Rims/tires, lowering springs, headers.That's just my opinion though.

depends on the state of the engine, you might benefit a lot from a good tune up. Those are usually worth while.

I wouldn't waste my money on a set of headers if you plan on boosting it.Eventually you're gonna need to get the power to the ground.You can have all the power in the world but if you don't have a good suspension set-up then it's useless.

There's power in the head

If you want to talk about putting the power to the ground, upgrade your wheels and tires, this is the most important mod. Makes the car handle better, acc better, brake better, and look better (generally).

i will have suspension done soon. I was really just asking what should i do to the engine next? Alot of people tell me headers is the best idea next. What should be done after that?

I think the best mod for the KA24DE is new cams because the stock ones suck...

I wouldn't use Zex, I'd use NOS. There new NOSzle kit makes for simple install as well as perfect A/F mixture. You also won't have the problems other direct port N2O systems have with equal length tubing.

As far as engine mods go. You do realize your in the Turbo section. So as suggested above, a turbo will be the best power adder. If thats not enough for you. You'll need a complete rebuild, fuel system and engine management.

Doesn't get to much easier then the NOSzle set up. I don't care to much about the cost.

oh yeah i forgot your a millionare, dude if you dont care about cost why dont you bring a fully bulit Buggati quad turbo that pushes over 1000bhp quad turbo 7 speed over from italy? why would you bother with a 240sx? i mean a 240sx is a cheap affordable sports coupe. and dont tell me you wanna tinker with it you could tinker with a Ferrari too i am just joking WDracing

Ok kid, I'll explain this to you once. I'm not rich, I'm just financially smart. I work for my money just like everyone else.

I meant I don't care about the price difference between the two N2O kits. You get what you pay for...ZEX is entry level...

I also am familiar with how to build and tune an engine, not have it built for me.

There is absolutely no need to be arrogant.

By the way I do happen to like Nissan, I have always liked the 240/180. The only reason I don't have one over here is because of the Skyline.

One of the reasons I like the 240 is because it's an affordable car.
