Default If money were no object...

This is a follow on from a thread I posted in another area. I think it is an interesting topic:

Assume we are talking independent of costs, what do you think are the best interior/exterior upgrades to make to your 370? What are the finest manufacturers, products, etc. I know I am considering making some changes to my Z, and I always prefer to shop from the top down. I'm sure I am not the only one who likes to do this.

Go crazy! Let us know, if you could anything, what would you do to your ride.

OEM Nismo (I currently am doing it)
Bride Stradia Japan Edition

And something I thought would be cool but never looked into is changing the black seat belts (3 point) to red somehow.

I believe there was a crowd sourced inspired Z that wasn't spectacular. A redo is v in order.

If money was no object -

Exterior - Amuse or Varis (Carbon fiber)
Interior - Bride, carbon fiber inner doors and suede (for the betches)

That would be my setup then i would still stick with the same wheels i have now, just 19x10 all around

Kind of a loaded question. It really depends on what you want your car to be used for. The best parts are going to be the ones you need to have. If you're into hitting the track for example, the best parts are going to be specific for racing. It's kind of pointless to install added weight and useless exterior mods if that's the case. For a car more for the street, you can get away with what looks and sounds the best to you. It's like looking at show cars at SEMA and comparing them to thier track specific counterparts. They can both be the "best" in thier respective purpose without sharing any specific aftermarket upgrade.

If I could build my Z up, regardless of cost, it would probably be setup for street and the occasional track use.

Engine: Built Engine w/GTM Twin-Turbo Kit & all supporting mods
Brakes: Stoptech 4-pistons
Powertrain: Quaife Differential, OS Giken Clutch Plate
Exhaust: Custom
Suspension: Tein Monoflex Coilovers w/ SPL Arms
Wheels/Tires: TE-37's w/RE-11's
Exterior: Varis Kit (CF)
Interior: Rear Camera (Mirror), Upgrade Pod guages, Shift knob

  • Fly1Motorsports RS1 Fenders
  • Debating on what to do with spoiler, EVO-R High Wing or something more track oriented like the APR GTC300 or perhaps a Voltex
