hi guys,

 

thought id get a wee discussion thread going on the subject of everyones top ten mods to do to the 350z.

 

would be good for new zed owners for ideas on how to get started with modifying their zed

[Ricey]

Being as its the only mod I've done (until Dan gets his spanner out and whips his pop charger and slam plate off!!!).........stubby for the gangly OEM aerial!.

 

Doesn't sound major but even the missus said she thought it looked miles better

[s14akw]

must agree mate, oem looks ridiculous

[Greekman]

this thread will end up very 'interesting' again lol

 

a bit too general a subject m8. it would be better if you gave a budget and more info like road use, show car or track weapon etc etc.

[s14akw]

no i wanted to leave it open so that we are not always just discussing looks or power but we combine everyones different views on the possibilities for our zeds

[Greekman]

ok. does a body kit count as a single mod or several?

[Ricey]

Maybe best to keep a running list and approx cost as people suggest/agree with them. Then a newbie can keep track in case the thread does run off track

 

eg

1. Stubby for OEM aerial (s2000 is a pretty decent fit - mine cost about £12 off ebay)

[s14akw]

ok fair play mate, your inputs appreciated, when you back up this way for a trackday btw

now it has to be after your heavy winter

 

as for the mods...i love my aerial...and its signal. sorry

 

- Coilovers...i am running HKS hypermax sport 3 and they are fab!

- Amuse front bumper and chargespeed rear look the best imo

- after market exhaust and hi-flow cats for sound

- uprev all the way and a drop in filter (the last shouldnt count as a mod)

- full gt spec bracing kit. and i mean full. dont overlook the fender bracings. they are a must have

(spacers on stock rims shouldnt count as a mod)

 

now you look ok you sound fab and you go even better

 

and then the rest

- disks, pads, lines

- uprated anti roll bars

- lsd

- adjustable camber front and rear arms

- rear spoiler (you wont need a front one with the amuse bumper)

- side skirts

- alloys

- plenum spacer for pre-08 (ideally with the uprev and drop in filter)

- lightweight flywheel when new clutch is needed

- led rear lights

- post-08 headlights

- bride seats

- decent headunit and speakers

- nice dinky and heavy gear knob

- etc etc etc..............

2. Sell the Zed and get a GTR simples...

 

Seriously my verdict on best modification is.... er.... er.....

 

2. Motordyne XYZ pipe (can't remember the cost - or I chose to forget)

First mod I did was to get it professionally detailed.

[Husky]

blue i have red i dont but think would be good

 

in no particular order:

 

after market wheels (OR spacers on OEM)

good quality tyres

weekend DIY detailing

clear front reflectors

lowering

brakes upgrade

plenum spacer

driver training

dial colour change

aftermarket exhaust

[Ian]

Sooooo many to choose from

 

Steering wheel

Brides

Single exit

Supercharger

[JetSet]

Just 2 mods for me so far..

 

1 Nurrish SatNav

2 Nismo V1 Replica Rear Spoiler.

 

Next up in 2011 will be

 

3 Spacers

4 Rear Light Cluster

 

After that

 

Front Spoiler or Splitter?

Rear Bumper?

 

And that leads me to a quick question, are there any front bumpers other than the originals that have the headlight washer holes cut in them? My understanding is that its a legal requirement to have them on any car with HID lights, not sure if its an MOT requirement though???
