Bolt ons, all me! Internals or FI reliable shop

 

I've done all of mine myself but they were pretty easy.

 

I try to do everything myself. I will not tackle internals or FI of any sort though

 

So because I'm not so great mechanically I should probably just ship the parts to the nissan dealership and have them do it. I'd like to add more power. So what parts should I get to do that. I'm assuming a turbo and what else?Thanks

 

I'll do all bolt ons myself that doesn't require power tools or tuning.. Everything else is free game.. I could have done my suspension myself, but sometimes it's nice to sit back and watch ya know

 

I have done everything myself including intakes, anything exhaust related, coilovers, HU install, guages, UTEC, injectors even a tranny swap and Turbonetics install myself. On my recent build though I took it down to Forged so they could biuld it and put in the Greddy kit because I could afford it and didnt want to deal with all that. I actually felt bad and guilty for letting somebody else work on my car.

 

ill do everything i can by myself..if i cant then i will take it to the shop

 

Did most of the things myself. Only thing I didnt do was the crawford headers. Those are a PITA to do by yourself.

 

i have done everything myself thus far

 

The one consistent thing i always do on every car i've owned is stereo work. Everything else it depends how involved the install is and how lazy i am.

yeah, what this guy said.

 

i know brakes are easy but the whole kit has got me kinda worried

 

What model do you have ?

Send me your e-mail via pm and I can give you the relevent Nissan Technical Manual chapters.

Can't go wrong with those !

 

I've just started tackling some of my own mods. Nothing too crazy...intake, new head-unit, S2K start button, Zignalz, and now painting some pieces in the engine bay.

Even though I do surgeries on a daily basis, I'm not that mechanically inclined. But being on this site has helped since everyone has written some great "how-to's" and write-ups on installations. I probably wouldn't have thought about doing anything without having read certain posts here on the forums.

Plus it's a great place to ask questions and opinions, just as long as you've done the required searches first and post in the right forum. LOL! Good luck!

 

I do it all myself, unless I need "special tools" or heavy equipment. Otherwise my rule is if it will cost parts + 20% or more I do it myself if it's cheaper than that I let someone else do it. I looked into doing a bolt on SC, the install is pretty straight forward, and the manufacturer gives very detailed instructions. I downloaded the PDF of the installation manual, makes for a pretty interesting read. I wouldn't tune it myself though, there's no substitute for experience when it comes to tuning.

 

i do all mods myself
and i do other peoples mods as well for a small fee in norcal

 

toolbox+beer+weekend = happy Z
