- This is the most important video I could make on the GTRs. So many people buy these cars not knowing how much it takes to maintain and modify these monsters. I hope the information is informative and entertaining.

this is my experience with my GTR-- it cost me about $4,600 to get 700hp from Speed By Design, the SBD700 kit they sell.. I rebuilt my Trans (shep) for $4,000 to handle 800+whp/700whp Tq. .. PURE turbos sell upgraded turbos for $3500 and you don't need to upgrade anything if you are already FBO.. and that gets you 800whp E85 .. So for a grand total of $12k(ish) you have a reliable AF 800whp GTR.. that's not bad!.. but yes for 1000whp, will most likely build the engine. Everyone's builds are different, but that's where I stand as of now. I hope that helps someone looking to build a GTR for 800whp :)
Info please? 🙏
?
That is a respectful build
Thank You for this comment!
I think fbo and tune is the best for reliability, and budget power!
I spent $4600 in parts by SBD (Speed By Design) intakes, down pipes, mid pipes, injectors, fuel pumps, ecutek and e85 controller. 700hp, 650tq. NOT $10,000... not unreliable and not “poor quality”. But yes this doesn’t include labor, this is assuming you’re putting it all on yourself.
Another great video . Thanks 🙏
Thank you!!
Great video. Very interesting. Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video man great info
Thank you!
Thanks for the info, I am planning on buying a new 2024 Gtr, with future mods in the works. This vid was very helpful regarding the transmission mods.
Huge thank you for making this video man. I’m in the market for a GTR within the next year and all the info you shared was great! Keep up the good work!
You end up getting the GTR?
Unfortunately no, ended up having a kid and couldnt stomach a car more than my mortgage sitting in the garage 6 days a week. Mustang guy for now but I’ll get a GTR later on in life
Good video man
Thank you!
Great video !
Thank you sir!
Will be in one soon thank you
Greatly appreciate the information!!! I'm thinking of pursuing one already modified. Maybe a 2014. Would love a 2018 or newer but just too much to spend right now.
Very helpful bro
Thank you!
Thanks man for the shout out, greatly appreciated! You did a nice job covering everything, seems like you got your ducks in a row. Keep up the good work, it is a learning process everyday for me with this car. Doug Ross was my tuner and unfortunately he passed away 2 days after I was hanging out with him. The tune is what really brings personality to this car... mods are mods, and yes you are right do not cheap out on the parts, avoid amazon at all costs! but then again I spent $1600 on a custom stainless steel 4” v-band Racing exhaust (everything deleted) and it seeded just fine with my catless AMS DP, works great. If I can provide any advice... keep all your OEM parts!! I cannot stress enough how much you will need to keep these parts in case something fails and you need to bring it to the dealership. Also keep a close eye on your bolts... the 12mm bolts for the diffuser for example are $9 a piece plus shipping!
But if you are every in NY westchester area come through, I am sure we can go hours talking about this car.
I’m glad you said that I was actually contemplating selling the parts! I will definitely hit you up if I’m ever in NY, never been there actually. I’m sorry to hear about your friend brother
No worries bro, the cruises here are beautiful like your supra review video. I usually go up to West Point area and support our troops by giving it the ol’GT-R pop bang solute. But again, keep up the videos, you are good people. And shoot me a DM if you ever are in the area or need help!
I love your videos, best regards from another GTR owner :) by the way, you are the man ;)
Thanks man!! Means a lot! What year is yours?
I'm driving a white 2015 with stage 6 ecutek 😀
hamid bakrani whats a stage 6??
Its same like yours (everything you have in your car) but with e85 :)
Here you have a link, i didnt tune my car there but i have alsmoste the same parts. MAD SWEDEN tuned my car :) www.jrm-racing.se/nissan/r35-gt-r/trim/jrm-steg-6-r35-gt-r
He absolutely makes a lot of good points, my 16 gtr is a bone stock garage queen sitting on air, my goal with the car is to stare at and pet goodnight everyday
Yep, same here. We basically save the car for the nxt owner... Reminds me when I used to own my M3 E92. This car had been petted by me like crazy, no high RPM ( max 4-5k ) no cold stomping, no shut off before a few seconds in idle. Rodbearing changed, Brakediscs changed, new tires and wheels, new steering wheel, shifter, exhaust....You can say I respected that car, like a family member.
Then time to sell and move on came. Sold the car with tears in my eyes. On the same day, I recieve a whatsapp from the new owner proudly presenting him doing Donuts on a parking lot.
Man... this almost ripped my heart apart...
thats funny. My orange 17 GTR is stored outside in the snow and I drive it constantly, even when there is salt on the roads. I bought mine to drive it.
@Edgar Roy did it work lmao
He's basically pointing out all the same information that's been out there for years that he ignored until after buying his. If you've already done your research you probably know more than this guy lol.
Bruh, it’s a 370.......just kidding!!
Good content. Keep it up! I learn a lot watching your GT-R videos. Mainly, what NOT to do 😆😂🤣
Thats what makes it fun! lol Welcome!
Hey man any info on the shep 1k? Can I daily drive mine with it? Haven’t seen much info about them
Amazing how people modify the heck out of the car without doing research. My 2014 I brought new not a freaking issue, no money pit for me, and it's a garage King all GTRs are male do your research😄. Thanks for the video it reinforces what I already knew, leave it stock okay okay transcooler and Stillen exhaust 👍😄
Glad I can help you save money lol
I have the same 18 nismo track edition and zero mods as keeping the warranty protected. Love your videos 👍👍
By the way 570bhp is more than enough for UK roads 💪
Thank you! What color is yours?
@@LextasyNation it's red too
Nice! Hopefully yours doesn’t have 20k miles on it 😂
I have owned a GTR for 13 years.. car has been perfect, never an issue… 700 hp and 40,000 miles and bulletproof….
13y 40k miles, it's really impressive.
Great video and thanks! Do your research for sure. So much misinformation from suppliers saying they’ll get xx horsepower. And yup, 23k AMS Omega 11 (with everything needed), 18k stage 2 transmission, labour etc. It def adds up but still faster and cheaper than most Lambos and Ferraris lol! Next will be bottom end but that’ll be another 15k if you want to do it right.
Oh and Cobb doesn’t offer anything past stage 2 FBO anymore.
It's definitely not cheap, and the more you put into it, the harder it will break. Most track guys are just buying a used 09-11 and use the extra money on building it. But they can't ever replace the performance when they move on. They just end up with louder cars.
Haha exactly!
That’s what I did. Have to do the trans on them all eventually anyway lol
Thanks for sharing, I’ve kinda seen some of the GTR weakness when trying to add power and finding out you need blank checks to get it where you would want it… I wonder if a GTR would keep up with a m3 comp x drive $ for $ in mods. M3 needs lunch money for the kind of power your talking about spending 10k for at a shop with that GTR.
That is a good comparison. I just bought another GTR so we will see how this one goes. I’ll try to find a M3 comp to race with same bolt ons
Great Video...I'm looking at picking up a 17 or 18 and this will help. Any other items to be aware of say versus a Nissan dealer, Other Dealer or Private? Thx Have a Great Day
Well I figured buying a from a dealership meant it was inspected to be in tip top shape...turns out the dealers don’t even know what to look for. The video link in my description goes over all the things already wrong with my car and what to look out for, that should help you out a ton
@@LextasyNation thx
Omg I left a comment on here 8 months ago a couple months after I got my car and I put approximately 725 miles on my car since then, I just watched this video in it’s entirety and I’m now so stressed out and my anxiety is through the roof 🤣
Hahahaha sorry bro!
Great video very informative good job. This is the very reason I purchased 911 Turbo S 991.2. Better and faster than the stock GTR and nicer looking. It’s a GTR killer any day.
Exactly why in my next video going up today that’s one of my options for my next car
that is the reason why you get destroyed by GTRs all day every day. Nobody keeps GTR's stock. Good luck modding a Porsche. LMFAO!!!
Maybe stock but try to race a 1000hp gtr
Porsches dont look better in my opinion than a GTR , plus how much extra is that Turbo s porsche than a GTR , about £30-40k , its not worth it , give me the GTR anyday and spend the extra on mods ,
Great video btw , i will hopefully be going upto 820bhp in my GTR ,but i hear they do advise rods replacing ?
Hi Lex is it possible to just change the mid pipe , maybe do intakes and a stage 1 or 2 tune. Will that get you to 600 hp? If you leave the exhaust ( it is titanium) now you can keep your exhaust switch. Your thoughts? Phil
Hey Philip, no because you have to go with a bigger exhaust size to allow extra flow especially with bigger intakes. You can’t do intakes without injectors and midpipe. There is companies out there that offer a delete kit for the valve so it won’t throw it into limp mode.
You just get injector dynamics 1000cc , then AMS downpipes , Cobb big sf intake , Cobb accessport , DW fuel pumps , then you can do custom tune with Ben Linney that I remotely did my self and you go up to 590-600 whp , that’s all on pump gas , I had my car like that for 5 years and I never had no issues with nothing!!
Hey bro i know this is an old video, but between ur GTR and the REDEYE, which one was more expensive in insurance?
GTR was a lot more
FBO on a gtr can get you up too 800hp and up too 650 torque. Torque is what matters on the GTR , about 650 torque is a limit if you don’t want to upgrade the engine. Other wise you will have to rebuild that and the transmission if you think you want to make more torque. For the price he said was kinda ridiculous and at the same time not, because if for what ever reason you blow your transmission, it used to be $30,000 from Nissan. They have now dropped the price to $10,000 for a new trans. You buy a car that comes factory $70,000+ you better be ready for the big bills that come with it.
Stock turbos can’t push enough airflow to even break 700whp on e85. 700+whp will require upgraded turbos.
Seems like Nissan didn't plan ahead for upgrades.i mean the mk4 supra trans was good for like 1200 hp and the stock motor was good for like 800hp. They really over built those supras.
Definitely right on the “you better have some money set back for repairs”. Specifically for the trans.
I just had my transmission pressure sensor go out. Just to replace that stupid $200 parts it’s $1250 to drop and replace trans. But while it was out I went ahead and had the trans built with new seals and forged baskets. $4000 total (parts and labor) so not bad at all. Clutches have been known to hold over 800whp so I should be good for upgraded turbos in the future now.
And I can finally launch the car while fbo/flex fuel tuned and not worry about it exploding lol
i have a 2017 and i have the exhaust valve
Lex what if you just upgraded the mid pipe , and stage 1 Cobb tune?
You can do that no problem
I have a 2020 and I think I have transmission noise. It’s my first one so I’m not certain but sometimes when I pull off from a stop it sounds like metal rubbing. I’ve Only got 10k miles.
That's normal, welcome to GTR life lol
Lex what car would you buy today after knowing all the hurdles the GTR has to make reliable power
czcams.com/video/BnEeOMkXBXM/video.html
I have an anniversary edition Supra Turbo and I was going to sell it for a GTR and after doing a lot of research on them I just don’t know if that would be a good move. The Supra is just so damn reliable with no issues ever and the thought of dropping tens of thousands on transmissions and (unlikely) engine failures is so foreign to me that it would probably ruin the experience for me. I think I’ll just keep the Supra but if I decided to move to the GTR would a good setup be just stock engine and a stage 2 Sheps(or jacks)??
Either way you go, you wont regret it, I personally love the Supras a little more than the GTRs
M3 comp x drive
I’m about 30k In so far engine wise for 1000 hp, just need to upgrade my trans for the reliability. And bought the car used and less than 2 weeks total engine and trans blew one after another.
Sounds about right 😂
How many miles did it have ? And did the last owner drive the car hard ?
Thanks for uploading this video, good info, someone said that 2009 GTR trans has issue because of TUNE, I don't think so.
Now i wont even bother with 09/10 ---- 2014+ only.
Just a weaker trans even with FBO they fail
@@LextasyNation I'm glad you sort the electrical Gremlins. I was like no way. Brand new car and problems like that ? Mayne I should wait and get 2017+ I like the body style and feels less outdated. Thanks
Here I am spending $6,000 bagging my GTR just so i can get it in the garage lol Once that is done I'm going to do the 600hp mods and leave it alone.
Heck yeah! I have a bagged R8 right now
Because you drive it to break it hence you needing lots of money to fix..you show us a really fast expensive car that doesn't break being drag raced all the time?
Nice 370z
YO! do you live in north carolina? I literally see your Audi outside the place I work!!!
Sure do! Where do you work at?
Lextasy I work at Barberitos! I just got off my shift!
Yeah I live in Arden lol
That’s awesome. I watch your vids and i loveeee your cars. Especially that GTR.
Thanks man!! That means a lot! 🙏
As usual bro great content. Definitely not bragging bro, but the money not so much an issue for me. I am personally enjoying my stock car. And full Factory warranty. I said I may go FBO for the
Summer but no rush. Maybe after we meet and I feel yours👍
I also have a friend with 1600whp and 1200tq. $$$$$$$
Thanks bro! And yeah keep that warranty as long as you can. I’m just always impatient lol 😂
So this is my personal question. I have enough for this car but IS it WORTH it tho? I’ve been looking around and I still want one but after seeing this video, I’m kinda worried about getting it now..
Let me put it to you this way, people that are actually have 100k to spend don't bother looking at the GTR because there is better options and people that can't afford one think GTR is THE car. What I mean by this is no matter how you look at it you're still paying over 100k for a V6 nissan that takes a lot of work to build. A 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo runs way better drag times and has more potential and costs around the same price now.
@@LextasyNation people but gtr to mod it . . Stock 2stock Porsche is faster but mod ? Gtr gonna destory 911 allday
What person owns a gtr and has only "heard" of hks😂😂😂
Should I be worried with the transmission on a 27k miles 2010 stock ?
2012 and older do have a weaker transmission. As long as you’re stock you’ll be fine
get the tsb cips done
Thoughts on HKS parts?
Heard of them, wasn't sure of their quality
@@LextasyNation dude I have a 2018 track edition gtr bone stock I wanna do a alpha 18x on it. It has 22k miles on it any suggestions
@@fry9911 lol
Would you say a tuned Evo would be better ?
That's a different budget car. I don't think Evo or STI are on the same playing field with this car honestly
Evos and sti are kids the gtr game is a big league for real i don't try be rude but my experience is real i have evo 8 , evo10 a 2016 sti and The Gtr so far is the most expensive and true if you don't know what u doing lip mode real quick
Hey brotha, anyway I could email you or text you to talk to you about GTR advices?
hey man, davidchuk3@yahoo.com
Im looking for 2016 gtr what the tip bro
Any FBO is fine, if it has upgraded turbos get the car professionally looked at. also see if it is FBO get a dyno sheet and make sure it doesn't have the torque turned up to 650 or higher.
And people complain about a $10,000 Tesla battery replacement. Lol
No sound
Lol! Calling it a 370Z hurts my feelings 🤣
Haha sorry
Bruh.... I still have a red 370Z...my feelings are really hurt now 😂😂
ehh good points but at the end of the day a dodge is dodge and a GTR is well.... a freakin GTR. This is also coming from a dodge owner haha
6:52 This is not entirely true. Nothing wrong with 2009's. I wish people would stop spreading misinformation perpetuating the myth of the 2009 GT-R. Only the very early 2008-2009's with LC1 that were BEAT on and launched hard dozens of times in a row broke the trans as LC1 had a very hard launch at 4,500 rpms. It would wheel hop and it could break. Nissan quickly fixed the issue with LC2 on the 2009 and 2010. Then released LC3+ after which refined the Launch Control. You can flash LC4/5 on all Nissan GT-R's even the 2009.
My GTR is a 1400 horsepower swites are built built car that I never converted to 85 so I'm running about a 1000 horsepower pump gas I'm pumped gas but I just don't feel it necessary to Siri to do all the things I have to do to get to the 1400 horsepower saying that you you really when you upgrade these cars at the engine you have to upgrade the transmission and all 4 corners of the car Because you can't run the car with the same brakes that came with it you need a suspension system and you definitely need when you get up to a 1000 horsepower or better you better put a stage 3 race transmission in the car And that can be done in Massillon Ohio By S HEP Transmission. I erase my car all over the place but never go to the drag strip and launch it I have never had any trouble si need trouble since ship put that transmission in and I race everyday somewhere and and just never have a problem... Just so you know if you're gonna run around launching this car all over the place you will always have it's always half problems of some kind that is the most stupid thing you can do to AGTR is constantly launching it all over the place. The car is fast enough it doesn't need to be launched when you nail it in 2nd gear just hang on and shift it and it'll take care of whatever you're trying to do
That's the mistake most people make is getting a car to 1000hp and forgetting how many supporting mods have to be done to make that 1k hp actually reliable.
@@LextasyNation Thanks for your comment the other thing that's really a problem when it comes to GTRs is that there are a lot of guys out there that proclaim themselves to be mechanics but I'm gonna tell you that there are a 1/2 a handful of people that actually know what they're doing on AGTR.. I believe that 75% of these guys really aren't qualified to do anything at all on an on AGTR. And the guys that by them and thinks that they can do their own mods generally wind up screwing up the car anyhow If you don't have the money please don't misunderstand me I'm talking about you have to have money to burn when you buy these kind of cars when you have to finance a car you don't have the money You need liquid capital to put into these cars and then you just have to have enough money to back that up so that when something happens it isn't a problem to get it fixed. I can honestly say that a guy that has been a transmission builder for Chevy's Ford's Chrysler's what have you for for his entire life say 3040 years of working on transmissions would have no clue what to do on a Nissan GTR transmission. That also goes for the motor a lot of these mechanics look at that and think they can work on them I'm just telling you they can't. When you want it done right you need to go to someone like AMS in Chicago cicio the guys in Texas there's a few guys I believe around Pennsylvania but my godman I got man they're debts taken a real risk when you just give it to any mechanic or try it yourself you're not qualified so forget about it do it right or don't do it because you because you will pay the price.
i’m about to look at a 2016 with an alpha 7 kit from AMS on it tomorrow and 32k miles. should i be worried about the trans?
As long as the torque has been kept below 630-650 on the stock trans than you’re fine.
Did you break it yet
What’s point of buying a gtr then if it has all these issues?
And also if you just rebuild the transmission you will be able to tune it/modify it without issues?
GTR is a flex car. It’s different and super fun and reliable when stock. There is different stages of transmission builds you can do depending on your power level. There is always issues with built cars
so 7k that includes parts, labor and tuning?
Yep
You speak faster than a 1000hp gtr
Who buys a 100 plus thousand car and go to eBay to buy parts. Red flag buddy!!
Should I take you seriously 😂😂😂😂
FBO next week FTW
my infiniti costs about 48k to get to 1000 ho
Whp*
What’s done to it??
So basically.. if you don’t drive it like an asshole all day everyday and don’t buy cheap parts then you should be good lol
Hahahah exactly!!!
@@LextasyNation awesome. Getting mine next month
7k ??? Must of paid someone to do your work.... stopped watching at that point...
My takeaway, its a Japanese BMW M5
