In with Terry. Keep it stock. If you need more HP trade it for the new one.

2.7 0-60 is that fast enough?

But what happens when you pull up to another one just like it? THAT'S when you want the edge?

BTW, that was mostly a joke. sub-3 0-60's are pretty exhilarating no matter what.

man if ur worried about warranty then dont do it. Get another car. I drove the GTR a few times and just couldnt get myself to like it. couldnt stand the seat being so high. but it does have a shit load of potential if u go out on it.



and I dont think that midpipe will give u 100whp.

here is my buddy's GTR with that mod. and i have a 250lb passenger with me.

you dont even need the cobb tune yet, order the 2012 cold pipes because where the gtr gets more power from in the 2012 version is from revisions to the intake and factory bov's

it just has better flow since they increased the diameter and as far as I know they would be able to notice the different piping on the 2012 if you want to worry about warranty issues, it is oem stuff, but I am not sure if they are for sale yet at the part department.

Yeah, the midpipe will only get me 15-20. The custom dyno tune is where it's at. Might could get 60-70 with a midpipe and off the shelf tune. Would need a custom tune and maybe a couple smaller supporting mods to get the full 100.
