for one thing, do a search. and for another, just get a cold air intake, exhaust, and header. probly set you back anywhere from $1000 to 1500. those are your basic bolt on power adders. all you can do is go up from there.

that would work.

if your really serious, just strap on a turbo kit. or get N02'd.

no2 is good for some people, but he said more power for around town.
i dont like the idea of praying 15 bux worth of no2 just to pass grandma's town car.
go for a cam and bigger injectors

yeah i hate nitrous. its just not my thing. i do wanna put some new cams in but i really dont have all that much money anymore to spend on my car. i need some cheaper upgrades. maybe stock parts from like infinitys or something i can get from junkyards. or more 300z parts.... i had to spend all my money to get me out of jail.... i made a boo boo....

well, you've basicly passed the "cheap" mods. i can't think of anything else that will really help out... you could try taking all the slack out of your throttle cable. it'll give you a better response, obviously.

have you put a bugger throttle body on yet?
that would give you a little more power, but you have done most of the air upgrades, now get some fuel to your engine!
like that guy said, you have done most of your "cheap" upgrades already.
not a power adder, but have you gotton a anti-sway bar yet?
best $20 bux you can spend on handling.

you guys know you just cant install bigger injectors and call it a day right? whats the point of having bigger injectors if the computer doesnt know that they are there?
cams are the same way just about. youll spend 600 dollars and get 4-5 hp out of them. you will need a modded ecu to really notice them. even then, they work better with forced induction than they do n/a.
nitrous is a cheap yet effective way of getting more power. it doesnt take "15 dollars a pop to pass grandmas car either. i ran at the track last weekend and pulled a 14.1 out of my altima in the 1/4 mile. not bad for a 4 door.
basically, all of the bolt ons is all you can do for now until you decide you want forced induction of some kind or you want to do some internal work. the ka24de is not the easiest engine to make powerful cheaply. it will take some money and time.

its expensive and once its done, its almost a never ending process. seeing the problems that people have with their turbo'd ka's was my main motivation for going the nitrous route. youll spend between 2500-3900 dollars to do it right and youll still want more boost when its done.
