What did you do to your Sedan today?

Yeah, it's the updated GT-R **** out of a 2016 GT-R. The shift pattern is actually almost exactly the same. Park -> Reverse -> Neutral -> Auto/Drive. The only part that is off is that it says Manual mode is to the right (for the GT-R) instead of to the left like in our cars. It doesn't bother me thought since I know what position is what... I also plan to get the button done in carbon fiber so that would cover up the shift pattern anyway.
I don't recall exactly what the billet aluminum navigation ring cost, but $150 sounds about right. I actually think that's a pretty reasonable price... The way I see it, people seem to have no problem spending $150 (or more) on upgraded HID bulbs or switchback LED's, so what's the issue with spending that much on something you actually touch every time you drive the car?
Just like my steering wheel... It seemed ridiculous to me to spend $900 on that when I bought it, but now I actually think that was the best $900 I've spent on the car... It totally changes the whole driving experience and was so worth every penny IMO!

I mean, the numbers are backed up by dyno results for both the exhaust and intakes. Of course we don't know all the details of how it was tested since the company itself was the one handling all those details.
I do remember seeing one user on here gain 29whp from the Stillen Gen 3. Everyone called out BS but he had a dyno sheet to prove it. I'm not implying that to be just the stillen there had to be more at play but I personally at least think it's a big difference like I said.

From my experience when I first installed the K&N intake on my car I did gain 6 - 8 RWHP throughout the entire mid-range, but peak HP was pretty much exactly the same with both the K&N and the OEM intake. Both Dyno runs were the exact same day on the same machine in the same conditions, only about an hour apart due to having to swap out the intakes. Takeda also used my car for development and testing on their short ram intakes and came up with very similar results. Nice gains (5+ RWHP) from 2000 - 5K RPM's, but no considerable gains at 6K - 7K where our engines hit their peak HP figures. I think this extra mid range punch is what most people feel during everyday driving.

I'm in agreement with iCrap. Make sure you are set with most of your power mods before tuning, otherwise you are going to be paying for another tune down the road. I made this mistake and tuned after I installed my exhaust and intake, then added Berk HFC's and had to retune, and then went FI and had to retune again. Incidentally I gained around 20 RWHP with my original tune and then gained another 18 RWHP with the Berk HFC's and a retune. So, as iCrap mentioned, Test Pipes or HFC's will probably give you the most gains when combined with a tune.

Mmmm, candy red would look nice. I almost went with candy red, but then decided to keep my colours more or less blue everywhere. Pop the hood, BAM, BLUE!!! This ties into it all.

Very nice, Hexotic. What rotors are you using?
