I got a 03 sedan with z tube pop charger, test pipes, coupe middy, magnaflow muff.
i wanna get either a damper kit or a shift kit i was wondering if anyone has one or the other and what they think about it?

 

You will see better results from the Transgo kit but it is costly.

 

Get a plenum spacer instead.

 

You're choosing between a mod that costs $100 and a mod that costs $800-1200 (after parts/fluid/labor)

as re-crue13 said, get yourself a motordyne iso-thermal plenum spacer. It'll run you around $380-400 installed depending on what shop you take it to.

 

I installed mine:
1.5 hours
Flat head screwdriver
10 mm socket
Socket wrench
Torque wrench
Locktite
Allen keys
and a bit of river dancing with the pedals

 

Definitely get a Motordyne spacer before you think about getting the mods you listed.

 

^^^This

 

Don't bother with the engine torque damper. It is very minimal difference.

If you don't have a plenum spacer, that should be the #1 mod that you do.

The shift kit is awesome. I highly recommend it.

 

Thanks guys, i can defiantly install it myself i do everything to the car. i guess i'll go with the spacer haha.

 

can you really see that much of a difference from a plenum spacer though?

 

Yes you can feel a difference on the butt dyno and the gains are proven.

While the TransGo might be a little more fun, it also
Costs quite a bit more. I wouldn't try installing a TransGo unless you're very experienced with wrenching and have some experience with transmissions.

 

^^That's great advice. I've done almost all of my mods myself and I wouldn't touch the tranny and valvebody.

 

well i'll give it shot thanks guys. Since alll of your cars are so ****ing awesome, what would you think would look better. Either a billet grille or a mesh grill. If i do the brillet i'm gonna paint it black thats the only way id get that. I kinda into the racing look. i'm only 19 not rich at all haha this is what i'm workin with now.

 

Honestly I wouldn't do either grill. You don't have to be rich to make your car look good and I honestly like what you have done so far. A set of inexpensive springs to lower your car a bit and a repaint of your lower sides and F/R bumper lower areas would dramatically alter the appearance of your car for the better and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, maybe $500 if you shopped around. If that sounds like a lot, just start saving and do it in stages, I'd get the springs first. The grill flows well with your wheels and a billet or mesh grill would just look cheap IMHO.

 

thats funny you say that i just put 350z s techs on it. There on, in that pic just not fully settle yet. its lower now my rear wheels are tucked.
