[Official] Which 1st mod(s) for my Z thread.

KillerBee370 · 03-31-2011, 06:17 PM

Wow. On page three and nobody mentioned what the real first mod should be. The first "mod" that went onto my car.... The oil cooler.

What good is everything listed above when you're in limp mode?

having seen ARK and HKS in person, i dont think there is a difference in the finish.

And while i cannot speak for the HKS on this, the ARK is sturdy as heck. Mine had hit the ground a couple of times (thanks driveway) but it never cracked, or anything. Just looks like a tiny scrape.

This was my first mod as well. Had them install it with the new short block. I forgot all about sitting on the side of the road, cooling down. I forgot about it because it works so well. Limp mode or worrying about it stinks, the oil cooler is sound advice if you push your car at all.

Yes but do have a painful burning while urinating?

Pete370Z · 03-31-2011, 09:53 PM

The first thing I did was drop in K&N filters and then a couple of days later I did the Cobb post MAF tubes. I felt a bit of difference, I'd highly recommend you do that as your first mod. I just ordered test pipes and UpRev Osiris tune today, can't way for them to get here!

Econ · 04-01-2011, 07:52 AM

first real mod for me will be ARK's CBE...hopefully have it installed in a couple weeks.

jazz · 04-02-2011, 10:06 AM

JayYoon · 04-12-2011, 05:55 PM

ask yourself... how much money are you willing to spend?

Dre22 · 04-13-2011, 10:28 PM

i just bought my Z a week ago and been asking myself the same question but i think i ma go with intake first and then with an exhaust system =D

Samjam1 · 04-27-2013, 02:02 AM

Hey guys, my Z is pretty new and I was just wondering what some new beginner mods would be. Obviously not trying to replace the exhaust or anything SUPER to the engine just yet but what are some minor engine mods I can make to increase my performance, make the engine a bit louder and maybe even a bit more fuel efficient, if any of those are even possible. And then if I could get a few appearance mods that you guys have really like as well. Thanks a bunch! Trying to start off small and say maybe spend $300-$400 a month just to budget things out for now.
