Any Upgrades that don't break the bank

occarclub · 09-10-2014, 03:06 PM

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

Thanks!

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

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.
