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!!!
