Top 5 "To Do's"
Hello
I'm looking for opinions on top 5 mods that may relate to performance, looks or down right "nasty" must haves. Please provide manufacture and your overall opinion and any additional information that you may have. I would like to see overall what the forum is leaning towards when modifying their Nismo's. Yes, it depends on the purpose but still would like to hear from you. Thanks!!! |

Must do:
Oil cooler with thermo sandwich plate Pull the fuse on steering lock if your car has it Make sure the front spring spacer is removed Change clutch helper spring if you can't stand the stock feel Brake cooling ducts if you track it often Last edited by cv129; 02-19-2013 at 02:36 PM. |

IDK about 5 of the best mods.... but I would have to say my favorite on my car is my clutch/flywheel upgrade. I have a Southbend stage 2 clutch and a 22lb flywheel (stock is 31lbs). Engagement is so much smoother now and revs up some much faster than oem. Our stock clutch is garbage.

Off topic... OP your from Mass too?? Mind me ask where? We should go to Z meet when weather is warmer! And the local folks there can tell you what mods are the best and where you should take your car in.

Thanks for your feedback!!! Would like to see a little more branding, no I'm not trying to advertise just seeing what is the best out there for the money.
I could search the forum, but thought that it would be good to have a top 5 or top whatever to help not only myself but anyone else that is fairly new to imports. The forum is great info, but think sometimes people are going with whatever the forum is ruling. I'm hoping if I have enough post I'll/we will have good starting point or argument which I will compile and post. thanx!!! |
