Need advice on mods to do for $4-$5k on GTR

[mxfly]

Hi All,

Just about to purchase an R32 GTR. It's basically stock except for a 3" cat back exhaust (dont know what brand), aftermarket air filters and a 3" Trust intercooler. I'm looking to spend about 4-5k aus$ to hopefully get her up to about 240-260rwkw. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have to find a reputable workshop to undertake all the work. I've called around a few places but would like your ideas and experiences with workshops as well.

I cant wait until the delivery day! Looking at mid next week.

Cheers

Check out this R32 on Fullboost for a good example of what can be done to a GTR without spending too much.

how about boost controller and power fc? i think that would get u probably somewhere near that mark.

power fc or some ecu. it kept a smile on my face for a few weeks.

It's interesting to know from the fullboost article that the gtr achieved 240rwkw without using boost controller or power fc. I would have thought running at 17.5 psi a bit dangerous without a controller.

Silver-Arrowz, do you still have that smile on your face?

[Silver-Arrowz]

if it's still using stock turbos, 17.5 psi is a recipe for the ceramic turbo's to break. 14psi is about the limit.

Yeah that smile is still on my face from time to time now. It's the midrange power increase over stock that surprised me most.

Silver-Arrowz: Hence why Shaun blew it all not long after lol Anyways, probs ya best bet dude is to defiantely get a computer, and boost controller, but make sur eya go an electronic boost controller. If ya need anythin let me know, i can get Power FC Pro's with hand controllers s/h but near new, for around the $1600 mark which is a far cry from there real price and includes the Trust speed limit cut, and the boost controller and hand controller. Fitted and tuned will cost you around the $2100 mark... then grab yaself some BOV's, h/d clutch and a fornt pipe to finished off the exhaust. That should give you what u are after EASILY. L8ters J.
