Hey guys,

So im about to store my Z for the winter and I'd really like to get some work done on it.... Does anyone out there have a shop manual that they are willing to part with or maybe sell? Also, I would like some opinions some typical mods for the Z, and on what I should mod first and what should wait for later....Thanks for any help you can give me

you didn't specify turbo or N/A, but generally speeking, first things modded are cone intake and catback exhaust, beyond that if it's a turbo you get a chip and boost jets to raise the boost (all this gets you to about 400 hp)

as for fsm, courtesyparts.com sells them on cd, also keep an eye on ebay for paper and cd versions

Start with your basic modifications...

Handling : Sway bars, struts/springs or coilovers, strut bars, good tires, etc

Power : intake, exhaust, computer, intercoolers, injectors, etc

Post up some pictures if you get a chance

Intake, exhaust, ECU, Coilovers, adjustable arms, subframe bushings, brakes, 99' tail lights, HID's.

Of course that's what I'd do over the winter if I had your car and was keeping it NA and also if we had winters in Hawaii.

I'd do TT swap, best bang for the buck.
