I have stock 1987 Nissan 2 seater. Took to the track for the 1st time for 2
hrs. Car has been restored with stock OEM part even stock tires size. No
mods! The car is strong but cornering is a bit soft. Running mostly on 3
rd gear with 2 hair pins on 2nd gear. Tires were brand new.
What I think:
1/ Suspension is a bit soft.
2/ Spinning tire on 2nd gear at hair pin a few times. (differential is not
limited slip I think)
3/ Speed is good on straight away.
4/ Brake is good

I would like to look at rear/front suspension and springs. Any suggestion?
I will replace throttle body with Nissan 200SX (wider throttle body as I was
told)

TMC makes a nice set of springs for these cars. Coupled with KYB struts,
makes a good compromise street performance setup and lowers the car a bit
as well.

Useless mod from my experience, the TB isn't the restriction.
