Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What must I service before power mods on a Z32?

Timing belt, water pump, idlers/tensioner, cam/crank seals, and coolant hoses are essential. Verify compression/leakdown and fix oil/coolant leaks before tuning.

NA vs TT—does the upgrade path differ?

TT models respond quickly to intake, downpipes, intercoolers, and tuning. NA cars focus on breathing, weight reduction, and gearing; FI conversions require comprehensive supporting mods.

Are head studs and gaskets needed at higher boost?

For elevated boost or track abuse, quality head gaskets/studs add margin. Pair with improved cooling and conservative ignition mapping.
