Hey all,

I've kinda got to the point now where i've got to decide whether to keep modding my 32 gts-t or consider it finished. I think the car's potential was always limited (due to it's age and my budget).

When i got it the car had:

Apexi pod filter

Custom mild steel cat-back with Xforce cannon.

Unknown aftermarket shocks (pink in colour.. were on the car when imported apparently)

GTR Wing

GTR front bumper (missing lower lip)

Now the car also has:

Custom box and cold air intake

Greddy FMIC

Turbotech boost controller (set to 15psi)

R33 GTR Fuel pump

RB25 turbo

JustJap split dump pipe

Xforce HiFlow Cat

Greddy PE2 Catback (replaced droning Xforce)

Locked HICAS

18" DTM Wheels with Federal 595's

GTR Front lip (painted black to match car)

Midnight express tinting

MOMO Race steering wheel

nismo shift knob

6 speaker mp3 stereo

I've also ground and bogged a small amount of rust, and removed the aftermarket radio antenna the previous owner cut into the car :blink:

I've had the car almost a year now and i'm pretty happy how it's developed. Question is, what (if anything) do i still need to do to it?

I'm considering strut braces and maybe some slotted rotors... but not sure it's needed. It might be time to just start saving for a new beast. What do you all think?

dont waste time with a 25, if you want save for an R34 Gtt, or a 32 GTR, depends on your budget.

But it sounds like your happy with the car as is, im sure youd be happy to further mod it, but if your not craving it might aswell stop and save for bigger and better :P

No point in building a 30 unless you are already up for a rebuild. They are however, a LOT of fun in a 32gtst.

If you like the car and plan on keeping it, give it a much needed power upgrade, dropping a 25 in there is the smartest move :thumbsup:

drop the boost down to 12-13 psi, 15 is just blowing hot air?

at least get a safc2 then u will have a decent power upgrade

after that its pretty much done for stage 1

next step is turbo upgrade along with supporting mods or engine swaps

can sell it and for the price of a engine swap u can pick up a r33 (best bang for buck cars imo)

stronger box, phatter engine, modern interior

32 GTR or 34 GT-T pending budget is also very nice!

    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments   
    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......
