Hi all, this is my first post in this forum.I got a 91 240SX SE Coupe about a week ago. The car is completely stock and the KA24DE runs pretty well with 140k on the odometer. I have a z32 fuel filter in, and I am about to ditch the truck-style fan for an electric. NGK plugs, new wires, a thicker ground, and an AEM short ram are all in the works, but I'm not sure where to go beyond that.
I am considering:- Timing adjustment- Walbro 255 fuel pump- New headers and exhaust- Cams / Gears- LSD- Street Clutch
Eventually there will be an sr swap, so I'm not going to bother with anything extremely expensive or turbo related.
Now that you have read my little spiel, I am looking for advice on the more basic, legal (or close to legal) mods first. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

it sounds like you know quite a bit to start off with.
timing adjustment - search for that here, theres a thread somewhere that talks about how much is safe and whatnot, advance for n/a, retard for boost, run higher octanes for either N/A or boost.
- no need for the walbro on a N/a, but will need one later
- headers and exhaust, kind of a waste of money if youre going to turbo a little while down the road, but if you must get them, get a hotshot header, brm exhausts are nice, but there are a bunch that are
- cams, youve got the 91' cams, so you have the nicest stock ones, but again, if you must, try jim wolf, or pdm.
- lsd, depends on what youre using it for, everything from vlsds to 2 way clutch types, more info please.
- clutch, clutchmasters, act, spec, centerforce, i cant really speak for any of the above except for clutchmasters, and mine is just fine.
