A fuel rail and high volume injectors wont do anything for u with basic boltons. There are many things we need to know about what your goals are for the car and how much money ur willing to spend. Under 1k? Over 1k? Many will say turbo (will cost much more than 1k), others will say go all motor and put new pistons and cams in it (also very expensive). Others will say to modify ur suspension first.

Depending on your budget, i would recommend a nice suspension setup. A nice suspension setup doesnt necessarily mean buying the most expensive set of coilovers you can find. A lot of people have bought springs only and were satisified with that. A nice spring and shock setup would probably be the most beneficial considering you already have a gsr swap.

poor man's type r?


i'd reccomend geting suspension since you already have boltons, i got my coilovers before my exhaust, so maybe you should look into some coilovers(good performance) or spring/shocks(good ride)

If you do suspension, dont due springs without some good struts, it will be bouncy.

definitely dont put aftermarket springs on stock struts... you'll just end up having to replace your struts in a few months... there are some nice struts out there (tokico's for me) that will run you about 300 front and rear...and a spring kit is 100-200...cheaper than coilovers!

flamed=made fun of...H-T style... it's a different world on here... some people will jump you for saying certain things... saying something like "expletive JDM, altezza lights and plastic body kits all the way!!" for example, will get you flamed like crazy... also, evening THINKING about MENTIONING street racing...put the flame suit on...

Yeah, I wouldn't suggest a fuel rail or bigger injectors until your car is making more power and needs the fuel to feed the engine...ex: turbo or supercharger both are forced induction and suck more air into the engine and than you would need to up the fuel supply to compensate for the more air it will be taking in.

IMO I would go with a suspension setup first. GC/Koni setup is good but almost the price of a coilover setup. Cheaper setup spings and illuminas, still good but lack height adjustablity. After the basic hp mods I/H/E it gets kind of pricy

i've got illuminas, but ^^^^ is right...limited ride-height adjustability... just means if you want to adjust your ride height, you need digg. springs...if you can find a ride height you like, its not a problem...

im running illuminas all the way around with neuspeed sport springs...2" drop in front, 1.75" rear... looks perfectly slammed, still allows me to go over speed bumps, nice handling...

Suspension all the way. Build a nice car than handles well, then worry about adding power. You can have all the HP in the world, but if you can handle the car for **** then there is no use in having all of the HP.
