GA16DE upgrades? Body/Performance

[Tycar]

ok two questions in one:
1) What are the best bolt ons for a 99 GXE Limited. Its the 4 Door Manual with a GA16DE in it... infact, best upgrades period. Performance wise. anything and everything is accepted and welcomed.

2) What sort of body Mods would it take to get ^said car^ into decent enough shape to at least sit in a show without getting laughed at. Any engine dress-up that is reccomended? little things and big things are welcomed. So far I have a cf hood, no scoops just stock shape. Chrome front grill. Clear corners with blue signals. Chrome Altezza Tails. Halo Chrome Headlights. and finally some M3 signal side mirrors that dont quite fit (anyone who has gotten these knows what i'm talkin about) its black right now and i'd like to keep it that way if possible. It also has no wing. any imput is appreciated

A hotshot intake, hotshot header, there is a greddy exhaust, but you can get a custom exhaust(2 inches, no bigger, and get mandrel bend) for alot cheaper. After that, the next best upgrade would be JWT Cams with an JWT reprogramming of your ECU. These two mods are actually what most would call the best, as they raise your rev limiter, and stop your car's power from dropping off dramatically after 6200RPM's. Oh and I forgot the UR underdrive pulley, it adds about 4HP through the entire powerband. JWT also makes a nice lightened flywheel. If you look for good deals, you can get all this stuff for under 2K probably

I don't know much about show, but I would look into stiffer springs that will help your handling, and for a drop of about 1.5 inches, as the sentra sits pretty high stock. Look for a pair of lightweight 16 inch rims, the look pretty good on the sentra, and take up most if not all the extra room in around the wheelwells.

if you want some bolt-ons, just look for stuff like some JWT cams and a JWT ecu, a stronger clutch and a lightweight flywheel and pullies. Aside from the obvious I/H/E. And www.hotshot.com offers a Ga16 turbo kit.

As far as body...I'd find the stock spoiler from a 99 Sentra SE-Limited and a clean Stillen body kit.

i personally like the R33 kit better than the stillen kit but its my preference

do what you want on the wing but definitely buy the 99 SE limited center piece that goes between the tail lights. its kind of faux CF.
and the 99SE-L has clear rear turn signals too
i just like the 99 SE better
slightly different grille and headlight shapes, darker pewter colored 5spokes

1995 GXE w/ R33 kit

1999 SE-L rear tail light garnish, wheels

1999 SE-L grille, headlights

Nice kit. Where can it be ordered from?

[slideways...]

wish i knewi thought i saw it in some of those mass producing body kit makers in (gasp!) super street or somethingcrashed my sentra so i kind of dropped the search for the kit but i just thought id mention that i liked it and for people to look around for it

[Tycar]

you can get the R33 kits on e-bay. brand new. decently cheap too. i really want the GTR kit, if anyone knows where that is please let me know.
