How about you take the $200 and make sure everything on the car works right.

I'm with you. With the 200...get it up to par if anything is not working well. Do a good tune up. There isnt much you can do with 200 bucks mod wise..

hmm..you tell us

Preventive maintence buddy! Get a new battery, get new sparkplugs and sparkplug wires, get new serpentine belts if needed, flush out your radiator, drain and replace transmission fluid, oil change ( get MOA if you got oil gunk build up ), fuel filter replace, get new..hmm...cant really do much with 200.

And this is with installing and doing on your own, if you get a shop to do it..it will be a lil more than just 200

If you suspect carbon build up on valves and whatnot, there is services at Goodyear that can clean that for like...59.95 (used to work at goodyear )

There are alot of parts that wear out. Just gotta wait till it goes or you suspect its old enough to retire.

hahaha thanks!!! i think im going to start with buying new spark plugs, getting a fuel filter, oil filter, custom CAI, nismo thermostat, new o2 sensor, gonna try to rid of the carbon build up with RESTORE, change tranny fluid, oil etc, and flush out my radiator. Then gut everything out to the 30 pound sound deading black $hit... =0)

just need a few suggestions on:
What spark plugs should i get? I was thinking about bosch
And i read some where that a 300zx fuel filter is best
Getting a mag II power enterprise oil filter
Bosch o2 sensor
AND WHAT IS FLUSHING OUT UR RADIATOR? (sorry im still a newb >.<)

flushing as in ..drain it as much as you can , then pouring water into it till it is clear of all trace of old coolant..then putting in brand new fresh, like it came out the factory.

i'd suggest getting some MOA from goodyear if you want your oil routes bling bling and virtually black oil trace free. Just add it in with your next oil change and watch the magic happen on you oil dipstick. ( i stole some from my work and it works very well indeed )

Get NGK sparkplugs if you can.
