I have a feeling this is an OT joke...I'm sure there's a thread in the depths of the OG domain plotting this attack.

Exhausts systems are for wussies and poofs, get a sawzall and remove all the piping after the headers.

Intake = also overrated. Take everything off and run air directly into the engine. All that filter garbage merely reduces you horsepower. I mean, these engines are advanced, they can take some miscellaneous dirt just fine.

Any oil is just fine, but I'm going to give you a secret of the pros. Maple Syrup. I know, I know, sounds crazy, but it has an awesome viscosity, and it's been proven in some of the harshest areas in the world, like freezing canada.

Break in is tricky, and many people have different viewpoints. What everyone can agree on is driving WOT every opportunity. Engines LOVE being red lined, especially when new. Like a virgin prom date, you really have to abuse cars early on for a good ride.

Tires, well, let's first talk about rims. Switch to four doughnut tires. The weight savings will be awesome, and you will find people on the board practically giving these things away.

I'm glad you brought up color, since no one ever talks about this. I find that it's best to buy colors based on your nationality. So, if your white, buy a white car, black buys black, and so on. It's the only way to settle this properly.

Insurance = also for Marys. Completely overrated, you're a safe driver, right? Skip it, that way with the money you save not buying insurance, you can get the sports and touring packages.

Hope this helps,
A/S/L?

How silly of me, I forgot to tell you what brand of maple syrup.
I use this stuff:



When you're done putting it into your car, you decorate your apartment with the bottles and the chicks are like, maD impressed y0!

By the way, what are you wearing?

Oh where is the OG domain sounds cool.. would they have the answers to my questions?


I like your avatar.. how did you get to take a picture with that car like that? Are you faster than him? What mods do you have, I want to be that fast!

You should have gotten the Nismo though, it's faster!1111!!!

So I've been reading around the forum for a little bit now and I came up with a few questions I'd love to get everyone's opinion on so without further typing, I'll just dive right in:

What do you think is better, the 7AT or the 6MT? I can see the benefits to both but I can't figure out which I would enjoy more..so what do you think?

What is the best Exhaust? I want a great exhaust that makes lots of power and sounds great! The cheaper the better but I want the best one out there.

What is the best Intake? Which one is going to be the most bang for the buck? How are the Takadas (sp)?

What is the best Oil to use and when should I swtich? Also what filter are you guys recommending to use too? How many miles are you guys doing your changes at?

Did you all follow the break in recommendations? I've read conflicting stories about hard vs soft break-ins and just don't know what to believe anymore. I need input fast! PLEASE HELP!

What tire should I go to when my stockers are done? I was thinking about Falkens but some people have said they aren't good at all according to some review articles they read in a car magazine.. what do you think? Also what sizes should I go with?

This one is really a tough one but what color should I go with? Could you guys all post up pictures of your Zs in different colors so I can compare what they all look like so I can figure out which one I'm going to like more.

Also, I'm only 17 years old.. does anyone know how much insurance is going to be for me?

Thanks for the input everyone! I can't wait to get all these great parts for my car. It's going to look so good that it'll be in the next FF movie!
Let an old guy respectfully suggest that you take the $30/40,000 cost of the Z and apply it toward college and grad school. Then, when you have a safe place to keep a Z and the time to enjoy it and money to insure and maintain it, go for the car. At 17, you should think very carefully about this decision. I know this is not really my place to be telling you such things, but talk it over carefully with your folks first.
