- tow hook drift charm… - Nismo stickers - Ractive Shift knob - s15 silvia emblem on hood jk… lol - check over ignition system as stated before - Fresh motor oil and oil filter - take out rad clean out all the crap and leaves ad stuff stuck in there - fix rust spots if any - take the interior carpet out and see for yourself if this is a worthwhile investment…etc (ie. a hidden discovery like “bass boat” should give you a good standing on where this project is goin) - ---

take out the motor, strip the chassis down, learn it inside out, make it your girlfriend. find all the flaws, clean up the chassis do that before you waste money on something that may very well dispear next week . do a compression test, if the motor runs strong and the timing chain isnt about to go buy a ka-t set up off someone locally… r33 has one for 1200 dollars There are loads of options go google stuff, go look through as much 240 b.s as you can thats how you get ideas and what not… ---

There isn’t really anything that’s worth buying for a street car. There are those close ratio ones… don’t know what they run though. ---

Close ratio steering racks are crazy expensive, if you really want close ratio steering, get a smaller wheel and or a [steering quickener](http://www.howeracing.com/Steering/Index-Quickener.htm) ---

put in my ECU and get rid of the speed cut so you can go faster than 180?
