e46 m3 now 370z :D

Hello people.. just bought my z 3 weeks ago...
did the 1200 proper break in procedure (damn that was lame)
had to actually drive 100-200 miles per day going nowhere lol

anyways this car feels different.. torque seems to be more powerful
comparable to sport mode on the m3...
i went 130 on it and holy crap i got scared! i felt the speed.
i did 140 on the e46 and just had to slow down (in a controlled environment)

finally nice to drive a short row shifter
unlike the e46 (that was long row punch your radio stick shift)
now i can shift with a finger..

i turned off the traction control......
launched it like i did the m3 on 3000-4000 rpm
wheels never gripped LOL! redid the whole thing with traction control on for 1st.. turned it off on 2nd gear which was actually hard since i was pretty much pushed back to my seat!

back when i was on the e46 m3 vert it broke necks, but it seems people dont know a 350z from a 370z to save their life. attention wise, it didnt get the recognition it deserves. really needs alot of work. but isnt that what we modbugs do? mod mod mod and mod.

im still starting to get used to JDM life. this car has so much potential.
so much parts, CHEAP PARTS! and yeah its nice to finally get the car ive always wanted since i test drove this car 4 years ago.
just wanted to share my experience ill be posting here my mods.. pics.. pretty much a 370z journal

One comment isn't considered beating a dead horse bud. I want to release valueable information to help new and confused members of what is overkill and proper techniques for our cars or all cars from this day out and on.

Geezuz, 20? lol!! No way. DD, 18/245 is great. When Im serious at Sebring, 19/275 Pilots. Great hookup, gorilla grip but not driving to work, for me at least. If Im lazy Ill take the 10 year old accord to work. Haha.

just saying, it has been covered and ranted about far to many times on this board and everyone has their own opinion about it so i think it would be best left in those threads which can be easily searched for

If you are going with stillen supercharger, should get a custom tune. Don't bother with the cold air intakes if you are going to supercharge. That is if you want ot save some money.

DEpointfive0

If you are going to get a Stillen supercharger you shouldn't get a supercharger. (And the intake will be lost money. But I guess if it holds you over, then maybe)
And OP please don't waste your time and money on the Stillen headers.

Don't mean to be Negative Nancy, just trying to give you a few years worth of knowledge in 20 seconds
