New Z owner. Just picked up my 2012 Brilliant Silver Nismo. I love driving this car. It is so much fun.

martin82 · 07-05-2012, 11:02 PM

enjoy the Z, I still do after a bit over half a year of ownership. But I started tracking it after only like 200 miles lol!

ordered a 2012 red roadster auto,nav. kick plates around the end of May. I was told it would arrive around July. Excited!!! Then I received a call from the dealer telling me 2012 was no longer available and a 2013 would be arriving sometime August. No change in price. Anxiously Excited!!!!

Mods in Sig so far.

Springs and oil change done by Seb @ Specialty Z, car feels awesome.

All other stuff done by myself with my buddy.

Next week, UpRev tune, after than Oil Cooler (a must for the track I was told).

Not decided on FastIntentions yet, big investment, it is worth it from what Seb told me so I might do it, but I want to feel the car with just drop-ins and MAFs with a tune, before I opt in for FastIntentions and a tune.

Enjoying this car, I really am satisfied with my car, ever more than a 2005 Golf GTI I used to have, which was awesome...

Yeah, I was told the break fluid + pads are a must.

We'll see.

The POP intake is pointless, the stock boxes see better gains. The only real benefit of the pop charger is the increased engine noise which sounds pretty cool.

The F.I. exhaust is amazing! Don't get that tune until after you have an exhaust on otherwise that'd be a big waste. Finish your bolt-ons, then tune. I have the F.I. non-res and it sounds like sex! The only downside is the slight drone at highway speeds 65-80. The 12 or 18" res would take care of - I just wanted the loudest combo possible. It's loud, but bearable and has definitely quieted down a bit after being broken in. I've heard F.I. next to the HKS (arguable one of the best systems out there) and the F.I. is much deeper and more powerful sounding. Plus at $1100 it can't be beat, FI FTW!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome aboard! Great color choice by the way.

Yeah I went with Drop-Ins + MAFs instead of POP charger.

Smart choice!

RandyD · 07-26-2012, 06:51 PM

just for comparison.. i waited one full year before mods to see for myself what i did or didnt like.

i ended up with whiteline swaybars - sweet
Pilot Super Sport tire replacement - BIG difference
Stillen G3 intakes - nice

NO oil cooler needed - and i run it hard.

binary0x01 · 07-26-2012, 07:08 PM

It gets really hot here.

My Whiteline sway bars are gonna be in mid August. KamiSpeed told me they're on back order till then.

I'll def look into new tires ones I destroy the stock Yokohamas.
