; not sure yet) anddddddddddd thats about all I know I'm forsure getting :rofl2: Thats what I'm hoping this thread will help me with. And to answer your original question, I have about 1,500 to spend on performance and 500 to spend on looks (My parents are already buying me an Amuse Body Kit so I won't need to spend too much on looks). Sorry for the long response, I can be quite wordy at times lol.

I can't imagine rolling into a car meet with that :rofl2: I'd have to lock the engine bay to make sure noone goes snooping for the supposed "turbo" that some would believe I possesed. Thanks for time spent responding to the thread though! I will admit you got me to rewatch all their videos again :tiphat:

We actually talk about how to manage them in the workplace. Parents are always involved or meddle in.

Me, the only thing I got from my parents were lots of guidance, a college degree, great advice, asthma, hypertension, and bunions.

Im buying the car with my own money and as a gift my parents are buying me a body kit. So I told em' I wanted an Amuse Kit:tiphat: I am 16 by the way which is why my parents are still involved in my life. Cars being a big part of it.
