this question is asked pretty frequently, it seems 225-ish, to the wheels, is the peak.

Dustin at Z1 Motorsports claims to have dyno'd 261 WHP with his NA. That's the most I've heard of. He never posted his dyno sheet, but I doubt he'd lie. I have no idea what his mods are, but I'd bet if you added up the cost of all the upgrades, it would probably amount to more than the car is KBB'd at.

Most people spend a lot of money and don't break 225. It's the ugly truth man, the NA Z32 is a little less responsive to upgrades than you would expect.

Ask Edgar (arcticdragon) he has a roof spoiler on his z32, not sure if you can get one though, it might be something "custom"

It is very nice though :) check this out, his ride was featured on speedhunters:

Your best bet is to get one from Asia.

^^ haha, asia. why not just say japan.


I have an NA Z. I put about 2 grand in just after market parts in it. My compression is a little bad and I think my timing is off. Suposedly I should have 210 to the wheels but thats just an estimate. I think more like 175 or 180 (which they predicted that a stock NA would make to the wheels). It still feels quick and you could reach high speeds bc of the gear ratio but its not all that fast. Nice to drift with tho. has just enough to kick out and not enough to spin out.

parts that i have?

Greddy Evo2
Injen Intake
PTU relocate (by intake)
AMS Short Shifter, Bronze Bushing
Z1 ECU upgrade with EPROM
Stillen headers
Custom Straight pipes
E-Fan
EGR delete
Solid motor mounts
Brembo front rotors
Hoodpins :/

If you are looking for power, work on your suspension and then save your money and buy a TT engine. Build it and drop it in.

Silvertwin short shifters are great. My buddy has one...Silvertwin (OH) is the guy's username on here I believe. Just PM him and ask him about it. He takes OEM shifters and mods them and they are great.
