The water pump and throttle position sensor are the only two replacements I have performed, along with routine maintenance.
My Nissan has outperformed most other light duty pickups and a few fullsize's as well, a 1/4 mile at a time.
My nissan will go 98mph in the 1/4 mile race track and it's stock with only a modified exhaust.
Hey, my buddy has an 87 D21 hard body we put exhaust on it and thats it, and we run low 12's on an 1/8 we are looking for performance parts if you know where we can get them email me at css_shorter@yahoo.com.
