Father wants to upgrade his GT-R

ZKindaGuy

A little more exotic????? It doesn't have an exotic line or profile to it so how can it be "a little more" exotic??????

I was being politically correct. Ok, to be exact,

"it is ugly, no lines to it, it looks cheap, and done half-azzzzzd."



it needs a body kit!!!!!!!!!!

Umm you think the gTR looks better than most?? hahahaha the only reason to buy one is simply the performance... but to each their own...

Just because we can afford Zs and drool over GTRs does not mean the ppl who afford them arnt drooling over a Lambo or Porsche... its all relative - to a guy driving a civic (an enthusiast) pines over Zs and would love to accept the Z in standard form... but as every owner of every car is going to want something unique - you will see many such customizations...

SophiaZ

No, I do agree in a way..but really?!! Just becuz I like Z's and want a GTR..doesn't mean I don't drool over a Porshe or Audi ( LAMBO? haha.. does anyone still want them? Played out) ANYWHO....I'm not saying the dude that wants a kit is stupid or any other offensive word, I just believe that..well for 1- maybe the owner should be on here discussing this..and 2- too each, their own. Isn't this site based on facts, HELP, and mostly..OPINIONS?!! Cuz this is surely what I get out of it. Not taking offense to your words of wisdom (which is what my name means BTW haha) but I'm giving my opinion. he asked, I WILL give. No, I'm not expert on cars and how to build a 1000hp car..but I do know taste..and TASTE is kept clean. No need for a kit IMO, but it's not my choice. Good luck to him..it could look good with one, but I still like the stock look

About anything will void the warranty on the GTR...

Nice~~!

Everything is relative.. I'm sure there is a guy in a Sentra saying if he was driving a 370Z he would be happy with it as is.. because the level of performance is on a different level.. kinda the same with the GT-R.

It can ABSOLUTELY big improved upon, but like anything takes the right product selection, and factoring in what the vehicle's plans are.

Take for example our Carbon Ceramic Brake Rotor upgrade.. one of (if not the only) aftermarket Carbon Ceramic upgrade in the world, when you normally find these setups on high end Ferrari's and the supercars of the world.

May seem expensive up front, but these rotors basically don't wear out, as the factory ones do, so over owning the car for years, this is actually an economic upgrade, in addition to the superior performance (and coolness factor.. )

GTR is a beast but looks ugly. Get a Zele bodykit for it!

ZKindaGuy

It looks like a cross between a 350Z front with a Vette back. The flow of the overall lines just doesn't match moving from front to back of the car. It's as if there were two designs and it was decided a compromise would have to do. Real FUGLY for sure...

The GT-R should have never happened and the current engine of the GT-R should have been dropped into the Nismo Z and that become the high-sport end for Nissan to capitalize upon. Call it the Nismo 370Z GT-R.

He should first get a tune.
Best bang for the buck.
Then he can start with some boltons.
Cosmetics come later imo!

haha i quite like the tommy kaira kit for the gt-r. i think its nice a subtle but it DEFINITELY sets you apart from other gt-r owners. on the pricy side tho as most japanese import stuff.

SophiaZ

OK, fine..I do like that kit. But there's nothing wrong with stock. But yea..that is hot

UNKNOWN_370

1st thing he said was no engine work. He doesn't want to void warranty. That includes the ecu... Besides throttle response is ridiculous in a GTR. Acceleration is top notch. The best way to go is customizable suspension, brake upgrades, and if you do bodykit. Make sure its functional. Don't go just for looks.

Really though, on a car like a GT-R. I would keep it "100% JDM"

Zsteve

I think the chip will do wonders for its 1/4 mile time. And with the AWD it will probably still not spin or bog down witht the extra tq.

you may destroy the transmission but... =)

Personally I feel our car looks better, for the Nismo maybe they should have put the gtr engine into the Z...

and they should make a gtr nismo with 6 turbos... one for each cylinder... that would be awesome...
