Super looking ride! The sentra looks nice as well- kinda reminiscent of a 510.

Nice looking boosted single slammer, quite a bit of money invested I see.

One question what the hell is a "jdm shifter"? Also I would update the wheel selection to something a little wider with lower offset. I only say that because trying to put 292hp to the ground must be a pain with those pizza cutters.

You hit the nail on the head my man. The cutters are lame! Just got to the cords about 2weeks ago i have some early 80's 300sz rims on the rear right now which are 235 and they hook up 10times better and they are pretty shot.. Im looking for a new rim/tire set up but im not sure what i should go with most likly going to sell the konigs and get something with a dish maybe? any input from some ppl would be nice. As for the JDM shifter it was a ebay buy. I like it alot very nice wieght to it.. the only problem is that the stock looking nob wont come off! wish i knew this b4

Instead of having the MAF in front of the turbo (sucking)... ie between the turbo and the air filter, its farther down the line, after the intercooler, in the charge piping.

You hit the nail on the head with that answer very simple. I like the look of it aswell i dislike seeing the MAF up b4 the turbo it kind of takes away from it but thats just me

RevolutionAdvanceMFRTAll 3 of those are very good shops and i know ppl that have dealt with them.. Are you a member of REVSCENE.net? if so they are sponsors on that forum and usually offer a discount to users.

Z tune and racing greed are good aswell. I would stick with MFRT if i was to go anywhere just because i have heard the most about them and ppl have always seemed to b happy. Ztune is more of a 300zx place but they do have a ka project i think

Thanks Smurf! The reason for that is so you can vent the bov right, because the air goes through the maf before the bov??? I think that's right. Anyways, thanks!

In a blow through maf setup, you aren't blowing off metered air. Everything that goes into the engine is accounted for.Also, if something were to happen (like you blew an intercooler coupling, or something up the line), the car will still work like normal, you just won't get any boost. It'll get you home

Cap and rotor check out your local autozone or autoparts store (or http://www.courtesyparts.com if you want to stay OEM), and for plugs and wires check out http://www.sparkplugs.com they are a NICO sponsor.

hey Pappa Smurf I was hoping to get them locally here, I don't want to wait for shipping.

since chronicalcp lives close to me I was asking if he had the numbers for the shops he listed, or if he knew of a place around us to get them.

Hey Stutter if you want to get those parts and instal them just go to lordco or napa and they should have what you are looking for and it will b alot less money then going to a tuner shop. If your going to do you cap rotor wires and plugs you might aswell go for a full tune up while your at it. Maybe change your fuel filter and oil... Anyways you could get all this done in under an hour and for less then $100 yourself. Or go pay over a 100 to get someone to do it for you

here are the numbers for those shops

Office hours for MFRTMonday through Saturday 9:30-18:00Closed Sunday & HolidaysMain: (604)323-2655

Racing Greed 641 Lougheed HwyCoquitlam, BC, CanadaV3K 3S5Phone: 1-604-931-8885E-mail: [email protected]

Ztune Motorsports#103 - 5180 Lougheed HwyBurnaby, BC, V5B 2Z6(778) 737-7468 [email protected] there is a couple numbers... you can find them all by searching google.

Hey Cronicalcp,

Thanks for the numbers. I also want to get some suspension pieces and talk to a shop about ordering some stuff. I hate shipping.

I am definitely going to do a full tune up myself. I wanted to get some good aftermarket parts or OEM.

Thnaks for your help.
