Noob needing upgrade list help

Sup guys,

I've ha dmy 98 240 for about 4 months now and i have a cone tinake with polished pipe and some interior mods. This friday i will order an HKS Hi power Exhuast for my car. I plane on putting on HotShot headers or any other that you guys recommend. What other list of upgrades you guys think i should do.

I dont want to engine swap. and turbo will eventually come through.

if you're going to do a turbo eventually i'd leave you're engine alone for now and focus on your brakes and suspention. But if you really wanted to do some more enging mods then you should build up the bottom end (imo).

yeah, I'll second the suspension stuff... races are won in the corners. a tighter more responsive car will make 150hp feel huge, and a saggy car will make 400hp feel lame.

I'm rebuilding the top end on my engine this summer just for maintenance reasons, and then doing suspension mods, chassis stiffening and brake mods.

Searching helps dude, and please dont post more then twice in a row...just go back and edit your last post


the electronic dampening thing your talking about is made by tein...I wouldnt get it, seems like a waste of money to me. There are so many coilovers out there...search around the suspension forums to learn more

Hey you could always get a 300ZX TT fuel filter. Thats something cheap and easy to install. You can rev a little better. I got mine for $13. It was cheaper the stock one and its twice as big. Ive got a pic of it showing them side by side. Props go to Hyjinx he is the one that i got the idea from.
