New Car, wanted some advice....(350z)
 

Hey everyone, i finally got one of my dream cars, a 2003 chrome silver touring 350z after selling my turbo 2000 prelude. I have wanted this car for a LONG time (6years to be exact) and made the decision to take the plunge and go for it.

It has 80xxxkm, one owner (doctor who used it as weekend car), 6spd w/navi, leather and all the rest. Obviously had no mods or anything which i was really happy about and no accidents!!!.

I've begun the mod list, but things will be pretty basic as i just bought a condo also MORTGAGES SUCK!

So far, i have done JWT popcharger (sounds great), 5/16 motordyne spacer (makes a great difference), tinted taillights/rear turns/front corners

my next move will be exhaust+resonated test pipes and coilovers. Thats where i would love to have some "expert" advice. I have checked out THOUSANDS of sound clips, but the one i love the most is the Fast Intentions exhaust w/ test pipes. I think it does the best job of keeping the stock sound, but good performace gains and very deep during WOT. The resonated test pipes match up well with the exhaust and dont have any noticable RASP to them. Check out link for dyno sheets + sound clips

ANY THOUGHTS?!?!?!?

For suspension, i would love to get rid of the body roll and get a lower, crisper handling car. I was looking at a set of STANCE coilovers, but i do not have any experience with them. For $1400ish they seem like good bang for buck.

ANY THOUGHTS!??!?!

in the future, i would like to go with Veilside V1 lip kit and cobb accessport along with 06 LED taillights, a nice set of offset rims + sticky rubber, system with double din screen, window tint.

Thanks for reading, just wanted to share my excitiment with you all!!!!!!!

Come over the NIClub.ca or post in the nissan section for better answers


You can't go wrong with FI + test pipes

also for the coilovers most people go BC racing, now now there'll be tons of people hating no them but if you do get the stance, what are you using them for? there is a new line someone told me about the Stance LX, which can be had for less than $1000 USD. with shipping.

hope that helps

+1 For NIClub there are tons of modded Z's Over there, well the whole forum is mainly G35/37, Z32, and Z33 LOL

Pics of the car? :)

So far you've riced it out! :thumbsup:

so far i've riced out?! comming from CivicTypeRICE?!?!?! i love it.....
please dont let me snuff out your flame suit, keep it comming!

pics will be up soon, cant find my flippin camera

What's your goal? Is the car simply gonna be a daily a driver or do you auto-x/track as well?

1st - slam
2nd - some sexy wheels
3rd - riced out bodykit!

:p but 1 and 2 for sure

the car will be daily driven, but i'd love to hit up autox once in a while also!

"riced out bodykit" Reminds me of Konvict's 350z. :D

you're a douchebag for tinting your taillights and rear turn signals you know that?

I KNOW WHAT, ILL MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME TO KNOW WHAT MY INTENTIONS ARE.

^ lolol agreed.
also tinted taillights don't actually look that good...

Konvict music

:D

:haha::haha::haha::thumbsup:



i never understood this concept

people are trying to make their tailights brighter by switching to a gazillion LEDs
people are trying to change to HID bulbs so its brighter
yet some people wonna make others harder to see...dont get it

You could always use a mask or something similar that doesnt inhibit other's visibility, but he's gone with the tint lol, I've been debating whether to tint mine, but I haven't because RS will flame me XD

i personally like the hks exhaust for it.

as for suspension, the sky's the limit. almost every company out there makes something for it. if u can afford it, go kw.

wow, so from all the reply's i get 3 decent responses? RS is full of dicks now i guess. Before you go around calling someone a douchebag, why dont you ask a question like....what % tint are you running? 5% or 40% becuase in my case its 40% which is barely noticable. I did it because IN MY OPINION it looks good. Oh ya and btw, its MY CAR, MY MONEY SO FUCK OFF! if you dont have anything good to contribute dont post of this thread and if you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to PM me. I dont have time for your shit here when im actually trying to get some decent advice.

Thanks SG, i will check out KW.

Congrats on the new car! I like the sound of the tanabe medalion touring

The HKS sounds pretty sexy too

But thats just me, I personally like quieter exhausts

thanks!! i actually wanted the Tanabe until i heard the fast intentions in person.

The HKS might be the nicest looking one (other than amuse-ti), but it is a bit raspy for me.

get some eyelids

Hmm, I youtubed the fast intentions exhaust, I honestly still prefer the tanabe but like you said its your car

If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay/are you paying?

the exhaust w/ test pipes is aroudn 1500. The FI exhaust has very VERY good power results comparatvely

I say since you got everything tinted, go straight pipe

test pipe pretty much = straight pipe, no cats..

with the FI it does still have that G35 stock exhaust note. so if you like that go for it.

u can buy my 19" volks", they'll make ur car sexy haha
