Tires front sway double din clearbra

It has a viscous LSD, not a real one.

If it's my money, I'd suggest an oil cooler, sway bars, springs and camber kit f&r. Then add your choice of cat back.

Oil cooler, tune and a 75 shot of nitrous should suck up that $2500.00 in no time at all, plus for straight line speed this will be your best bang for the buck.

[QUOTE=LAVA;3074426]Yea, is it safe to run without a tune for a while? The only tuner in my area charges $800 + the uprev, so if possible I'd like to wait until after I buy more mods

So far I do have all the bolt on intakes,HFC and full Exhaust minus the motordyne 370. Im running without a tune for 27k miles now.

But once I install the manifold i'll go for the tune with it.

Its wise to get all your bolt ons in place then have a tune.

Btw I run a stillen light weight pulley as well.

sport already has a LSD, thx though:tiphat:... they make a huge difference

I would really research on your options when it comes to tuning. Cost all depends on what route you go. You don't nessessarily have to take it to a tuner.
Enjoy whatever mods you go with.:tup:

I like the idea of an oil cooler, links or brand plz.
I will most likely wait for Clutch/flywheel combo since I have such low mileage and it's such an involved install.
More info on tilton slave plz.

Our Z's csc is susceptible to failure. The Tilton slave is among a few upgrades out there. This plus a clutch/flywheel set can be had for about 1400 at Specialty Z.

There are other options out there than the Specialty Z that are just as good and cost less. Look at Zspeed. It's what I would have done if I had to do it all over again.

those bolt on's don't demand a tune, your stock ecu will be fine and can adjust... especially if you want to do more then wait until your bolt ons are complete. (ie no point in CBE, tune, intakes tune)

why not save that money? must it be spent? if so then what are you looking for in your upgrade? speed? handling? both?

or maybe even invest into a track driving school to learn more.

if you plan on taking your car to the track, on top of fluids you'll need to change your pads and possibly a break cooling kit.

long tube headers ~$1300
tune ~$500
oil cooler ~$400
springs ~$300

TOTAL = ~$2500

you will then have added power, handling, & made some stuff more reliable

Elmo370z 01-07-2015 11:07 AM

Or go with a custom intake manifold, 09+ maxima throttle bodies, and custom 3 inch intakes. 2,500 will make for a good start

JARblue 01-07-2015 11:55 AM

Get a 34 row oil cooler and a tune... if you get any other breather mods, get the tune after those are installed. Consider Ecutek over Uprev.

Lots of cosmetic or performance options with the remaining $1000-$1500. Lots of good ideas have been mentioned. Rotors and brake pads are good upgrades - the sport caliper are solid for anything other than full on racing. Do your research and tailor your choices to your usage for the car :driving:

FLUJOKE 01-07-2015 12:00 PM

FI exhaust, Gen 3 intakes and UPREV tune w $200 to spare.

I recommend use redline 5w 30 synthetic oil for your engine.
Redline MT-85 for manual tranny and redline differential fluid.
Read T can recommend other brand. Motul is also a good brand.
Z1 oil coolers is more than adequate it has the setrab core.

I have a 25r z1 oil cooler and run redline fluids, and PFC clutch/brake fluid. If you track it you will probably spend ~500 on registration for a weekend, ~200 for pads, ~200 for rotors.

GTR fluid is good, but I wouldn't track on it. Plus before you go to any track you'll want to change for fresh fluid anyways.

This suggestion is way better I think. But that's if he can find a tuner for that price. OP is being gouged on the price of a tune. 8 bills plus uprev he says.

ka24king 01-07-2015 04:33 PM

Do a full aero kit or do suspension or wheels and tires. Either way stick to one area or your car is going to stay feeling stocking even though you just through a good amount of cash into it
