So, I ponied up and purchased some NISMO triple nickels (555cc) injetors. I am sending my ECU back to Z1 to get reprogrammed and it should be up and running soon.

Yeah i know, It should be more than plenty for my setup though, especially on stock snails.

Plus, I am done with power mods for now. I think I am going to focus on suspension and chassis.

Awesome to hear. The Z32 responds amazing well to suspension mods. Go with the suspension tech sway bars. They are the best bang for the buck suspension mod you can do to your Z.

Very nice. And I agree with nsrZ32, go with sway bars, they make an amazing difference. My very fist suspension mod on my Z was Stillen Sway Bars and it was night and day when I installed them.

Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I was not sure what on my suspension I wanted to upgrade first, but now that gives me a starting point. Also, as with most Z's, my tension rod bushings are as blown and as worthless as a bullit proof casket. So I might just go with the NISMO upgrades from courtesy parts. Unless any one else has a better idea for tension rod bushings/rods?

Go with SPL's adjustable tension rods, I have them on my Z and they are very nice.

For what its worth....I have tried tons and tons of different suspension components on my Z32 and have quite a bit of experience with what works well and what doesn't. Feel free to post up or IM me with any questions that you may have

Well, for the most part, I am a nitpick with uniformity. What company would you recommend for suspension and chassis. I like to keep it all the same as much as I can.

Well see, you run into some problems there as there really isn't one company that makes everything suspension wise for the Z32. Some companies rebadge other things and make it look like their own (like stillen and Z1).

But check into SPL for tension rods, upper arms, rear arms, traction rods, strut bars, rear ladder bar, etc.

I'm a huge fan of Tein products, so I strongly recommend their coilovers. The HKS coilovers are outstanding as well.

Don't forget the SPL subframe collars. I just installed mine, but I haven't driven my Z with them yet but I have many good things about the subframe collars.

Thanks for the info guys! Yeah, I don;t mind running, say, two companies for suspension. Maybe get some Tein coil overs, then go with SPL for the rest.

You might also look into the SPL Coilovers, they are a lot less expensive than most other coilovers.
