You can do a JWT Popcharger and Ztube combo, provides a small gain and changes the sound a bit and isn't that expensive.

Engine Torque Damper - $60Grounding Kit - $150??Intake - $80-$250 (depending on what you do)Plenum Spacer - $100-250 (depending on the spacer you get)Exhaust - lots of options and varied costsSuspension -

Z-Tube for starts - then drop-in K&N or replace the airbox....Call around to your local NISSAN dealers and see if they have any Z-Tube take-offs. My local NISSAN dealer had NISMOed a couple of new Z's with CAIs. So, they had the Z-Tubes that they took off back in the Parts Dept.I paid $15 for one. New, they are around $85?? Sometimes, you can find they for sale in the classifieds

Most mods in my sig would apply to you. Don't worry about the fan conversion though. You should be fine with that.

Its the 5AT, is the z tube, the intake hpse that connects to the air box/filter? does any of these effect the warranty?

i would like to spend less then 300 for any mods i might do (im going to put a large payment on the car with my tax money)

Another question this guy that works at BMW told me in order to change spark plugs and to remove the valve covers you have to drop the engine. that cant be right. is it?

Do you have a Ford 409 or is it 406, maybe a 427?

The Z-tube replaces the restrictive tube between the air filter and the throttle body. The G35 has sound reducing baffles that the 350Z doesn't. It will not void your warranty...just be careful not to drop the MAF sensor as it's fragile.

Nope...don't listen to any BMW guys! There is only 2 plugs that are tricky to get that will make it a 30-min job, instead of a 10-min job.

Check out the G-series FAQ for more info (link in my sig).
