By priority order what mods should i do !!

Hi guy's !

i just get my new 2005 G35x this week and i want to tune it as i can ! It's my first nice car (last one was a 1995 Toyota camry v6 le with 188hp...not bad).

I dont want to put a lot of money on it but maybe 1000$ gonna be fine !

I live in canada, Quebec ... i know it's far lol and the weather is very cold on winter and we have a lot of snow (damn ****)!! so tell me if what i expect is ok, in priority order for max hp gain with low cost! (sorry for my english)

1. Md 5/16 copper iso thermal plenum spacer
2. Z tube
3. K&N intake (wich on?)

Is it ok ? Should i get something else than that or... what your recommendation for 1000$ mods!!

Where can i find all this stock easily for a good price ?

Thnx a lot !

IMO, power means nothing if you can't get it to the ground properly, so tires and suspension would be my first mod (although I would never consider tires a "mod", it should be a standard thing to change regardless)

Get a Motordyne spacer package, Z-Tube and filter, forget about a cold air intake - they're pretty useless. Other than that, the only mod I'd say is really worth every dollar is the UpRev Osiris. Even a stock car can benefit from a good tune, and if I had to choose because of a budget, I'd get just the spacer package and a tune.

It can, but it's the gasket that will help keep intake temps down.

You'll get them for less money if you buy them off a vendor on the site.

After that I say drop it, clear corners then save the rest for wheels. Do you have tinted windows?
