havent read all the responses on this thread, but if your father is looking to upgrade his gtr, the first thing he wants to get is a cobb. its the best thing EVARRRR lol. depending on how much he wants to spend, the next thing he should get are a midpipe and downpipes. I have this setup with a custom tune from Jack Cecil at HorsepowerLogic (in south florida, but he tunes around the world) and my car runs high 10's in the 1/4, completely reliable and safe, and im around 530whp on a mustang dyno. PM me if you want more detailed info and more support.

I think the GT-R looks great stock; adding a body kit just makes it look juvenile / tacky.

If he wants to upgrade anything it should be the audio system. Contact me and I can take care of it for him. No joke.

brakes have been picked and are being installed.



+ new brakepads, I don't know what brand but they were red.

He is also getting his calipers painted red and he got some limited edition BBS rims, only 25 made for europe

More performance can be had with components and a quality build, for a lot less..

I'd encourage you to contact Sean Morris, our GT-R specialist here at STILLEN, we brought him on for his knowledge and depth of the GT-R.

His email is seanm@stillen.com, I guarantee he'll be a valuable resource for you.

Well my father doesn't really like dealing with english speaking people since he doesn't understand any of the language and he doesn't trust me with advice on his car.

We currently are working together with a GT-R/Z tuner here who has always worked on them and has a high reputation of 0 engine failures.

He can pretty much do anything, installing kits, customizing engines, enlarging them (he is working on a 4.2 liter 350Z currently) making custom pistons and stuff.

but advice is always welcome since that guy I work with isn't a elitist *******

lol necro post but felt like updating the state of the GT-R

My father has now ordered

HKS intercooler



HKS dumpvalves



HKS racing suction intake



and custom COBB tuning

and after a year or two when he gets tired of the mods he will

rebuild his engine with mods by some company named JUN or something and put on

HKS GT800 GTII Turbo Kit



and stuff like gearbox cooling, reinforcing the gearbox and so on.
