Default new z owner with some questions



Hi everyone...I just recently bought a 2014 nismo a week ago with 11,000 miles on it and have to say they are very beautiful cars...I live in a super small town where there aren't to many flashy cars let alone 370's...I always wanted a 350z but when I finally got the job and money the 70's had come along and I was instantly attracted to them although I had still never actually seen one in person only on the web...anyways I have the white with black/grey trim and fast intentions exhaust...any suggestions on a intake I should consider or any other performance parts that a mild car guy might do...and by that I mean I don't want to get to serious with chargers and stuff just some simple engine mods that may be worth the money...thanks

my question is and if there is a thread about this I would love to get a link to it...does anyone have and cleaning products/tips/tricks etc that they absolutely stand by...for instance, tire cleaner, rim cleaner, engine bay cleaner along with maybe a how to on cleaning an engine bay, interior cleaner etc...this may be a stupid question but ive never owned something like this before and would like to keep her as nice as possible...so like I said if anyone has a run down of there car care of there Z or even a link or you tube video I would appreciate it...thanks again and hope to hear from some of you
