Need help/opinions/answers!

Ok, I have a '95 (made a mistake in the title thing) 240sx with the KA engine - 114,000 miles (engine rebuilt last fall).

If I were to get nitrous (75-100hp shot), which would be the best setup? It has to be somewhat inexpensive, and easy to install (weekend project). Was thinking about a NOS dry system or a Zex kit.

I'm also trying to decide on what kind of springs to get. This forum seems to like Eibach Sportline's. I don't want them to be terribly low because I don't want the ride to be very stiff, nor scrape / bottom-out alot. What are some good, yet inexpensive shocks/struts?

What is the best cold air intake for the money? I had a Stillen-type intake on my Maxima...it was awesome! I loved the growl it made at WOT... I bought it for $25 on eBay; I noticed there is this same (or similar) intake for the 240 on eBay, for $25. Is this really the best value for the buck?

What are the best headers for the money?

The best spark plugs for 100hp shot of nitrous?

The best spark plug wires?

The best front upper strut bar?

In the next-to-latest issue of Sport Compact Car magazine they tested 7 tuned RSX's. The one that had the best braking performance only had Greenstuff brake pads, compared with others that had big custom brake kits. Do Greenstuff pads work this good on the S14?

Lastly, what would be a good accent color for a gold-colored 240? Yellow, maybe? Silver? Blue?

If I think of anything else, I'll just ask! Thanks a ton!!!

If you are going to use NO2....I would go with the the dry system offered by N.O.S. because you don't have to mess with a bigger fuel pump or the ecu.  You can only go up to a 60 or 75 shot...I believe this is the max they offer the dry system in.  

Cusco carbon fiber strut tower bars are the best for our cars...personal opinion though.

NGK, Nology, Moroso make good plug wires and for plugs I would go with Moroso if I was looking at doing no2.  Never installed nos on an import, but on a 66' nova we just ran some good platinum tipped ones for a duel stage setup of nos (can't remember the name of the plugs).

As for headers....Hot shot makes a 4-2-1 design that is one of the best setups for the money....many people believe they are the best for our cars.

Eiback prokits sound more like the springs you would enjoy the best....only drop the car an inch in the front and like 1.4" in the back I think.  You can get them for $179.99 at Shox.com (http://www.shox.com).

Intake....spend the cash and get either the injen with the extension or the AEM short ram.....they are most def. worth the money.

Pleases correct anything I messed up here guys, but I think that covers everything. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

Why is Shox.com seem horrible to me? &nbsp;You have to fill out an information sheet to get a price on something? &nbsp;I mean really. &nbsp;Next time I go to Sears I'm going to have to tell them my mothers birth year so I can buy a drill bit set.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

What do y'all think of Unorthodox Racing's Ultra Street 6061-T6 billet aluminum underdrive pulleys?

[silvia lover]

you can get the asp pulley instead the unorthodox. i remember somewhere in the forum or in the 240sx.com / 240sx.or has a special deal of it. you can save at least 50 for it. and asp made a good pulley beside unorthodox. and i heard the asp is a bit better than unorthodox. that's my opinion.
correct me if i was wrong guys. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Just an opnion. &nbsp;Do not buy N.O.S. brand name stuff. &nbsp;If you actually use it you figure out very quickly that there injectors are junk and clog. &nbsp;So when you have three cyn. running proper NOS and one with half the amount think of the results. &nbsp;Buy anything but them. &nbsp;But this is just my opnion and I am sure someone will disagree and say I just didn't put them in right or some crap.

Nitrous Express. &nbsp;I presonally love their kits, and when the money comes in, I will have a NX spool up kit.
For nitrous, you will need colder plugs, so when shopping, figure out what size shot you want, and drop the plugs heat ranges. &nbsp;Also, get something strong for a plug. &nbsp;Iridium, Platinum, ect. &nbsp;There will be a lot of heat and pressure in there, and the last thing you want is an electrode to snap off.
For safeness, I would suggest fuel if you go about 100hp shot. &nbsp;Fuel pump $140, fuel injectors, $400+, and a JWT ecu $595. &nbsp;And if you wanna take the engine apart, some altima rings... cuz they seal well. &nbsp;
Someone has this same setup, lotsa fuel, altima rings, and a 175 shot, and runs 11.2 all day. &nbsp;Stock internals. &nbsp;But he did weld on something to keep it together (ace should know the details.)
Go for it... just dont go F&F and melt things.
