Changing Sensors

Hiya Guys,

I finally thought out my decision and I am going to keep my car. I put too much into her to sell it off so soon. So I figured I am going to change all the sensors and injectors to help her last a while longer. In your opinions what do you think I should change?

So far I figured this:
Plugs
Timing Belt
EGR Valve
PCV Valve
O2 Sensor
Fuel Filter
Throttle Position Sensor
Injectors

If there is anything else I should change please tell me. I want the car to drive like it's new again, or as close to that as possible. I think I am going to get that engine treatment done at the dealearship.
And if I get all these parts put in should I have the computer reset? Or is there something special I should do after the new parts are installed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated because I suck when it comes to mechanics.

you would probably have to get most of that stuff from the dealer (i could be wrong) and they charge a lot. i would personaly, if i would want my car to run like new and last a while, get a rebuilt engine. i think at that nippon website they sell our engine for 750 (vg) i'm not sure how much the ve is, and since you said timing belt i'm sure you have a vg.

You probably should try and clean the injectors before you decide to replace them all. I talked to a nissan mechanic... he says the TPS rarely goes bad so you may not need to replace that. Same goes with the EGR.

That's a good idea. Today I bought the Fuel Filter, Timing Belt, PCV Valve, a new air filter & a new cap and rotor. I am doing this in stages, I am going to stockpile all the parts and then one day go to my mechanic and have him dump everything in while I am at work.

Heehee
