Im broke so im looking for tips on free mods to a '98 200sx
I've read this site for a while and I've seen some really good tips for 200sx's. I have a 98 se with 75K. I've tightened the throttle, and I have a K&N a/f. I have other mods, but specifically for performance thats it. I wanted to know if theres anything else that you guys can recommend to me that wouldnt cost me any money but possibly get me a few horses. I printed out the directions on advancing the timing, is that something i should be considering without a timing light?

If you don't have a timing light, don't try to advance your timing.
I'm afraid you've picked one of the most expensive hobbies out there - tuning a car. There's not much that costs more than modifying your car, especially Nissans. Parts for these cars are very expensive for very little gain.
If you're stuck on building your car for cheap, keep an eye on the classifieds for good deals. I was able to get an intake for $60, which is a pretty smoking deal.
you're right, parts have been hard to come by. i've been scouting ebay just about daily for anything for my car. I keep seeing the cheap front strut braces and apexi mufflers, are those worth anything? and does anyone know about a 98' G20 ecu? would that be somwething i could swap out? i've read it works well on older models........

pazz...I got a apexi muffler from ebay and had acustom weld/muffler shop install it...that cost me about $100 total, the difference is pretty nice compared to the factory (some may disagree)
you can also biuld a custom CAI....do a search and look for nostrodomas write up on it.
The ECU is goin to be pretty expensive unless u luck out finding one cheap.
I put 93 octane in anyway, you could always do the open airbox mod. Though it makes more nosie than anything else. I've got the K&N Filter ziptied to the top of the air box and a stripepd interior.

go to ebay an an it get an intake adapter for 10$ comes wit the filter an it is really easy to install. an that k&n filter isnt really good cuz it is in ur airbox. Take out all that shit an put the intake adapter to mass-airflow sensor an it will give you more hp then you have now.
Do the open airbox mod, and advancing the timing, that helped me a tad. I also stripped the interior if you really want to get a little and i mean "little" extra speed, it helps.
