After buying a 370z..

Sway bars are a great first mod! Super easy to install and you feel the difference right away.

Oil cooler is also important if you ever do extended spirited driving or get stuck in traffic a lot. If you get an oil cooler, you most likely are into actual performance mods. Pair this up with better brake fluid too for even more street cred

Intake/exhaust as others have said if you need more power and sound. But kenchan is right. The best bang for your buck will be the washer mod, although you will lose the street cred you gained with the oil cooler and brake fluid

CSC is a big issue! Listen to LAVA. Or, if you don't want to spend all the money on a CSC rebuild, you can band aid it a bit with better clutch fluid, RJM clutch assembly and a Z1 SS clutch line.

IMHO stickers.

+5 hp stickers. they are proven. mine adds +5hp for $5. considering it was maybe 10 or so whp for $400 for the intakes.... bloody waste to do anything but slam stickers.

So on another note I hear that the cat back makes the car sound the way it should have from the factory..uhmm I think any louder would distort the sound from the Bose system and the drone at highway speeds would eventually get old...my 2 cents

proper set ups from quality makers and a good tech to install would not have the drone issue... from my understanding atleast

I personally bought my car and right away invested in suspension because I couldn't stand the wheel gap. Invested in quality spacers. Recently picked up an ARK exhaust and ART pipes. Next would be a tune. But like everyone has said, it's a matter of preference and what you want to do with the car and what you care for the most.

I have berk hfc paired with M7 exhaust and have no drone when cruising at highway speeds

Jordo!

#1 (a) Better brake pads and (b) SS lines. Even the sport package brakes aren't that great.

#2 For power, (a) a set of humble K&N panel filters (with or without "smooth tubes" and (b) either HFC's or TP's (ideally resonated). The OEM exhaust will sound plenty rumbly after that. (c) Cat back's are pricey on this car, so I always recommend finding someone else's "take-off" Nismo H-piped exhaust as the best bang-for-the-buck upgrade.

#3 overall chassis tuning to suit your needs -- sways, springs, shocks. OEM aren't bad tho'.

#4 tires - go wider rubber on the rears.

Doing #1 a & b and #2 a alone will make a very noticeable difference in how the car feels and performs.

Here is my 2 cents, I've own a few out of box cars. These were nothing but ordinary vehicles that I felt I had to make them unique as far as being just one more TL, FJ, Beetle, RSX-S Civic Si, Rubicon etc that modding was what made them look and perform different from the crowd. When I got the Z, I made sure to get the one that had all the options I could put on so that I didn't have to change a thing (except winter rims and tires) and when people look at my car they ask if I did the calipers, the suspension, the exhaust etc because they can't believe a Z would be made like that right out of the factory and there are so few in my neck of the woods to compare. So unless you want to dress up the engine compartment with a CAI, make it stupid fast with engine/ ecu mods (and really how often can you hit 100 mph in nano seconds unless you track the car) the Z ( at least w/ the sports package, manual, navi ) is IMHO a complete car...(now I'm toying w/ the idea of doing a rear fog light mod just because I think it should have come with it,at least a 4th brake light)
