  1. I'd contact a reputable supplier and talk through what you're doing so they can make sure you've got all the adapters etc to go through.  Kudos are very helpful.  Just think through your goals - -5,-7,-9 all have different characteristics (comes down to lag and top end power).  -7 and -9's from memory are like HKS GTSS and Nismo N1 turbo's so are great upgrades but aren't high power but you get a very linear power curve.  -5's are a tad laggier but get the higher power easily.  There is heaps of info on the dyno charts page. 

     

    Weigh it all up though - a single might still be cost effective when you consider all of the labour (and future labour) and the supporting mods you have to do anyway like ECU, fuel pump, injectors, cam gears.  You probably want to check if factory dumps and exhaust will flow well enough so if you're changing that, then you may be better off with single as well.

  2. 500hp is pretty easy to get to these days but assuming cheap and reliable is a balancing act.  Depending on the past life of your car, you could get there.  I got to close to that with garret twins (-5s), intercooler (wasn't really a limiting factor though), exhaust, fuel pump, fuel reg, cam gears, injectors and ecu and that was BP98.  With e85, it should be much easier.  As others have said, think about ongoing flexibility and try and buy things that will support a change in mind.  ECU, decent in-tank pump (E85 compatible), fuel reg, exhaust, intercooler won't really down the track so you're better off getting these right. 

  3. I always notice more than others but its close enough.

    The panel beater ordered the paint through their supplier who ordered part of the mix from Nissan (from memory).  The minimum size of whatever came from Nissan had to be 650mL - $495 which was more than enough for my repair.  Total cost for the bumper including a $30 V-Spec decal from Nissan was $1000 4 years ago.

  4. True.  I had the standard flaking problem so was able to get the replacement bits sent to me.  Not sure on whats going on with yours.  You can try joining the R34 GTR Owners clubs on Facebook and try there - few more owners and issues shared there.  Then you'll know what to order.
