do you drive a 5AT or 6MT and what year. Putting 245/265 tires on stock rims will be tough, I dont think I would do it, but im not an expert.
I would also suggest upgrading cats and/or exhaust if you are going with new headers, the cats/exhaust wil amplify power.
Just my .02

Hmmm . . . Since you have posted more info about your G. . . I might suggest the Motordyne MREV mod in lieu of the SK2 product, which you noted. Since you appear to have the RevUp motor, it is the best power value for your dollar, in my humble opinion. There are many threads on the MREV mod. A bit of research and reading may prove to be very beneficial for you.

In any event, I trust you have a great time choosing and installing you mods.

What exactly do you mean by remove resonator?
Also, if you want springs, go for 350Z H-Techs, they give you a better drop (1") and still keep you very close to oem camber.
The bulbs idk...
and the plenum idk...if i were you, id invest in high-flow cats

don't get the skunk2 plenum; lots of fittment and leak problems with it....get an MD 1/2'' or 5/16'' spacer, you'll be better of.

I'm curious too....if he means on the exhaust, he'd be pretty stupid - that's what gives it its bassy tone. it'd sound like **** w/o it

Thank you for your suggestion. I'll definately look into that I'm not the most educated person when it comes to modding VQ35's i'm more of a 2JZ-GTE kind of person.

Thank you! I was reading about the H-Techs for our cars and it says 0.6 drop in the front and 0.3 in the rear. That's basicly stock lol. But If you say it gives 1" I'll definately get that.

Thank you for informing this to me, I had no idea.

One of the local guys in my area has a 350Z with a resignator(exhaust) removed and it sounds basicly stock but a little louder, and that is exactly what I am looking for.

I will definately update you when I also find out from what I have seen they seem to be around these prices? Again I'm not 100% sure, but i'll look.

Unfortunately I'm not lucky enough to have both a drop and a front lip living in an apartment with a slanted driveway(45 degree drop lol) my car would get stuck every morning.

Thank you again guys for all the feedback more is welcome of course. There are a few more mods I might add to the list but for the moment that is all I can think of.

I don't know.. thinking twice about it now.. I love our stock sound I mean thats what our cars are basicly known for taking that away kinda sucks. My friends nick named me ricer for including light bulbs and clear corner as mods but I mean there isn't much you can do to this car thats actually worth the $. I just want 300rwhp thats all. I bought the intake only because it was a great deal and I sounds awesome on my car(Ricer) lol but I knew it wouldn't effect the hp/tq i'm probably losing power from it.. but I just want that spacer and maybe a reflash or something to increase the power to 300rwhp.
