Hey James, I think a rear seat delete & rollbars + bucket seats (I would recommend recaro sportster cs nismo is enough for street use) should be the next on the list for the gtr. and I think you shall consider Toyo R888R tires & definitely as you say, a brake upgrades to stop that godzilla.

[@auusstin8404]

James you need slicks for the track. Your AWD system WITH slicks that thing will HOOK AND SLAM THAT POWER DOWN. You also NEED A FULL ROLL CAGE AND HARNESSES. you’re dealing with serious power. Get a fat pair of slicks for the track and a wider set of the stickiest tires you can find for street you. And make sure TC is off. Might now hurt to get a parachute as well. I don’t think you really realize the amount of power you’re playing with. ***ALSO THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT*** you HAVE TO FIND WHEELS THAT CAN HANDLE THAT POWER. NOT MANY COMPANIES ARE PRODUCING WHEELS THAT CAN HANDLE ALMOST 1600 WHP. you really need to invest in brakes badly. You need to understand. This isn’t a gtr anymore. It’s literally a hypercar with the speeds and power it’s putting down. We don’t want to see you end up in a bad wreck man. Please upgrade everything you possibly can to make yourself safe. Including fire extinguishers.
