Which aftermarket part should I get first?
 
I'm thinking about getting either wheels or a exhaust, which one should I get first and what model/brand?

mishuko 12-14-2015 02:05 PM

a new brain.

wait no they don't do aftermarket brains...

mishuko 12-14-2015 02:07 PM

if by wheels you mean rims then do you prefer visual aesthetics over sound? or are you looking at tires as well? different size from stock?

what is your goal? what are you planning on doing to your car? what is your budget?

and at the end of the day its what YOU like.

someone may like the nismo exhaust, others maybe the FI. or maybe ark. who knows.

tires? i'll tell you straight. re-11.

DOOMMONKEY777 12-14-2015 03:17 PM

Yes i agree re-11 for the tiers, and yes i also agree new brain, cuz u need to figure out what ur doing with tye car, show car, just streed dd, RACECAR build, or just w/e throw parts at it.

I would get wheels first. The car might run without an exhaust, but you're not going anywhere without some wheels :twocents:

90 ST 12-14-2015 03:29 PM

The car is PERFECT stock, don't change a thing. LOL

Lets get some pics of said car and see what it needs, if it's sh1t brown i'd say paint it first...

Its currently stock 370z black, with the sports package. I also should've clarified tires/rims. Rims is what I mean't though.

JC-Nismo 12-14-2015 03:56 PM

Stock cars SUCK!!!!
And you should always lower you car as your first mod especially if you plan to get aftermarket wheels.

I would do CAI and CBE before anything else, go for some more performance gains. Tires, run the stockers until there done. It wont take long anyway. Wheels, the stock ones aren't too bad...and if you wait till you need tires too, you could go up to a 20"...

JARblue 12-14-2015 04:02 PM

You still haven't said anything about your use of the car :ugh2:

Daily driver? Show car? Track beast?

Get an exhaust. Fast Intentions.

The Sport package Rays are phenomenal wheels. Most every other wheel you'll see people using on the Z is a downgrade in weight, strength, or both. Except the Nismo wheels. There are a few, but you'll have to pay to play.

370zfan24 12-14-2015 04:44 PM

Its a DD.

Oil cooler

370zfan24 12-14-2015 05:14 PM

Any recommendations for a exhaust?

OP, how deep are your pockets? The jokers on here will spend every last dollar you have and your first born. :icon17: You said DD for the Z. What about the future plans. You going to keep it as a DD, or you might want more?

cv129 12-14-2015 05:43 PM

LSX Swap should be first to-do

370zfan24 12-14-2015 09:02 PM

Probably will be my DD for atleast a couple more years. Not sure exactly how long.

:iagree:My only complaint is that they're not compatible with a nice set of aftermarket lugs. The forged 19" 285s were a big part of what I liked about this car in the first place; why someone would spend money to downgrade is a mystery to me.:confused:

fzgood 12-15-2015 02:17 PM

Before you go spending thousands of dollars on stuff, figure out what your goals or priorities are. If you ever want to go forced induction, you might regret getting breathing mods before then. I would keep the car stock for a while to figure out what to change--it should be obvious after a few months of ownership.

I think first thing to get is an oil cooler.

Nixin 12-15-2015 06:30 PM

Get Weathertech floor mats first.

cv129 12-16-2015 11:31 AM

Yep, oil cooler and weathertech digital fit for sure.

This and the GTR clear lenses + LED dome lights. I thank myself every time I finish a long night of driving. Plus super cheap and easy mods.

kenchan 12-17-2015 04:33 PM

yah i recommend the GTR map lights too, run white LED's in there for a clean finish.
