I wouldn't stress too much at this stage about getting a retune. If your looking at getting a cooler im guessing your still fairly early off in the mod stage. Depending on your goals if your sticking with the standard turbo id finish all your mods then retune so you only hve to do it once. If your changing turbos and going a bit more extreme then id worry about tuning when you get to that stage. No point wasting money getting a tune everytime you do something.

I had my front mount and exhaust all put in at the same time, when i took it out for the first time afterwards the only difference i noticed was getting a bit more boost and the car was louder. Lol. At that level the parts didnt adversly affect the car much

Dont bother getting a cooler if your not gonna get a tune really.

Stock one is fine for an un-tuned car.

If you get a FMIC, do it justice and get it tuned. Otherwise there is little point in getting one in the first place

Idle will be fine, no effect there.

Was just curious because we all know the 33 ecu is diff to 32 ( 32 can take more boost where 33 cuts out when too much) but in that case ill be installing cooler haha........ im trying hard to make car look good as....... its got gtr front bodykit......... gtr rims........... blitz nur spec r exhaust.... engine wise got noting extra.....dont really want to as im on my p's...wanna wait till 21 then get gtr....for now just minor mods.....

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
