GMballistic Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Welcome aboard Richard. It's all personal taste regarding air filters/intakes and exhausts etc. You won't see major gains and will need an UpRev (remap) to see any power improvements. Basically to perk up the performance a little you're looking at: Good service. E.g: Replace oil/plugs etc if not already in good shape. Performance panel filter/air induction kit*. Plenum spacer (lot's of choice from: Horsham Developments spacer/Motordyne spacer/Wasso spacer etc) Example: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71728-fsbatch-4-custom-anodised-plenum-spacers-170/ HFC (High Flow Cats) or De-Cats. Full Cat to back exhaust system. UpRev. *Most people regard the standard air box with an uprated performance panel filter as the better performance upgrade in comparison to an air induction kit although the latter obviously adds a nice bit of engine bling as well as increased noise in most cases. Also if you stick with the standard air box have a look at the 2006 conversion kit: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86240-new-batch-2006-airbox-conversion-kit-interest-list/ UpRev tuner (although there are others): http://www.h-dev.co.uk/index2.php?page=350z_mapping Two very good registered traders on here that can sort you out with basically anything you need for the Zed are Tarmac Sportz & the Cougar Store. The Cougar Store: http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=bcaa60565806895c2c0f2d2ff1b32aee Tarmac Sportz: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/nissan-350z.aspx Both are in the traders section on here ( http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/ ) as well as a whole host of other excellent traders. Anymore questions just ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350zedd Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hello and welcome along You're not going to get any worthwhile performance mods on a budget, and the only way to get any significant power upgrade is with forced induction. You would be better spending your cash on handling mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What's the distance to Saturn ? Well smart a** Hugh it is constantly changing as both Saturn & our planet Earth are moving through space. But google states it is approximately 746 million miles away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedd Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Welcome An exhaust is always a good first mod, just to bring out the awesome exhaust note. For decent gains though your going to have to go Force Induction Induction, unfortuanetly that isn't too cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
