Standard plennum will get you there no need to waste ya money on other shinny things. Cooler depends on your price bracket, all of the above are more than capable and as for a radiator if you can get ya hands on a koyo copper core item that would be the best. Again it all comes down to budget but having a 600-700kw vehicle will always be a costly excercise.

Will the stock plenum really see 700kw? This seems like a legit question that nobody is too interested in answering lol.

Alternatively OP can check the results thread and find cars like the yellow nitto R34 which has that sort of power.. Can just see what sort of cooler/radiator/plenum he is running as an idea.

Hard to answer it when honestly how many on here have done it.

If you want to spend the coin keeping 6 throttles is better for the street so the Nismo plenum would be best.

A friend of mine made 1300hp with one of those KU Engineering plenums which is single entry. Not very 'street' friendly at that power level though.

Intercoolers basically comes down to what you want to spend. Koyo Rads are well proven items too.

Also curious as to what hot side you intend to make the power with?

Ha, I got nothing to prove, have already run n easy 10 second pass with a lot less power then what u are aiming for n u will never get traction.

Runs day in day out with not a single issue 3 years on

U may aswell of just kept your gtr n put in a 2wd switch coz the gtst has all gtr body work, gtr motor but none if the traction advantage

Oh n atleast I'm not scared to drive mine down the strip either. Y build a car then what someone else to run it for u, defeats the purpose

    • Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage 
    • Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!
    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
