Use the SEARCH button in the upper right corner of this window. It's the blinking red button...

You will find out everything you need to know there.

To start, check up on all the basics if you haven't already. Check plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, injectors, belts, hoses, fluids, oil...all the fun stuff. I'd even go all out and get an alignment so you know you're starting fresh.

One of the best upgrades you can make are tires (unless you just hopped on the drift bandwagon). A good set of tires will get you better grip, and lower ET's if you are taking it to the strip. After intake and exhaust; you can get some pulleys, cams, head work...you'll know after searching.

Above all plan out what you want to do with this car before you start buying misc. parts. Are you going to go turbo, stay NA, use it as a daily driver or a weekend racer...

No problem to put Z32 MAFS in your car. This will not help you gain anything unless your car is turbocharged above 300ish HP.

EDIT: That's what I get for being here @ 1230AM, I thought you said MAFS. My fault.
