Ok well I know you guys all got summer car plans so lets hear em.
For me, new springs, maybe struts if i go lower then 1.5" and then it’s time to save the dough for a little boost 😉

paint her up and make it look nice, a set of skyline rims (hopefully), 300zx break upgrade, unlikely but all around coilovers, and even more unlikely - CA18DET drop in.

Getting married this summer so budget’s tight for now.
My goals:
- get 'er into the 12’s this season with no additional $$ spent on the car.
- work on my detailing techniques & know-how… polish 'er up and get it looking as nice as possible.
Then there’s the odd jobs, where I have time:
- install my polyurethane steering rack bushings (supposed to be a PITA).
- replace power antenna mast
- CLEAN & detail engine bay (a daunting task on its own)
And IF I have any extra money at the end of the season, maybe one of:
- new brake rotors, zinc plated (maybe x-drilled) - to replace my rusty OEM rotors that look like sh#t behind my 18’s now.
- Apex’i S-AFC II

You will LOVE those upgrades. The suspension layout & design is pretty similar between the Z32 & S13, so if your car responds to those changes anything like mine, you’re gonna be happy. Particularly the sway bars!

Seeing how I just started up my own consulting business I thought that what a better way to “differ” some income than to sponsor my own Z and build it up to hit the low 12’s.
Wish list:
- NISMO 555’s Injectors on order with an ASHSpec ECU (to be replaced with a Zemulator control system from Z1)
- Apollo FMIC perhaps with the addition of a cold spray setup for those hot days at the track
- INJEN Intake Hard Pipes (and other intake piping)
- New lightweight flywheel,clutch.This might come sooner than later,I was sure I smelled a little clutch a couple weeks back when hammering on the gas.
- New Downpipes
- Replace the 265’s on the rear with 285’s (if they’ll fit).
- Ignition Upgrade somewhere along the line
I also started working on engine bay cleanup, what I friggin’ knuckle cramping job that is! I found that Isopropyl works good for the grease and grime yet doesn’t seem to do any damage to the paint or plastics.
