I am about to have a CBE amongst other things installed, but my favorite, first, less-expensive upgrade so far has been a performance clutch/flywheel.

K&Ns are a no brainer.

Wheels and suspension first............... ALWAYS!!! Who cares about going fast if your not looking good while your doing it, besides, you already bought a performance car in the Z itself, it's not like you bought a Civic and wanna go fast and depending on your previous cars a Z is pretty quick out the box for most.

My Z is quick for sure! Let's see, my last 3 rides were:
PT Cruiser
Nissan Rogue
Honda Civic

wheels/lowered/exhaust for sure.

wheels and lowered will make your Z stand out from the standard ones, and exhaust is a given, stock exhaust is just not suited to a sports car, first time my niece's dad was like awesome car! start her up and let me have a listen, it was basically silent haha.

Now it sounds like a real sports car!

Dealer has them! They gave em to me for free! (kinda fudged my warranty to do it) I put them in myself! (it took about 30 seconds lol)

kenchan · 07-02-2015, 07:41 AM

I thought chops was selling those clear rubber shoes to improvise?
Check the FS section.

BlackZeda · 07-02-2015, 09:28 AM

Speaking of a no-brainer, I just ordered a RJM Clutch Pedal System.

It seems like a very reasonable upgrade.

Thank you sir... I will be doing this to fix my bouncy hatch!

I heavily modded my last car but my Roadster is so nice stock, there is not a lot I want to do to it.

However, I am addicted to modding so...

1- Hood struts. Why, oh, why did Nissan not go with these stock. I really dislike that silly prop bar.
2- Windows tinted.
3- I just ordered wheel spacers. HR 20 front and 25 rear. I am waiting for them.
4- Blacked out front and back emblems.

I think there really is not any "best mods" and seeing as everyone is different, you should go with what you want. Only you could know that.

Oh and welcome to Z land!

KamiSpeed · 07-02-2015, 02:05 PM

Swift Spec R + SPL Rear Camber Arms + SPC Toe Bolts
20mm DRS + 25mm DRM H&R Spacers

Boom you should be set for a bit!

After that, maybe an exhaust

Joey o · 07-02-2015, 04:35 PM

Learn how to keep it clean and swirl free! Adamspolishes.com and see "the junkman" in the detailing section. Then...lower it, get spacers and cat back exhaust.

How about start modding with this for $20 open up the throttle of your Z all the way to your husbands bank account.
