Itll be in a while dude, like at the end of the summer. If I do it. I sure hope so. Hopefully My dad will let me borrow some cash. Im still in High school so something crazy like an rb or even a v8 is over the top. I need to have some driving experience first. Im not going to be that kid who wrecked his 240... Ill let you know and will post plenty of pics when its all done

I got my KYB AGX's, and tein drop springs off of ebay for under $480.00 pretty good deal......
www.NIZZX.com sells NEX coil overs for a little under $600.........
Internal build up kits through NIZZX also, they offer any CR piston you want for the KA I am ordering mine in 11.1 CR so I can run 91 octane, and use a good streetable cam.......
Don't know what town your in, but any performance shop could put the engine together depending on the rates and if you buy the internals yourself it will cost between $1500 and $3000 so shop around a little.
Look around for higher flow rate high impedence injectors around 280 to 440cc for NA and how much power you want from them.
To keep your fuel system cheap go to a wrecking yard and pull a 300z/z32 fuel pump off of a 300z 1990-96.
Get an SMT6 or apexi SAFC, with a 300z/z32 MAF..
Or go with a mega squirt stand alone engine management system, mega squirt isn't smog legal though.....

Coolant bypass, is to shut water off to the TB 1 HP gain, "helps ATOMIZE fuel better". Shift your power band advance your timing 3 to 4 degress "counter clock wise" use platinum or Iridium spark plugs and 91 octane "only" for this MOD, 6HP and reduces lowend torque.
where can i find the secondary butterflys in the intake manifold and how to i take them out?
im new to the car scene.

Secondary butterflys are located in the runners of the manifold you have to disasemble everything on the intake manifold to get to it. Removing the butterflys, especially on 91-92 KA's is like running the hot cam set up on 95-98 KA's. 91-92 and 95-98 KA's carry the same compression of 9.6:1. So you will see the same HP increase as the 95-98 KA's hot cam set up because 95-98 don't have seconday butterflys.

I guess they want you to email them first. They run on whats called the loyal customer basis. Since I have been a customer of theres they just email me there list of prices for the month. If you want it I can email it to you. They also state on there site that they can email you the list which is pretty fricken long, they have more items than advertised. But if I keep representing Nizzx on this site it will start to look like spam and the moderators don't like that.
So yeah cheak out phatkat and hybridka also.
