Also brembo have many versions with different prices and used kits are everywhere so hopefully I'll be able to get them.
The wheels are what I like; maybe I can't even fit them on....
Not going to remove the bose but more likely to add on the new system!
I'm researching.... 
I hope this stlye isn't that bad!!haha  |
Yes, the thing is Konigs are crap and those brembos you chose are very high end, very expensive racing units. Really, add more speakers to a bose system?

On the wheels.....come on now....Don't do that to a Z!! Not even dealing with aesthetics.....performance wise those wheels look like they weigh a ton!!
Can't blame you for wanting to change the stock radio..."BLOSE" really sucks!!!
Just my 2c

Blose? Bose makes excellent high quality speakers.

Yes, they do reduce the weight quite a bit.

$500 intake? lol gold plated?

Lol off the top of my head I can think of like 30 things you are missing. Here's a list that ttz recommends to buy along with the greddy TT for the Z.
* Greddy TT Kit with FMIC ($5995)
* Profec E01 Boost Controller ($505)
* 1 Step Colder Copper Spark Plugs ($40)
* WB Sensor ($500)
* (2) E01 External Hanesses ($40)
* E-Manage Pressure Sensor Harness ($30)
* Crawford Cats ($450)
* Crawford Plenum ($395)
* Crawford Strut Bar ($175)
* Walbro 255 ($120)
* Aeromotive 1:1 FPR ($129)
* Fuel Return Lines ($20)
* Borla True Dual Exhaust ($675)
* Turbonetics Waste Gate Gaskets ($20)
* JWT Clutch ($400)
* JWT Flywheel ($400)
* JWT Oil Pan Spacer ($100)
* E-Manage Timing Harness and rectifier diodes ($50)
* Greddy Type S BOV ($60)
Total Hardware: $10104
Total Labor: $3000
Grand Total: $13104
Thats how much it would cost you to do things right. That doesn't even include internals which would be another $6,000 at least with a block and heads.

Instead, it'll affect the geometry of the car negatively. Therefore what most of us end up doing is essentially downgrading our cars, especially when it comes to 370z.
Nissan has put millions of dollars & many yrs of RD into the 370z, just like the 350z and therefore it does not need any "modification" from us.
Enjoy the car as it was meant to be enjoyed by genius engineers at Nissan and you will not regret it.

I partially agree that many people manage to completely ruin cars. However, mods can be good for the car's performance as well. While you are right that Nissan spent millions on R&D you also have to think about the fact that Nissan had to target a whole bunch of different audiences and that they had to meet all sorts of regulations. That means that their design has to be in some ways limited and not as good as it can be. Therefore mods can make the car better for each individual, depending on what they want.

Except its the opposite. More rotational mass means more energy required to spin the wheels means more fuel.

If I get a 370Z, I'd mod it just like any other car. Suspension, exhaust and wheels then some type of mild aero kit. For suspension, I'd look at KWs or Bilsteins first, then the JDM offerings.

There you go, thanks for adding some sense to this thread.
People think they should add power first and then do everything else later. Thats a huge mistake...
