Hi everyone,

I guess it was discussed before, but the results my research yielded are not clear to me in full, therefore I'd like to ask some questions here, hoping you can help.

I'm going to buy a '99 S14a soon. Really good shape, nothing done to her though. I was wondering what the first steps (besides checking/replacing all the belts and replacing all the fluids) she should have done to her are.

I heard the factory brakes are crap (the 300ZX which I used to drive before had the same problem it appears)... So I'm looking to upgrade those first. Stainless steel lines? Brembo disks? What kind of pads would you recommend?

Also, what are the two or three first basic power mods? K&N filter and a better exhaust? I can go for a full custom exhaust actually, I just need to know what kind is recommended for these cars (diameter)?

Once I get her breathing properly, what are my upgrade options? I'm shooting at 220-240 rwhp as soon as I can get it.

Thank you!Maciek
