First day owning

3500 on a catback is just too much when the Z needs other mods, such as you will eventually sooner or later have to get rid of the stock clutch slave cylinder. I started with a base model and upgraded to the '13-'14 Nismo Rays wheels (see my thread in the photos section) as they are wider and have more grip. The base model needed more grip on the front end. So far exhaust wise, I've put in Fast Intentions resonated high flow cats since I want to keep the car on the quiet side. I replaced the cheap base stereo with a Kenwood eXcelon head unit, added an amplifier, and replaced the speakers on the dash and in the doors. I like listening to music and don't want a loud exhaust anymore- been there, done that. I would consider the Nismo R-Tune exhaust- true dual front to back and a pretty good value relatively speaking.

I thought so but said screw it and pulled the trigger on it, if I'm gonna do it I might as well go with my first choice and not settle...do it right the first time sort of thing. got a local shop down to 2400+shipping so not as bad as i thought. Also ordered up an apline ilx-w650, some focal speakers I believe it was their polyglass line, undecided on a sub or not still. Wheels will be coming soon as soon as I can find a set I like kinda leaning towards VWS-1's with a step lip with probably what ever the newest version of the potenza Re-11's are as they were what I ran on my 350 and loved the grip from them.
