I haven't really posted any updates on my GTR, but it's changed quite a bit from the last time I posted here. This isn't going to be a long winded post, I'll just hit a couple highlights

It didn't take me long to mod my car... I waited to about 2-3k miles (have 8k on her now) before I went to a full bolt-on setup (full exhaust, downpipes, intake, tune, larger FMIC and fully ported manifold)

And then this past weekend, I set a new record for a stock turbo, 93 octane GTR... I ended up going 10.025 @ 135.12mph (here's a video of that run). My next goal is to be the first into 9's (stock turbo, 93 octane) then move on to e85, and eventually bigger turbos (w/ built trans and motor)

Here's some newer pics of the car too (trunk is different now):

Not a fan of those wheels, but otherwise looks awesome.

Any vids of the run on youtube?

Very nice! knocking on the door is an understatement. I did not see much slip or anything obvious to put you under the mark. Nice job.

I just need to get my 60ft down to a 1.45 range and I'll get it eventually weather permitting

Awesome

Pls go here and take in car video too hehe

Normally, I'd agree, but the GTR is one of those rare exceptions for me.

Looks great OP.

Great car and all but GTR does nothing for me, yours is no exception.

Just something about the styling of Nissan's that makes me want to puke.

Just me though.

Looks fun. I can't be responsible in a car like that I know I'd do something awful inside of 6 months.

Lots of questions...

1) What camera/lens was used?
2) Caps+NOVA+6-figure car and mods = campaign strategist? Lawyer? NSA contractor for Booz?
3) I may be able to answer the former with the another question: Is Edward Snowden a traitor or a hero?

I like the car, when I see these they always remind me of my twin brothers adopted son, who claims that he will one day, but doesn't put any value on his education.

Not sure you can hold that against him.
