Well just completing my 90k tune up..

Changed oil/filter (Royal Purple's good stuff, good for spotting leaks too)
Fuel filter
Dist. Cap/Rotor
NGK V-power plugs
NGK Wires (surprisingly even cheaper than the auto parts store stuff).
oh Did I mention AEM intake? (you know since you're supposed to replace air filter too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>).

hmm what else do I need, diff oil, radiator flush..... sr20det..... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>

Nice man! I have the same car.. I was wondering where you got your AEM and how much-- was it easy to install? let me know- thanks!

That intake looks a bit small compared to the Injen...

Grant

I got it from S14guy. It usually sells for $160-175 in most places.

Transient. the intake piping is 2.5" as opposed to 2.75" on the injen. IMO, since the throttle body is only 60mm, the bigger piping on the Injen doesnt necessarily help. I also like the fact that the piping is powedercoated on the  AEM's keeps it cooler, (after running my car for a while my intake piping stays warm, but doesnt get very hot at all, unlike the injen, pssssssss AAAAAAAAAAAGH!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>

You should dyno your car to see if it's a freak, too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

you can find it at nismoparts.com or jspec.com I think they have the rear too.

For the money spent, you might want to get the JIC or Cusco c/f strut bars <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

Your car is sweet, but 2 words, aluminum polish. You can get your valve cover to look just like your polished intake with some time and effort... it looks awsome. And if you got lots of time, you can sane it flat and use the polish and it almost looks chrome, without the cheesiness of actual chrome.

or just paint the valve cover black to match the car. that way when you get the transparent hood it matches. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

great, I am the official whore of zilvia.net now *sighs*

I'm planning to get my valve cover powdercoated (it used to be painted, took about 1 hour of beadblasting to get it all off). Don't have time right now to polish it, too lazy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
