Ok Is the GTS-T just a waist of time Obviously GTRs Are better.. Since I dont have enough dough to get one at the moment...blah blah. For all the typeM GTS-T R32 owners out there..besides slapping a RB26DETT in it...what can be done to bring this relic into the 500HP class?? I'm thinking about finally getting an after market turbo..and intercooler, I need some suggestions here...
Boosting at 1bar..via ProfectB
HKS P-FLOW intake
Kakimoto exaust/ no cat
SAFC/Apexi
HKS BOV SEQ
Potenza suspen
front/rear JIC strut
and the list needs to grow but looking for ideas.

BOV, rear strut are a waste of money.
Get some N2O, with the ProfectB, exhaust, engine management system, electric fan, under drive pullies, apex air filter, and synthetic fluid (not Mobile, Penzoil, or Castrol) in your whole drive train(engine, tranny, and rear end).

It's not obvious to me. :p I could have bought a GTR (R32), but instead chose to get an R33 GTS25t. Judging by the two GTRs I've driven, they're not impressive unless you go really hard (one of them in particular, prolly cos of the circuit suspension it had). I actually find mine much more pleasant to drive, and it still pulls like a schoolboy.
A bit more boost/bigger turbo, with the associated intercooling, fuelling and engine management to support it, and you'll be sweet. My 25t pulled 173kw at the wheels with pod filter and cat-back exhaust. Getting rid of the cat has gained me another pound of boost, and more response, and it's now prolly in the region of 180kw at the wheels, or about 300hp (engine) in the old money, out of a little 2.5 litre with only one turbo. - And it's RWD :D :D
And you don't need /shouldn't want nitrous!! :p
Just remember, the closer to 500 hp you get, the less pleasant it's going to be to drive on anything other than a dragstrip.
