What to add to my 370z?

I recently bought my new 2012 370z A7 Base with sport package from my dealership for 28.5K OTD. I'm wondering what else should I add when I go with GTM

Default What to add to my 370z?

I recently bought my new 2012 370z A7 Base with sport package from my dealership for 28.5K OTD. I'm wondering what else should I add when I go with GTM supercharger Stage 2 or should I just go with stillen. I'm located in California so either performance shop is not hard for me to get to.

When you go supercharged? So if you're definitely going supercharged, get the Stillen front fascia, one of the most functional aftermarket front bumpers.

Otherwise, some body mods if you're into that. Gonna NEED a catback (maybe with some (R)HFCs, or test pipes). It will probably be required for you to do the catback if you go FI.

you are going to need a oil cooler and trans cooler for sure, maybe a power steering cooler as well but im not sure, as far as looks go, you should buy the nismo body kit from nissan, you will be one of the few who have a nismo kit on their automatic Z(basically an automatic nismo z)

oh and go stillen, its the only supercharger thats carb certified, so unless you want to be paying hundreds for fake smogs and still risk having your car inspected for illegal mods(if you violate this enough, carb will assign you to a smog place)

tbh its just less of a headache than if you went GTM at the moment, if gtm does get their kit carb certified, i say go gtm but until then go stillen

id save up 20k just in case something happens, you dont want to have something break right after installing the kit and have warranty denied because of the kit

12K will get you everything you need plus install labor but its always good to have a back up plan

Oh, I'm just asking. My camaro 2ss (Is my insurance policy to sell if anything ever happens to my GTR or 370z) I've always hated it, got it as a consolation graduation gift, because my uncle decided to take the Audi R8 that was suppose to be my graduation gift and crash it.

What do you usually trade? And what level of stock data do you get?

Now this is what I'm talking about.. Still need a dedicated thread to the SM. (there probably is one...) Interested as well. The past few months, my portfolio has been keeping me on the down and down..

Sure is funny how a few guys come on here rapping about GTR's and Lambos, etc. Mention stocks as income, get questioned by those of us who do diddle daddle in stocks, and cant get a response out of them.

I agree with tibal on the point of having a SM thread as well.

Haha, Lets make it happen.

Most of the time its hard to believe anyone can be making "that much" without already have the beans in the first place to invest.. taking it slow like stepping stones for most.. Or as attainable for some as a hop skip jump.. how ever one wants to look at it I guess. We can take this to a new thread

edit.. Stocks Investing MONEY : Education?!! Pinkys : OTC

Well.... let me explain how it works first. I get my Data from WSJ and other newspapers keeping up with current events and what is happening around the world. A couple weeks ago, I invested in a stock called NGD (a gold stock) for less then a day, in about 3 hours made 5.83% then sold instantly. It's just knowing what is going to happen. etc.... DO NOT Buy ATT, Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint, etc... other wireless networks because you think they are going to go up because of the new Iphone. Many people mistake this and are dead wrong. The company will make more money in the long-term but they are subsidizing the price at the start which will lower there Q3 profits. Meh there much more into it. It would take me almost a month to explain to you how to build and sell in a day trading market. Looking at graphs to the economics part of it. And for long term investment, think of Dividends (the stocks don't increase by much, but the dividends pay you back what you should be making.)
