Hey, when Im in first in my 92 s13 and rev to about 2500..the power seems to hit a flat spot..it does this again in 2nd and 3rd gear too..I need to tune up the poor baby badly..air filter, gas filter etc...but any suggestions on what thse power drops could be...
Also..Im planning on lowering the car with some s-techs...but I wanna get some front end stuff done...i.e tie rod bushings and stuff..cuz the power steering fncked up and started giving me hell to turn..(was fighting me starting to lock)...and the front end started to get really sloppy...
What do You guys reccomend I replace in terms of bushings...control arms..etc....o yeh..budget....
