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 ---

> [@Nis240](#): > > Sway bars > Subframe spacers > TC rod solid bushings 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. …Dan ---
