I'm thinking about what's next for me, and want some suggestions.
I'm bout to pick up some Berk HFC to go with my stillen Gen 2 exhaust, 5/16" spacers, pop charger and z-tube. Is it time for a tune? I know I could still get headers, but don't know if it's worth it.

What do you guys think? Save up, or wait for a good deal on some headers. Or go with the tune and just be done.
FI isn't an option for me.

 

okay so i'm new to modding, and i have a 03 sedan black on black, should i do the same modding as the ones listed above for the 05?, other then color i mean. i was first thinking about rims and tires 20" to make it look fitted any opinions with what i should specifically get?

 

headers aren't worth it without going FI, the gains are minimal for the cost. Get a transgo valve body upgrade and a grounding kit if you're AT

 

can someone direct me to an earlier post with basic starting mods? or help me out again with what to get as a new person getting into modding cars? g35 03 sedan

 

 

^^^ lmfao thats a perfect little video !!!!!!!!!

 

need that grill man please tell me where you got that

 

noob here!

the stock spec tires on my 03 sedan wheels is 215/55-17.
can i put on tires with 255/40/17 spec... what will happen? whats the difference?

p.s. sorry if i offend people with my noobness lol

 

255/40-17s are too short, they will throw off your speedo, you could run 255/45-17s(thats what I have) but they are too wide for oem wheels, you need at least 8" wide wheels to do that. you could get some OEM coupe or 350z 17s for pretty cheap, they have a more agressive offset and are 17x7.5 front 17x8 rear

i wouldnt go wider then a 225/50 on the oem sedan wheels...maybe 235/50, but 255 is really pushing it

 

You would be off by about 4.85%... so if your speedo says 65 you're actually traveling just shy of 62mph. If you think you are putting those on OEM rims....think again.. Well the wheel is a 7.5"-8" rim the tire is a tad over 10" wide..got bulge?

 

thank you! info is very appreciated

reason for asking is because i have a chance to get 4 bridgestone potenzas for 180, which is the price of one potenza in stock spec.

 

Or even just read the first few pages of this thread...you will find some consistent patterns of popular mods. Look through some signatures of members whose cars you like to see what they've done. If you're not sure what the mod names mean, Google them or search further on Driver. It's all here.

MODERATORS: y'know what would be handy for heading off a lot of new posts and subsequent questions, though? A list in the first post of the top 6 or 8 sedan mods, like:

Motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer
Cold air intake - JWT Popcharger or Stillen CAI with z-tube
Coupe exhaust mid-pipe or aftermarket catback from Stillen, Borla, etc
High-flow catalytic converters
04.5-up 350Z front springs/shocks with coupe rear springs/shocks, aftermarket springs from Tein, Eibach, etc. or coilovers
Coupe 19" sport rims, forged aluminum from Rays Engineering, various 350Z rims
Aftermarket sway bars from Stillen, Motordyne or Hotchkis

 

You can use this to figure out tire sizes

Rule is to stay within 3% or lower
