Matt's GTR Build

[Matts96HB]

Please tell me you got laid after that. lol

The back seats may not be worth a damn in the GTR, but I've discovered that the front seats are multi-purpose.

put a ring on it

so much for me wanting to drive it now. well, maybe i'll drive. i've lost the desire to sit anywhere near the passenger seat.

Lol

No church to be seen and there's a hood on the car but here's an artsy fartsy pic from the other night and an interior shot

we can go to autozone and get some @Taco15 -special seat covers

 

[Matts96HB]

They had better have a pretty wicked flame pattern on them

This first pic would be so much cooler with a fluorescent flood light behind the camera to bathe the car

Bought a Cobb AccessPORT today. I'm planning on running their "Stage 1" off the shelf tune until I get some other go fast bits.

4" exhaust (from midpipe back) will be next on the list. There's a vendor on GTR life that makes a pretty nice piece; I'm looking at ordering one in the next two weeks. Or intakes. I'm not sure yet. Lol

 

[Matts96HB]

Found some AAM 3" intakes that will be next if I can get a decent deal on them. But they're powder coated green. Gross.

 

[Matts96HB]

AAM 3" intakes on the way

 

[Briansol]

is it not fast enough out of the box? :X

 

[Matts96HB]

Did you really think I was going to leave it stock?

 

[Briansol]

honestly, if i bought a gtr, i probably wouldn't do anything to it. it's already fast enough, handles rediculous...

 

[Matts96HB]

It is an insanely fun car right out of the box. But I'm an enthusiast and an engineer, man. Half the fun of owning a vehicle is tinkering with it and making it 'my own'.

I'd do the same thing with an 80s Sentra or a Veyron.

This IS a build thread after all.

Looks like I can expect to be at ~530 whp (stock 2012s make 530 at the crank) after the intakes and an OTS Stage 2+ map from COBB. Not bad for ~$1,100 total investment. I'm also going to flash LC6 into the TCM to see if that gives me a little better bite on launch.

Now I just need to make it through one more week of work..

 

[Xanatos]

Yeah I gotta agree with Matt... mod everything haha.

 

[Briansol]

I get it.. I just don't think it really needs to be 'improved'. At least not right away. I'd enjoy getting used to it stock for a while, and then when it got 'old', give it something new to make me love it again.

I guess you could say the same thing about a lambo and dudes are TT'ing those.

I remember feeling that way when I had my C63. lol Then I chipped it for 515hp a few weeks later.

Nice GTR man!
