    @ajvindiesel85173 years ago Tuned my 350z with so much now after 5 years, looking back the best upgrade was the clutch, I initially went with a sports/road clutch and what a difference, since then I've had the car supercharged and had to go with an ACT clutch which is heavy but appropriate. ... 30

Full cat back exhaust system. A Vortech supercharger system on it. A racing intercooler NOS connected to the intercooler. The side paint it a Chamaeleon maverick top carbon fiber. I have spent 6 grand for another engine upgrade. Blowing out the engine with a bigger Valoot power around 6 to 700 hp. I have a mastergrade wide body kit on it. Custom head lights compleat lighting system. There are more things just a sample. ... 1

    @jacobscott75503 years ago Should've been a list of 9 including headlights for safety reasons. For the base model DE's, they ran h7 halogens in a housing that didn't project light the best. It's SO worth dropping a couple Benjamins on an LED conversion kit for those stuck with the VQ35DE and VQ35DE REVUP ... 10

    @jeremygalloway13483 years ago The RJM adjustable clutch pedal will make driving a 6MT much more enjoyable and manageable. I think there is a clutch spring mod for the 370 but not sure if it is the same for a 350 5

  • @
    @504z073 years ago I truly miss my HR. Ladies and gents i would highly suggest a 4.08 final drive upgrade on a 6MT. Worlds of torquey fun and the throttle response is amazing if you are staying all-motor... maybe @Motoroso can do a video on this... you will not reget it... ... 4

    @josephpossanza50223 years ago Cam shaft and crank sensors are a must I went over a year after putting my new my new de in with my car having problems because of my sensors I had to replace all four of my major ones and things run great now 1

  • @
    @AFatGuyILittleCoat3 years ago These are all great mods but I'd replace some of those power adders for sway bars and bushings considering the cars age. LSD would be the next best thing but they're very expensive to have installed properly 2
  • @
    @christopherclement563 years ago Dead-on with the brakes. OEM setup is extremely weak. The Akebono kit is an incredible upgrade.

    @florianlambert13 years ago Was an insane video! Thanks, planning to buy myself a 350Z in 2-3 months, i live in Belgium so you are not allowed to tune much, what do you guys recommend tuning on a stock z350?
    Personally i think the power is good enough so if i would change something it would be the exhaust and the exterior

    @quincygaming95293 years ago I got a set of koni yellows and swift spec R springs for my z recently. Not sure im ready to go whole hog into coilovers just yet
  • @
    @freeyourmind88493 years ago I disagree on borla for the 3.5, Tuning is more difficult to find compared to a mustang/Camaro. I recommend a true dual exhaust and lighter flywheel vs stock dual mass. Cold air intake best on infinity, Z already bare bone. Don't put a larger TB on stock motor. You will lose power. Plenum spacer best on 03-05. Coilovers #1, then wheels #2, #3 brakes are a must. ...

    @DS_Renzo2 years ago So cold air intake and coilover and breaks seem like the first things to get
  • @
    @DaveDuzzit3 years ago I just replaced my camshaft position sensors on my 2003 350z. It kept shutting off at red lights randomly like 1 time every few days, and would throw a sensor code for camshaft. Still drives great only 110k original miles. 4
  • @
    @bryanwood4783 years ago Good evening. Great video, thank you. I have a 2008 350z NISMO, first and only owner. At now at over a decade old with only 27k miles on it, I'm beginning to play around with mods. 1st mods were fixing the poor quality interior with quality fiber interior pieces to cover the hard plastic areas. Also added a Seibon carbon fiber hood with inlets to let my CAI breathe even better. Mod's I'm interested in.....Seats....the NISMO seats are decent but the seat bolsters don't provide enough side support when driving hard. Any reccs here would be appreciated. From the mods listed in the video, I'd be interested in your take on the exhaust and suspension recommended mods in context of applying them to the Nismo version. I find the suspension in my car to be the highlight of its performance. Do you still recommend coilovers for this model? Also, same with exhaust reccs? ... 4
