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. |

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

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. E |

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

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

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

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!
