how much more do you want?
for 500 you can't get much unless you buy a nitrous kit- NX stage 1 or NOS powerfogger kits are like $500-$550

lolz j-spec

or some nice apc stickers with a apc intake.. but seriously go to a muffler shop and let them bend you some 2.5" piping and buy a cheap muffler and that should be about $350-400, and spend $50 and got a cone filter.. that should be atleast 5-7hp more

Me says intake then exhaust. having them adds power increases gas milage improves sound of motor (if you get good exhaust) makes the car sportier great start for improving a car DO IT DO IT NOW!

no Nos. please.

J-Spec, you're the man. i laughed for a good minute or 2 when i saw that.

just go with some basic bolt-ons for starters, don't go ape-shit yet until you have some income.

Yeah, Basic Bolton will due for now!

Nitrous Oxide (O-N-O) can lead to expensive repairs if used incorrectly too.

Iwould go with intake and cat back system. (Some shops can fabricate parts of the cat back like the piping that that is cheaper then name brands, might not sound as good but it will give your engine some power)

Ps: please don’t use the word NOS! Its Nitrous Oxide and if you want derivation it NO2 ! NOS is just company name that manufacture the product that over saturated the market due to flick movies.

good luck!

Yeah,
I agree with them Nitrous can lead to big problems I used a 50 shot in my 90' 240sx when i first got it Big Mistake I bent a Piston rod.. anyways... I would definitley go with the exaust system and while there at it if you do not have any emission laws there you probaly can take out the cat, for a deeper sound.

Also AEM makes a good Air intake for the 240sx, but if you are on a budget then K&N would be a great start.

Re: More horsepower

well if you want to be a pansy get intake & exhaust

even im afraid to use nos, but for hp that is your best bet. but its harder to install

i'd go the pansy way with intake and exhaust. my reason would be that you utilize these upgrade alot more that you'll be using your "nos". nitrous just doesn't seem safe to use in a car that you have to rely on. i've never used it, but i'd be afraid f how it would effect my engines longevity. just look at what happened to clutch240. also, the nos thing is annoying. mynismo, you wrote up that list of slang words on that other post..you forgot to put "nos" on there.

also...isn't it illegal in most states to have Nitrous hooked up on the road? you'd only be able to use it on the track...
