Mod Vs Stock Gtr

[Birds]

Exactly. And most of the stuff you want to do will most probably be done

lol yeah it's not as if people don't do the same farking mods anyway. Oh you went with -7s instead of -5s? You're an "individual"!

Save the "make it your own car" bullshit for aesthetics. Unless you're custom making mechanical parts, it's been done before.

If your going to mod anything at all on it, then go modded already. Let someone else take the financial hit. Just make sure you research the car as you should with either type and know what you're buying.

Modded doesn't have to mean 700kw, single turbo, HKS track suspension beast. (Although do want!)

There are some really well put together modded GTR's that would ride/drive similar to a stock car, but you usually have more power and in a lot of cases, better than stock parts.

It's a no brainer.

As per the above few opinions. I agree.

I drove lot of trackdays back in the day on including DECA's. The car was imported with all of the mods I wanted at the time. Drove it and changed a few things over the years.

In the end I never had to replace the engine, clutch, gearbox, diffs etc. All I upgraded was brakes, wheels and suspension in 7 years of owning it.

Why buy a stock car when for the same money or 5k-10k more you can buy a car with 20-40k worth of mods done to it. If you don't like certain parts sell them and buy what your after. It doesn't cost much to swap parts. It costs a lot to buy them outright!

Lots of you say standard cars are better but you end up with a weaker engine, turbos, clutch, diff etc than a modified car. I don't get your logic as all of your standard parts will break or need replacing due to power restrictions. So your going to be buying the parts anyway and spending money.

Why not just buy a complete wisely modified car and drive it instead of it always sitting in a workshop costing you money never being driven.

I know which I'd prefer....

Guessing like 99% of GTR owners you won't work on the car yourself so add this up.

Turbos installed $3000

PFC, AFM's and injectors $3000 inc tune

Forged pistons, oil pump etc $7000-$10000 installed

Twin or triple clutch upto$3000 installed

100mm FMIC $1000

Oil cooler $500-$1000

Exhaust $1000-$3000 with dumos

Wheels forged 18x10 with good tyres $3000plus

Brakes $2000-$5000

Suspension $2000-$5000

Gauges and boost controllers $1000plus

Plus all the other little bits and pieces.

All so you can have a car worth 5-10k more. Or the other options is as others have said. Keep all the standard parts and put it back to stock as I have done in the past to several cars. The owners were all warm and fuzzy thinking they bought a stock never modified car. The truth was....we all know the answer to that

I never buy toys so I can tell my mates about how cool it is and baby them around because I can't afford to have them break.

Oooo such an easy question to answer... if you plan to modify it, just go talk to any gtr owner - theyll tell you to buy a clean one that's already modified. You'll save a truckload of cash. I once read that you couldn't afford to own a GTR unless you could afford to buy 2. I've owned mine for 10 months, bought it with some clean mods and already spent another 20k on it which I'll never see again

yep very true i baught mine with all the supporting mods and still spend a sh*t load more lol its addictive

definitely modded over stock! If you dont like the mods on it its much cheaper to sell those parts and buy the ones you want than to buy them outright. A lot of very good points being made for modded so i think the choice should be very simple for you. Now stop being scared and go buy the baddest mo fo gtr you can!

[lav]

LOL!!!!

Well, guess what, i bought a "stock" GTR. Stock as they said, but until you don't open the engine, you never know....

And it was a bit too late i read the comments about stock vs modded, but hey, thanks a lot for all your opinions!!!!

you guys are awesome in giving ideas/opinions LOL!

[Sunkist]

Awesome! Congrats! Post pics.

[dkbcleaner]

lol either way congrats man. You'll love the car!
