Mod Recommendations

I am not sure that would hold because of the heat.

Yeah. You wouldn’t want to do it with the exhaust hot. It would melt the strap.

1. Sway Bars are perfect for OEM+ feel. They get rid of body roll and the car will feel more planted and sporty in the corners. You only need to do the front sway bars, it's also an easy install.

2. Exhaust - the exhaust on the Automatic Z's is pretty good. I would only modify this if you really want a louder sound otherwise I'd keep it the way it is. I drove a Z with a boost logic exhaust and AMS downpipes and it was so loud the dash was rattling and it felt like I was driving my brothers old 90's Acura Integra. If you're looking for OEM+ you're probably best with doing lower resonated downpipes only and keeping the stock exhaust. This will give you a nice low tone rumble.

3. Tune - a tune will give you a lot more torque which will also mean your going to struggle with traction if you go full throttle at low speeds. I personally tried out a Z1 hotbox which is pretty inexpensive and can be removed and installed in 10 minutes without a trace if you don't want to void warranty when you go visit the dealer. The hotbox simply raises the boost a couple PSI to give you more power and works well. If you're adding multiple other mods though I would get a real tune and not this.

4. Tires - Always the best mod you can do for a RWD car. I upgraded my tires to Michelin Sport 4S's and had a huge improvement in traction. I could accelerate while turning without losing traction and do launch control accelerations without spinning at all.

In the end I always like to keep a car mostly stock, I'd recommend upgrading to the NISMO if you want a more sportier feel. The other important thing is to not spend too much $ unless you keep the stock parts and can swap them back yourself because when you go to trade in the car you're not going to get any of the $ you invested in mods back. You can legitimately spend $20k in parts & install and the dealer won't give you any added value for that.

I bought a 2024Z performance model, put Nissmo street exhaust, Nissmo cold air intake and a Nissmo bigger radiator and Z1 hotbox in, My dealer said it is all under warranty. Really opened up my Z. Z1 Hotbox was a simple plug n play they say it gives a modest 20 more horse power. For me I can notice the difference.

It looks like I need to order another "S" for my badging on my car. JK

I wanted to do Nismo Exhaust and Sway Bars but they were out of stock.

Getting my Stillen sway bars installed Tuesday and Remark exhaust tips readjusted to hopefully center better and will report back.
