Christmas gifts for the Z

fncrow · 12-12-2009, 02:55 PM

So my parents asked me what i want for Christmas and since i dont really need anything for myself i figured i would ask for some stuff for my Z.

Anyone got any suggestions on things that arent expensive? Like sub $400. So far i was thinking about that adapter that will allow my iPod touch to charge but thats all i can really come up with since im not sure on how much brakes or sway bars and stuff like that cost for the Z.

my fiancee is getting me a Z license plate frame and my parents got me the touring pedals. so much for being a surprise!

i suppose *if* you have a base you can get a nicer headunit or a homelink mirror...or aluminum pedals (factory).

if you already have a touring, not sure... maybe some detailing gear for your car?

Window tint?

I guess i should have added what i already have;

Red 370Z Sport/Touring/Nav/Tinted windows.

Short Shift Kit and Shifter is my vote.

Yea i was looking at that. Was also looking at those pulleys people are talking about in the Engine forums.

Cold Air Intakes are almost always sub 400, as well as window tint. Short shifters are always fun as well.

do you HAVE to mod it? i can think of a million better places that money can go, even if someone else is giving it to you as a gift. if you feel you have to, power to you, but, from experience, i suggest just thinking about it thoroughly first.

I actually agree with this. I used to be really into modding my car, but ran into more problems afterwards I've since decided it just isn't really always worth it.

With the heat in Miami perhaps an oil cooler would be useful. Everything you need, other than a home made bracket, is available from Baker Precision or Racer's Wholesale for less than $300.

Yea i looked at those too. I cant remember exactly but i think the highest oil temp i can recall seeing so far has been 240ish with outside temps in the 90's.
