Skip the Vanos bolts, do check the valve adjustment, DO a used oil analysis to look for excessive lead.

MODS: Skip the intakes they sound good but, cost you power on the dyno and cause drivability problems. Headers are a great mod I recommend the OEM Euro ones if you can find some. Tunes are hit and miss, my car makes the MOST power on OEM. As for exhaust expect drone with anything other than OEM or Remus.
Thanks Kenny. I was thinking of going to the motul brake fluid, I never ran it on my Infiniti but I've heard good things about it. There's a good chance this car will see track time so I'd like to be ready...

Is there any HP to be gained by an exhaust, or is it mainly for the note? I've searched but I couldn't find anything conclusive, which leads me to believe the stock exhaust is probably about as good as it gets on an otherwise OEM engine.
