350z Mod Ideas

~~ FYI: any high-flow cats/resonated cat-deletes/test pipes will add the bumble bee rasp.
Headunit: Don't have the knowledge base.
Manifold/Spacer: Can't go wrong with MotorDyne's stuff. I had the spacer, went to the Cosworth and going back to the OEM with spacer set-up.
Brakes: I think this is a good idea!
Wheels: What size tires you considering? A 18x9.0 +25 245/40 & 18x10 +25 275/40 Should look good. You can play with the wheel/tire calculator and OEM specs (18x8.0 +30 225/45 & 18x8.5 +33 245/45)

EDIT: I'd seriously consider an UpRev tune!

Stock all around other than we plastidip the wheels to see how they looked black

Current ideas to upgrade (and need help on brands that are good/bad):

Exhaust - Does the 350z have the hiss when you upgrade the exhaust? I'm not sure, but I know that F.I makes an exhaust for the 350Z also, so you can look into that too

Wheels - This I need help on sizing & offset, will stick with 18" & probably something black You can go with the same size as the 370Z. Or
Here are some of the more popular wheel and tire sizes (for good reason) that people put on their Z's. There is no "RIGHT" answer but there is a limit to how big or small you can go.

18" combination:
Front 18" x 8.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 245/40/18
Rear 18" x 9.5" , Offset +15 to +25, Tires 275/40/18
(lower offset such as +10 in rear is possible but may require rolling)

Front 18" x 9.5" , Offset +25 to +30, Tires 255/40/18
Rear 18" x 10.5" , Offset +28 to +35, Tires 285/40/18 or 295/35/18
(lower offset such as +23 in the rear is possible but may require rolling)

Exhaust - Motordyne everything!
Intake - Motordyne spacer / K&N intakes
Wheels - Stock V2 rays
Brakes - Plan is to give her my OEM BBK, what do I need for this to convert it for the 350z? Great idea
Head unit - pioneer 700bt

Was talking with her the other night and she got excited about modding her car and before I even told her the first item she goes....So what company should I look at for boost. I knew I should not have let her drive my car.

Isamu....that is the plan.

MREV2 and 5/16 spacer is the only way to for a 06 revup motor. I had one and it made a dramatic difference in the torque. You feel it all the way through the power band.
