you could ditch the heavy chrome wheels and pick up a set of lightweight wheels.

For power, you could always do 50/50 water/methanol injection like Aquamist, Snowperformance, coolingmist, etc. The result is like running race gas but he car would need to be tuned for it. The best benefit however comes if you already have a turbo or supercharger installed. it helps cool the intake charge, reducing risk of detonation allow you to run more advanced timing, etc. The WRC cars use it so you know its durable. WAY safer than running something like nitrous Here's their main site but many companies carry it. www.aquamist.co.uk Thicker front/rear sway bars would help turn-in and reduce body roll a bit, coil-overs are also a nice handling choice like the Tein Flex Coilover with EDFC controllers (or equivalent company) that you can adjust damping/stiffness on the fly from inside the car. Just some ideas

I am not sure what your driving skill is, but I have found that the best way to spend money to go faster is to invest in track time. Once you are at the top of your class, then is a good time to start modifying your car.

I drive for a living & I put in lots of miles!!! Love to go fast, so everytime I drive I learn..have had the pleasure to live and drive in some of the nicest cities were it's a shit load of fun to drive!! L.A. PHX. L.V. N.Y... Been on a track a couple of times. In the GAR at abt 2am I took the lead in a pack of cars on some pretty sweet curves and no one tried to pass me.. they just enjoyed the ride!!! some of the cars in that pack were a Lotus Elise, a Lambo, 2 Stangs, a Bentley & a sweet Benz. But you can always learn more!!!! ;D

you could always add some spray, or beef up the suspension even though the G has a pretty good oem setup

I heard theres a new intake manifold for the G supposed to add 17 hp so maybe actually what about 10hp anyway 900 bucks. What do you guys think.

$900.00 + labor for 10 hp.... A man as bright as me. Gotta love Nissans.

Personally I don't like it at all. I like the wing you have now or none.
It's not like you really need the down force in the corners.

Im planning on running some system however want to have control of when the system comes on, and would like to bealbe to control water/alcy injection almost as if it was a fuel injector maped with load/rpm etc only company i know of that does this is fjo, do you know if aquamist has this ablity or something like it?

Jake, most controllers work off of boost.. Some, such as SMC are progressive, where pump speed changes with boost, so I.E. you start spraying at 7psi, but dont hit full pressure until like... 17...

I saw a similar setup on a blue mustang around here. IT looked really good. Is it adjustable or stationary? Now for a front air damn to even out the downforce : )

Post by JonnyGT on Mar 9, 2008 19:35:15 GMT -5
its stationary, i was thinking of getting the 2000 cobra R front dam or just get the svt cobra bumper and a chin spoiler, and im dropping the car down 1.5 inches

If you are looking for water / methanol injection, please talk to FJO Racing. They have a very nice setup, and am sorta close with them. They send me crap to test etc. I have dabbled in this quite a bit with a friend of mine in the RX7 world.

Ive looked at fjo's stuff, and like it over all others due to the hsv, however,that setup costs the same as a damn motor rebuild, gona be a while before i can afford that

I bet you Swift could hook you up. Give them a call and see what they can do for you.

Post by skimobile on Mar 28, 2008 19:27:19 GMT -5
Yea, I think SWIFT deals with Coolingmist system, have had group buys in the past and they have hooked up several cars with water/methanol systems. I found that out AFTER I already had the Aquamist system installed in my car or I would have given Geoffry @ SWIFT a ring. The shops # is 860)823-1909 if anyone has any questions for them.
