First off, I will be getting a 2008 Glacier Pearl 350z

And I was wanting to do a few modifications:

My goal with this car is a daily driver, but I want to take it to the track and have some fun. So I want to upgrade a bit of power and a bit of suspension if possible.I was wondering where parts are available for a 2008 350z, i've googled and most kits and parts are for the 2003-2006 350z's. I was thinking of going either supercharger or TT.

I read the FAQ and "Building you 350z" thread. How much can the stock internals handle?

And I was also thinking of going NISMO parts, just to help keep the warranty, but I can't find 2008 350Z nismo parts.

What kind of power would i be looking at on stock internals? and where can I get the internals upgraded?

After doing more research I found there isn't a commercial kit available yet, but GReddy will be making one.

I was thinking custom test pipes and a CAI. should I get a tune after this? and will it kill warranty?

Your asking for alot. If you want it both ways just buy a NISMO. Because what will happen is the more you change on a stock Z, the worst you will be getting away from the daily driver of it. A NISMO comes with suspension, HP, etc. I bought the Grand Touring with every available option because I wanted luxury and track capabilities. I also use it as a daily driver and I love it. I have taken it to the track and it handles great. If I were to do anything to it would be to try to get a bit more torque for faster launch. Good luck and let us know by posting a pic of your new car.

Will do when I get the car

Yeah I just want a little more power out of the car, while I rebuild my 240SX

I was looking at perhaps a supercharger for the car, just to get a little more boost out of it. What are some supercharger kits I could look at?

so far for the HR's there is no turbo or supercharger kit out yet.There aren't many upgrades besides intakes,exhaust,test pipes.Suspension wise i haven't found anything either but other than that, the HR internals are much stronger than the DE's internals and can hold more.As for looking for NISMO parts,go to thenismoshop.com or mynismo.com.They will have some NISMO parts available for the HR motors.Good Luck with the Z...
