"Silver Alloy Metallic"

If you were to upgrade the radio i would suggest a straight touch screen design (I have a pioneer). Many of the new aftermarket radios don't seem to flow to the interiors design and end up looking like complete rice.

FIrst mod you should probably look into would be the dual intakes, a friend of mine used injen and they sounded great. So i'll go with them.

But the best bang for the buck mod for the Z would be the 4.08 Gears (assuming you plan on staying n/a for a while)



While it doesn't really add horsepower, it allows you to rip through each gear quicker Drastically improving acceleration. What you gain in acceleration you sacrifice a bit in top end with the gears, but I don't think anyone in their right mind would top out in a 350z.

And since you have a base model like me these things work best paired with an aftermarket lsd.

Bt the way. I have both parts sitting in my garage, I have yet to get them installed.



Post some pics of your Z!

First, congrats on the new purchase and joining the Z Flock (Zee Flock?)!

Now make sure your tires and brakes are in order and join us at The Dragon on Labor day Weekend!

I've seen an adhesive vinyl from 3M that's availble in various finishes that could be used to completely cover your console. They make a carbon fibre one that looks great, look around on the web and find a vendor and request a test swatch.

You can't post directly to NICO, you need to host them someplace online and link them.How to post photos on NICO using PhotoBucket.

Slacker. Tell you what, even though I was going to go with a 3.9 final drive and I'd have to get different half shafts to use that Quaife I'll send PM you my address so you can send them to me. Then I'll put them in and tell you if they're worth the trouble.

First upgrade I did to my Z was the stereo. (This car is fast enough for this chick) I have the base model too. When they got in the back and tried to put speakers in where the grills are, they told me that there was sheet metal there and they couldn't install speakers. Don't know if that is true or if they just didn't want to bother running wires back there.

I would really like some speakers behind me. Don't know exactly what I'm going to do, but good luck. I got the JVC with the touch screen and they ran the iPod connector to my glove box and wired it to my steering wheel controls. Love it. I could even change the background color to match the orange of my gauges.

wanna sell the touch screen?

I love that my Z has the more powerful HR engine, it really steps it up. Can someone post some ideas about seats?how much for custom bolstering and leather just for the two ? any guesses?
also who makes racing seats, BRIDE? b/c the stock ones are just okay.

ALSO what kind of tuners are out there i.e. handheld re programers and such, for LSD is the Quaife the way to go for LSD? COLD AIR NISMO?


sry not edited well, quick thanks
