Father wants to upgrade his GT-R

Vegitto-kun

Yes I know that this is a 370 forum but my father is started to think about upgrading his GT-R.

+ I don't really know where I can fit it where plenty of people can share their ideas.


So yeah he is thinking about upgrading parts like brakes and so on. he is not really interested at really changing anything about the engine since he doesn't want to void the warranty on that(which I agree with)

So what parts/ companies do you advise.

One thing he seriously wants is a nice body kit.

or i can give you a general run down of the basics. really depends on his goals


i would say step 1 is a midpipe hands down .. they run $500-800 and give you around 15hp and a totally different sound for the car.. its past the O2 sensors so not really any type of issue... its probably the most common simple and effective mod GTR owners do.. and a nice catback to be added after that if you want a differnet exhaust look..

next a COBB flash usually 40-70hp and on up from a canned to custom tune with some bolt ons like downpipes.. Cobb with exhaust parts make of the vast majority of modded GTRs on NAGTROC



as far as bored with the looks.. besides wheels and carbon trim addons there isnt alot to be done with the car with out getting really expensive really fast.. we have a lot of vendors who offer carbon replacement wings and lips... and a bunch of wheels to choose from


when the time comes aftermarket rotors and pads are a cheaper and better peforming option than OEM... the stillen AP jhooks or vaned combined with some carbotech pads are probably the most cost efficeint to performance ratio way to go

thats a brief overview of the most popular tuning route for these cars

vegitto-kun- is that the current GT-R? wow

Vegitto-kun

Yeah.

this one

Why is the one license plate different than the other two?

Vegitto-kun

Because they first used the license plate they had on the megane because they were waiting for the custom one since they wanted 007-GTR but it took some weeks so they just put the license plate from the megane on it

You can take a look at our full GT-R catalog, with all kinds of upgrades..



As far as brakes, we have done a ton of the AP Racing Slotted or J-Hook rotor upgrades. They last longer than the factory setup, and are less expensive, and outperform. We also have different pad options.








We've done a video outlining some of the differences here: AP Racing GT-R Rotor Upgrade Video : STILLEN

Tell him "If it aint broke don't fix it! Get serious...he should be giddy to have a GTR!!!!! Definitly wouldn't make it cheesy with a body kit on a car that already looks better than most IMO.

Zsteve

IMO the GTR shouldnt be modded on its looks. Its way too nice and exotic to start changing its looks. The only think I would do to the GTR is chip it and be done with it.

Exactly. I know I wouldn't spend 80k+ for a car to change it looks! Maybe a lip kit at most and maybe a few engine mods like a CAI and exhaust..or maybe just HFCs and window tint. Sh*t, I'd (once again) kill for a GTR. I'm simple...that really is my dream car (besides the Audi R8 haha)

Once again? You've killed someone before? BAD Sophia

SophiaZ

"once again , as said before, I'd kill for a GTR" Oops, might have phrased that wrong..but I wouldn't mind doing something crazy for a GTR BUT it wont happen....I can learn to be content haha...ONE DAY

My dad is a odd guy. He already got bored of the GT-r's looks so he wants something to freshen it up

My opinion is the opposite. It is way too "normal" for such a beast. I probably would have looked at the GTR if its looks were a little more exotic and mean.

Again just my opinion.
