R31Nismoid Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 By the sound of it, you'd be best off spending that $1000 on a full service. Belts, pads, fuilds (diff/gerabox) etc. Get it reliable before you go chasing power.

frozenpod Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I dissagree, factory tunning is quite ok for BPU. Without a bucket load of tuning time with the power FC the quality of the tune will never be quite like factory. As you already have an exhaust and only 1k to spend I would install a really good FMIC add a little boost.

PM-R33 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The factory cooler is more than adequate for a stock GTR. An aftermarket ECU will give you the best bang for buck if power is what you are after, however the $1000 won't really get you there.

frozenpod Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Sorry missed the GTR part, yep stock GTR cooler is very good. Add boost then keep saving for tunning.

You still got stock ceramic turbos in your GTR? If so, don't waste money on bleed valve - just pull the restrictor (next right strut tower, there is a solenoid with 2 hose - you'll feel one of hose is bit hard to squeeze, the hose next to plenum, it may have yellow marking) pulling it off will give you safe 14psi. Also do you have aftermarket (at least 3") front pipe? 14psi + full exhaust (don't worry about dump pipes as they're really good) + Power FC and tune = 240-250kw. Save up a bit more and do above.
