had mine for about a little two months now, now starting to feel the modding itch, and thinking performance wise....(1. STILLEN gen 3 intake, and 2. possibly STILLEN catback Exhaust, at the same time ...definately getting the exhaust later if i cant get it now)

as of right now.... my Z is still bone stock... BUT intake will be FIRST, along with the Catback (if i can get it..fianicially)

Dude do the GTR start button too. $40, 30 minutes of your time tops, and it's a nice change to the interior. Easiest first mod out there

What...did you do... go and have a conversation about modding your Z to your dealership?

You talk about the dealership like it's your dad!

IMHO, unless you are going w/ forced induction the only other thing that I can think of that's bolt on that might give the dealership pause are possibly intake and test pipes.

My first visual mod was tint on the windows and tail lights and later I added a rear spoiler. For my first performance mod, I just bought a Berk exhaust

The first tip I would absolutely have to give you is to use the search feature on this site. You will find that a lot of your questions will be answered!

Anywhoo here's the link to the GTR start button:

The Nismo Shop : West Covina Nissan : R35 GT-R Ignition Start button switch unit
