What are your realistic future plans?

So, what are your realistic future plans for your 1st gen sedans? Anything waiting in the garage for an install? Any new ideas/mods you've come up with you plan on doing?

It's taken me a solid 4 years to my G where it is today. Kids really take a lot of my time.....and money. I wouldn't trade it for the world though. Also, going at a slow pace has allowed to me think and research before buying lots of mods. With my prior cars, I was focused on speed, but with this one I'm more focused on the exterior and handling. I don't know why. Anyways here's my future plan, in order

- install my front 350Z shocks that have been sitting in my garage for over 1 month

- Repaint grill dark anthracite (currently black). I don't know how this will turn out. Oh well, it's just paint.

- OEM Aero rear bumper cover

- Technosquare ECU flash

- Motordyne XYZ pipe (still waiting to see some more dynos before buying)

- Sourcing a non-spoiler trunk

- OEM HR headers and cats

I've only had this car about 6 months. making payments on it is main goal. These are mines in order.

- These trunk lip spoilers have been something i want

-Whenever these coilovers for the X are made that would be something i want in on.

- SPC camber kit all around.

- Getting another set of OEM track wheels so i dont have go staggered anymore is one i would like to do or go with another set of 18's in the $1000 range.

Thats this year's goals. Not looking to go boosted or anything, Just want a nice cruiser. Anything can happen in the marketplace of this forum tho...

edit------

a BIG future plan, its not exactly a mod but i'm going back to the track to pull a 14.6 or something near there stock.

Realistically....

18" sport or 19" coupe wheels....or any other OEM Infiniti 18's or 19's.

OEM rear spoiler.


That's about it really. Once the warranty is up next spring i might look into a 5/16 spacer, TB, and intake mods. No exhaust plans. I think the stock note is perfect. I'd love to put a SS muffler on, but i don't want drone or increased volume. But honestly, there is a good chance I'll leave the car alone performance and suspension wise. I already have a highly modified weekend car, so not really looking to get any more power.

I'm saving up for some nice 19's, hopefully by the end of summer. I'm customizing the cubby so I can fit my Garmin 750. I'm trying to make it look like a stock enclosure. End of the month I'm upgrading to R1 Concepts drilled/slotted rotors & new calipers/pads. That's it for this year I think...

In no particular order except for the first and the tune; tune will be last after all performance mods are finished:

Install Tein H Techs that are in the garage
Motordyne XYZ pipe
MD VQ exhaust
Osiris dyno tune
Sport pedals
Paddle shifters
BBK
Slotted/drilled rotors
Coupe Rays/new tires

and maybe, just maybe, a supercharger eventually. Everything else listed above will happen at some point and time!!!

True that!!! Still there is no way to stop modding! For me in this order:

- Body kit (getting rid of that disgusting blackish sills)
- Paint grill and wheels (smoked gray)
- New tires (245/40R19 and 255/35R19)
- Install the RH side battery cover I have thrown in the trunk
- Aluminum pedals
- Install Transgo reprogramming kit
- Headers
- ... I'll think of something else

Let see, in no particular order:

1) pop charger/z-tube combo kit

2) plenum spacer

3) some new performance brake pads and rotors

4) resurface and then mount a set of 08 M35 standard wheels

5) new tires

6) repaint the front and lower grilles, I painted them body color (LS) but want to change them to either flat or semi-gloss black

7) re-tint the windows from 35% to 20%

That's about it since we all know kids are very expensive!

Actually I haven't really done a lot to the car yet but they're already a lot more than I planned (original plan was stock and nothing else)

The first thing I will probably do next is refinish my OEM 19's. I've got 4 rears that I'll be mounting with fresh rubber.

Then:

Tien S-Tech
MD Plenum Spacer
Exhaust (still contemplating Stillen Gen II or MD)
4.083 Gears
ECU Reflash/Tune
BBK
