How to make a non-turbo 300ZX go faster without spending huge $$$??

I own a standard 300ZX (Z32) manual I am not too sure on where I should start to increase HP and make it go faster (hopefully)? I also do not want to spend a fortune, I was thinking maybe 1k (I know I am pushing it)?

Thanks in advance.

 

search. For a grand your best bang for buck is probably pod filter, cat back exhaust. Extractors if you can budget for that? Actually maybe a chip + tune on a dyno should see you around the 1 to 2 grand and probably the biggest gain you'll get. Been covered billions of times, not much extra you can squeeze out of an NA without spending bundles

 

That really is all that can be done and I would put your flame suite on dude the oldies don't take lightly to questions being asked over and over again.

Best bang for buck is NOS but you have to be very hush hush about it lol.

 

Define "how much faster"

 

NOS!!!

 

Yet again, these threads give you the idea.

define hp ,suspension and brakes is a good start,speed isnt all about hp with an n/a,its about utilising the power you already have

 

That should be the final word to all N/A power threads. Past, present & future!

 

feel free to add my analogy to the tech section mods lol

 

lol, an analogy/quote 'section' could save forthcoming generations

 

NOS

 

Spend it on suspension, after maintenance of course. Plenum pull and 100K are a neccesity.

 

converting to a twin turbo....but thats a little more than 1k, but the best bang for buck decision

 

Find a steep hill

 

Even better...


A cliff?

 

I can't believe no one said just sell it and buy a twin turbo

 

Won't work on your P's

 

because the braindead dickheads who say that have become boring ,merry xmas
dont need a t/t with a properly modified n/a in the twisties anyway,easy pickings lol

 

but what happens when properly modified NA's get converted to TT? ah man i need a job

 

u want to feel a difference when u put your foot down then get a lightweight pulley set with underdriven crank pulley. unorthodox racing is good brand. easy install too.
then get pod filter, headers, full exhaust, bigger injectors, chip and dyno tune, onepiece carbon driveshaft, lightweigt racing rims, lightweight lug nuts, lightweight disc rotors, remove AC and Power steering, remove passenger seat and all internal trimmings, bye bye sound system, forged internals, 6 throttle bodies...... and NOS!!! that would be pretty fast ide imagine

how much u want to spend again??
