All,

Well after a 5 month long winded process the GTR is finally here, any you guessed it, its time for MODS!

The Vspec II and correct me if im wrong already has the following upgrades. Carbon bonnet and diffuser. Larger exhaust housing on the turbo's, slightly upgraded oil & water pump (An extra fin I have been told), larger rear brakes, more aggressive suspension (Lower and harder).

After Market, it already has HKS pods, 3 1/2 zorst, header pipes, twin plate ceramic clutch and magnesium wheels.

My thought on upgrades are as follows.

HKS GTSS turbo’s

HKS dumps

7.5lt cat

POMCAM's 264 stage 1 drop in's

PFC

Blitz dual solenoid boost kit

600cc Inj

Oil cooler

sump baffle

Surge protector

Metal head gasket.

Im basically ready to buy the parts so let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Carlo,

I think Im happy with the STD PFC and I was never happy with my old Apexi PFC Boost kit.

Red,

I cant fit the fluro's under the car, the carbon fibre under bady is in the way, Damm!

how about some Tomei cam gears??

the Normal V Specs also have the carbon fibre diffuser as well... don't know if the 2's had a different design but I'd be surprised if it did. The 2 also has an electronically controlled rear diff

also the bonnets have the small vent in them on the passenger side from factory... didn't think they were carbon fibre though???

Yeah mine has the carbon rear-diffuser and electronic rear diff as well. Don't know if either of them changed for the V2.

GTR bonnets are aluminium until the V-SpecII which is carbon fibre. The M-Spec goes back to aluminium but probably had a CF option.

GTR-Boy,

Im looking for two things, a 4 ft tall sticker that says RICE. I want to put it the R on the boot IC on the roof and the E on the bonnet. I also need a green fluro under the car that spells "IM a Spanka" do you think you can source them?

Keep up the good work!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
