Thread: Getting Ready for a Tune Up

I'm getting ready for a tune up for my wife's 2000 G20.

I really need a new Fuel Filter but there are the other items that should be replaced while I'm at it.

Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Rotor Header
Rotor Cap
A/T Tranny Flush

Now I'm used to buying stuff from CourtesyParts.com, but they only sell Nissan parts, and when I looked at parts for B15 SR20's it looks like there are different versions of the RR.

Where do you guys get your tuneup parts from?

G Spec Performance Infact, I just bought everything for a complete tune-up from them today. All OEM goodness and cheaper than Courtesy.

Gonna send Greg a PM, looks like no fuel filter hehe.

Might as well just grab a 300zx fuel filter. OEM wires and NGK plugs are a must. Depending on her driving habits I'd use a 5 or 6 plug. Rotor and cap cant hurt as long as they are OEM. Tranny flush is a good idea. Make sure the air filter is clean, maybe spray the maf with the maf cleaner brakleen stuff. Then give the car a good eye over and she is good for quite a while.

Ditto on the 300zx fuel filter. I think that is the default filter Greg sends you when you tell him you need one.

Well here is the thing, the car only has 50k miles on it, 5 of which we put on. But the car stood for a year at a auction or dealer or insurance yard hehe.

It had platinum plugs from the manufacturer! We used to get 24mpg in city driving in the summer, it has dropped to 16-17 now days. I'm wondering if it was just Platinum plugs alone.

So far I replaced the O2 sensor with a 4 wire Bosch, grounded to the ECU ground. I think that helped a bit, will help more when I do the SSAC header on it haha.

I was reading about the fuel filter not doing too good when it stood for a while. So that's what is bringing me to this tune up.

I was about to buy another 300zx filter, but when I looked up part numbers between the G20 and SE-L it was different so I figured the Z32 might not fit hehe.

Plugs, I'm running OEM BKR6E plugs from G-Spec.
Air Filter is replaced with K&N Drop in filter
I'm running Mobile One Synthetic 5w-30 oil in the car.

I'm thinking about installing my spare AEM CAI on it, but I heard that P11's have too sensitive of MAF's. I am worried that my K&N drop in filter did some of the damage alone haha.

Well after driving 70 miles I noticed a great improvement in gas mileage and a descent SOTP improvement.

My gas mileage was 15-17mpg mixed driving. Today it was 19 MPG strictly city and with lots of flooring

Next is the rest of the tune up

Nice! I just got my tune-up stuff from Greg and I could not believe how big that fuel filter is! I guess I just assumed it was smaller. LOL

Haha yeah it's pretty big compared to the stocker

YO! CLEAN YOUR THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE MANIFOLD IF YOU CAN!!!!! YES IM SHOUTING!!! Seriously.... It makes a HUGE difference. Im pretty sure youve done it. If not. DO IT!
