a light weight flywheel
Same cost as heavy one

better sway
Same cost as weak one (and not addressed on my post)

25 rolls oil-cooler
Now included and only a hundred buck or two from factory would not effect cost much

LSD
As part of sport package either don't offer a crap one or charge enough to make it worthwhile. Most ppl who need LSD have to buy two. (One installed and one upgraded)

NISMO ECU
free. just use the Nismo flash. RCU Data is free once developed

better clutch
Point taken. Though I don't know how expensive it would be to put in a well designed clutch pedal. I doubt it would cost much outside of design cost. (Which cost almost nothing to implement.). (I'd be happy to send them mine to copy for free. Lol)

better CSC
Point taken. But failure prone OEM cost more in long run than decent OEM would.

PSS tires
Never addressed in my post.

more light weight material
Not addressed in my post

better audio
Not addressed

better quality components.
Not requested or demanded

I think ppl are getting mad thinking that I have insulted their car (I understand, I love mine too). That was not my intention! This is just meant to be a quick reference of easy fixes for new Z owners. Things almost everyone eventually addresses. Don't be mad it's just info for shining up a cool car to make it great.

I'm not going to defend this position anymore. If you love your Z as is then please by all means leave it be!!! If you want a list of easy fixes that make this car more reliable and in my opinion nicer to drive please feel free to implement some of the aforementioned mods. They are provided as a service to those who don't lurk the forum as much as I have.

If I can save one member from being stranded by fuel starvation or a broken CSC or SLC I'll consider this post to have been a service to my fellow Z lovers.

It has never been my intent to insult anybody's car or mod choices, and so I can stop worrying about bruised egos, I am now officially stepping out of this thread.
