What are your goals for the car? Power, aesthetics, functionality, handling? I would start with suspension and a set of 19" coupe sport wheels. That will dramatically change the look of the car to be sleeker, while handling better.

Admintuning intakes, Full catback, Test pipes, Ported top and lower manifold, 70mm TB's, a tune. Then if you still aren't happy... turbo kit.

Search -> Advance Search -> Sort Results by Relevancy

lol it really depends on your goal and budget.
Best bang for buck for interior mod... $35 GTR Red Push Start Button BOOM instant GTR
Best bang for buck for handling... $250 Thicker sway bars BOOM outhandles a 911 Turbo
Best bang for buck for power... $300 Highflow cat BOOM outruns a Veyron

ur welcome

Summer-only performance tires, and swaybars.

BS. There is more information here on this forum than you could ever assimilate.

Try harder.

I can give you tons of advice and experience, but until I know what you want out of the car, 90% of it will be garbage.

Adjustable front and rear sway bars, for sure.

I recommend Hotchkis.

Find the closest track and drive the hell out of it. Takes a little bit but you can create a decent driver mod this way.

Pnw_Ipl isn't too far from Kent.

And both of you should go to Facebook and check out our Pacific Northwest Infiniti Nissan Club page there. Good place to be.

As for mods, coilovers and high flow cats definitely!

This is the best advice so far. Especially when the most specific the OP will get about what he wants out of the car is, "looking to have more fun."

Helped me out tremendously; but before even that I'd recommend performance driving schools. I haven't been in about 5 years but it's one of those things that could not only save your car but your life one day. Usually will run you anywhere from 400-550$ but the improvement in your driving skills will shock you and do it once every 5 years or so to keep yourself sharp.

When I first went at 17, found I had a ton of bad habits that, once I focused on breaking, made my driving capabilities much more instinctive and you will be able to push your car much further than you originally thought. I cannot tell you how many times I've not even realized how fast I'm going on some trying back roads until someone points it out to me. Only because you know how far you can push the car before losing control; and it's much further than you think.

I know it's a lot of cash for something you can't physically put onto the car, but when you have a Mitsubishi Eclipse coming up the wrong side of the ramp at you at about 50 MPH and are able to avoid a head on collision you can say thank God you took a class.
