Nismo makes ANY Nissan faster, even if it’s a dust boot, it’s lighter. Your best bet though, in all honesty, is to get taurus brakes. You will need them so you can stop the car because of how much faster the car will be. Iirc taurus calipers are 8 piston front and 3 rear. You should look into that. Also, make sure you throw a can of compression in your oil and be sure to change the halogen fluid. Mid 12’s I’d say. I say this from experience…lots of time on the track. Best of luck! ---

What a waste of $2400…Shoulda just spent $2400 on an SR swap instead and you would have saved yourself a lot less work and the car would be faster. ---
