Hey... anyone modding there Z's?
 
In recent weeks the chatter of comparisons to other cars has increased 200%, while actual Z only threads have decreased by 90%. I was just wondering if anyone has modded, tracked, or is doing anything bodywise or mechanically to there Z.

Me i have been at the track getting the best stock times possible. So far I got 13.03. It was 77 degrees 15% humidity on a clear sunny day at around 11 am. My engine was at 170 degrees

My first mods will be upgrading my sport brakes, along with stillen intake and FI cat pipe.

check the technical forums :tup:

djpathfinder 05-13-2011 12:21 AM

Nope. Everyone is keeping their Z's stock. Modding is so yesterday. :roflpuke2:

Hambone1 05-13-2011 12:23 AM

Wait, they make mods for Z's?

waaaasabi 05-13-2011 12:49 AM

They definitely make mods for Mustangs.

FL 4Motion 05-13-2011 12:56 AM

this thread promises to be as good as that other one. :ugh2:


On a serious note, nice time OP. congrats.:tup:

CrownR426 05-13-2011 02:47 AM

My Z has never seen the rear of a stang.

After 14 months of ownership I am about to cross the 5000 mile mark and the modding shall begin. Called yesterday to book dyno time for a baseline pull and then the CNT high flow cats are going on and we will do another pull to check the increase.

Thinking Stillen G3 is the next mod.

Do us all a favor and close this thread.

Oh I know we can talk tech in the tech side. But I just want to bulls**t about our Z's. Anything I don't care if u r putting new scent in your car. Let's just talk about our Z's for a change. Lmao.:tup:

Leave mustangs for the mustang forum.

Kool beanz... Z1 motorsports has the G3 intakes with color powdercoats and matching silicone hoses. I'm definately going that route. I want red and blue mix in the engine while my exterior is silver. I think it will look kool.

I got the Fast Intentions CBE just about a month ago and loving it.

Told myself nothing the first year but that lasted long. Besides come cosmentics like the EVO R CF Fangs and GTR push start...nadda.

I think the next thing I would do is the HP MAF hoses and K&N drop in's as I'm worried about loosing low end torque

Nice times....I really need to work on my launch and granny shifting...I'm in the 14's for some reason :(

Fix'd. :bowrofl:

I spent a few grand on mods in my Z back in the day. Even overnighted a few lugnuts from Fontana Nissan. :rofl2:

Silly question on the GTR push start. Does it light up at night like the stock push button?

The text lights up.

It's really sweet. Looks sharp and it feels better. The kind of metallic red color is "high class" and it feels a lot better to the touch than the milky white stock button, which is very generic and somewhat cheap feeling. For $35 or so and 10 minutes of your time to install it makes a BIG difference!

:tup: What he said...exaclty.

I also have some Nismo springs to install, which I hope lowers the car .05inches and I'm thinking might help my launch since they are stiffer than stock :confused:

Click on "Project Bugatti Beater" in my sig for details.

But I'm doing mostly aesthetic mods until I'm out of warranty.

last thing I did was the custom interior: seats, door cards, head rests, floor mats, shift knob and boot leather, and GTR start button. lol it was a lot.

next I'm looking into audio upgrades and maybe an exhaust or wheel spacers.

diff, gears, and rims are next on the list.


Last actual mod was swift springs. Last change was just modifying the alignment to get a bit more feel.

I left the fronts at 1.5*, rear was taken down to 2.6* from 3.3*. Biggest change was setting the front to zero toe.

Dang when you run it at the track you should write up the results of your new alignment. Give like a before and after in your own thread? :)

Red__Zed 05-14-2011 01:43 AM

I will. Might be a while, since the next event at VIR is after I move. Not sure how much track access I will have in the future.

Huntsville. I don't think RA or BMS will be too far from me.

Locon, this is what you are refering to? My comment was in form of a joke, nothing personal and this is the Internet.

No reason to insult me over a comment that is NOT racial or personal in nature!

To me YOU went over the limit on your reply, if you cannot take a joke don't post in the internet forums. ;)

You know I'm going to let it go...free pass for you papa, ok!
