Hey guys,

Just looking for some advice on what to start with for modifications. I have a stock r32 GTR and i am looking to purchase apexi airfilters, trust intercooler, full exhaust system and BOV's. Would these mods be a good start? Any opinions appreciated! Thanks

firstly,

cat back exhaust (or if you have the dough go for dumps, fronts, cat and the rest)

either a K+N in the stock air box, or the apexi pods if you must

then you'll want a boost controller of some kind

Power FC is next and couple that with a set of cam gears

forget the trust FMIC on an otherwise stock GTR it's a waste of time and money. there is nothing wrong with the stock GTR cooler under 300rwkw. no real need for the bovs either as the GTR alread has nice twin bovs from the factory but if you are keen just make sure you get a GTR specific kit. I quite like the trust type R kit, or the blitz super sequential is nice too. i can't stand the HKS ones though.

Yeah i was thinking of getting the trust Type R BOV's. Okay so i think i will get my Trust power extreme 2 cat back exhaust first with a high flow cat and a trust front pipe until i get paid <_< . My front mount seems a little dirty, im not sure if its still efficient.. how much does it cost to get it flushed and cleaned?

don't waste your money on aftermarket BOV's, your standard ones work a treat.

Pod filters, you don't have to, the mines car is still using the standard airbox with a panel filter upgrade. GT-R cooler is good for 300 odd kw, as mentioned above, the just jap race car still uses the stocker.

Go for an exhaust, aftermarket ECU, an EBC and some cam gears to start off with and then go from there. Next thing after that will probably be a fuel pump, clutch, maybe injectors, cams, more boost? upgraded turbos?

Anyone?

ok thanks for that! what sort of boost is it safe to run with the stock cooler? would something like a greddy emanage piggy back computer be good enough or should I go a full replacement computer? Im only looking to mildy mod my car. like 240kw or so?

the stock bnr32 intercooler should be for around 300rwkw

however the exhaust wheels on the 16 year old turbochargers wont be.

they will let go near 1.0 bar and then youll have to fork out for a new turbo (or a pair) and thats if it doesnt do any damage when it fails, which it has known to do on the rb26. more boost means more heat simple

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
