Welcome to NICO. Dont forget to read the "350Z FAQ and General Information.". And please post a pic of your car in your signature or sign in thread.

Now on the engine upgrade are you looking for turbo/supercharger type of increase or simple exhaust/CAI improvements? If you are starting on a budget try the Cold Air intake systems and an exhaust. Good luck and post up your pics.

Nismo for the HR. Won't affect the warranty at all, and you'll see a nice performance increase. Welcome to Nico oh and Don't let having an automatic stop you from doing anything. Auto's run the quarter faster than the manuals Oh and i love the screen name, made me LOL.

Well if selling it is not an option, Than for exhaust options i have noticed the Nismo with TP sounds very nice People like the HKS.... If you got the money to do it than Amuse looks as sexy as it sounds... What kind of budget we looking at?

thats a pretty big budget! CAI run from $180-$300. I could do a lot with $3k... lucky

Well what do you mean by what will it do? Like HP wise... if so it all depends you could see maybe upwards of 8hp, Now a CAI if your are looking to get one and what kind to get, I would say go with the JWT Popcharger, Looks nice and never really had any problems with it, Even though it is an intake

Nice, well if you got money to spend you should get some coilovers or springs if on a tighter budget, It will give your car a better stance. Look good as well
