Common performance upgrades.

[Eikon]

OK Guys, I need your help!

I'm working on a project and I need everyones help and input to really make it shine.

I want to develop list of common 240sx (convertible included) performance upgrades. I want each upgrade to be listed with a short description of why it helps, what gain to expect, a link to a related NICO thread that can be of more detail, and a do-it-yourself difficulty rating (1 easy to 5 hard).

Here's an example for a template.

********************************************************Cold Air IntakeAn engine needs air to burn the fuel and create power. Two improvements can be made to this airflow to help increase power. First off, the cooler the air going into the engine, the better the cumbustion will be. Second, the less restrictive the intake tract is, the more air the engine will be able to suck in.

Expected performance increase: From 2-5 additional hp gain.Do-it-yourself difficulty: pretty darn easy. Cost: $30 to $150http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=38720

Sturt Tower BraceInstalling a strut tower brace is one of the most rewarding modifications that can be made on a 240sx convertible. Specifically a triangulated brace such the one sold by CP Racing. The benefit of a strut tower brace is to strength and add rigidity to the front of the chassis. By linking each strut tower (and the firewall with a triangulated version) a great deal more lateral stability in created. This will tighted up the feel of the vehicle and help you corner better.

z32 brake

well we all know o to 60 is cool but so is 60 to 0... if you want to make your car fast then you should want to stop fast.

this is a do it your self but it has diffrent levels.

2 if your just doing fronts 3 if your doing it all this includes

front brakes rear brakes rear e-brake z 32 master cylinder

these brakes can very in price but your best bet is to find a z32 in the junk yard and you'll get it cheap.
