Desire1314's future modding list, suggestions needed

[Desire1314]

Ok so its taken me about half a year to decide on what exactly i want to do with my car. I am hoping to do most of this when spring comes, if not, then summer time.

Exterior -I'm planning to go with Stillens full lip kit including the lip spoiler.-Can't forget the C-mod grill either.-LBC's GTR style tailight overlay.-Debadging the Altima and 3.5SE V6, but gonna leave the Nissan burger on.

Suspension-I decided on the Eibach pro kit spings.-As for strut bar, still can't decide on Stillen or Racingline. I've heard both works just as good, although Racingline will be much cheaper than Stillens, but I think Stillens looks better.-Endlinks maybe later.

Wheels -Volk Racing GT-S Top Secret Gold 19x8.5 +36 all around. -235/35/19 Bridgestone Potenzas Re960as.

Performance-I've finally decided to go with AEM's intake, even though it is the most expensive intake for our cars. I was really considering Takeda's retain intake, but I haven't heard enough feedback or reviews on them.-As for exhaust, still can't decide on this either. At first the NISMO sounded really good, but after a while, I didn't like how it sounded. Like, after you let off your gas, it makes this annoying sound.-For now, I am considering Artisans exhaust setup.-Racingline Y pipe and Stillen pulley can wait for now.-Short throw shifter??? Maybe later down the road.

Oh I also have SBD's grounding kit in red, but i lost it somewhere in the garage....so until i found it...

Interior is fine for now, hopefully Surman sticks around for a long time

I think i covered about almost everything for now. Feel free to give me any suggestions or anything I wanna hear from the Nico family

Looks like you've got it all figured out!

I'm still torn on the RacingLine vs. Stillen STB...RL's is cheaper, but Stillen's look better!

I'd suggest bumping the short throw shift kit up above the intake. You'll notice the shift kit much more. Nissan's factory airbox is pretty damn efficient as it is...

No, sir...not at all. Like phenom said, the only s*** beating the transmission takes is when you drive around like a meathead. The only thing that it affects is the length of travel of your stick.

I'd almost suggest opting for the exhaust system & y-pipe instead of the intake. I've heard a number of reports from non-koolaid sipping VQ owners that the intake hurt their performance somewhat. That being said, I'll always have an aftermarket intake on my vehicles because I love how bada$$ they sound! haha!

If you're considering the Artisan exhaust, you might also want to look into getting a custom setup built for you. Since the Artisan system is essentially straight pipes, you could probably build a setup that looks as good for half the price. I believe also heard (here in the forums) a number of months ago that the Nismo cat-back performed the poorest of all the systems available at the time...

2 Things,one this guy is selling his AEM intake zer...haust two, I would suggest better rubber, Brigdestones are crap on tread my brothers 350Z bridgestones are pretty bad

just putting my two cents, everything looks about rightgood luck with the modding

I also have a set of Falken FK452's, but they are 245's, and I honestly hate driving on wider tires. The potenzas will serve their purpose for now. I got a hell of a deal on them

Thanks for your input and letting me know about that intake for sale bro I don't check the black market that much on this forum, since the majority of all the stuff for sale here are for 240 owners.

I think you should add spacers to the wheel section . The front will flush but the rear you will need spacers if you want the flush look.

My set up for wheels is 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x8.5 +15 rear on 225/45 tires.
