Ok, so I have decided to pull the trigger on my 2010 Gunmetal GTR. I am shipping the car to Sharif @ Forged Performance and I am way super excited to have my ride in the hands of someone so extremely qualified to do all the work. I plan on using my ride for fun weekend drives, tracking, drag strip and some long rally’s (gumball anyone?! lol)


Here is a ruff list of what will be getting done. I will keep yall updated and have some great videos available once the car is completed.

I am so excited to get it back and it has not left my garage yet LOL!

man, that is going to be a sick car!!!

yea u will enjoy it alot when you get that girl back :-D ...

why did'nt you go with aam y pipe to have a matched exhaust? and they have a resonated model too.

just curious, no pun intended.

Already had the Harmon on car lol

Congrats! Your GT-R is going to be ridiculous with the AAM turbo upgrade - an immense amount of fun. I think you'll really love our exhaust as well. Quieter than stock even with 650awhp.

Your in good hands at Forged.

I'm in for numbers!

Good luck.

Which sway bars?

Stock wheels and runflats for now? Any plans for other wheels and tires later?

Good luck and enjoy.

You in good hands with Sharif and his staff.

If you don't mind

what is the cost of this setup and install

i'm trying to figure out my upgrade path

Going to be an awesome build!!! Congrats!!! Cant wait to see the finish product.

can't wait to see the outcome. i'm sure you will love the work; as you know, Sharif is one of the best at what he does.

keep us posted on pics and everything sharif!

Wow! Sharif told me about your car coming in. You made the right choice by bringing in a car carrier and shipping the car to Sharif. Lots of work there and he and his team are first class.

The cost is up there a bit I will let Sharif answer any of those questions, however it will still be less than buying a POS ZR1.
And the ZR1 wont even come close in performance once all is done.

nice!!!

What is wrong with you? btw that's gonna be a lot more expensive than a ZR1 said and done.

looking forward to the updates!

Hmmm... A ZR1 with comparable stock stuff (including floor mats LOL) from the dealer would be the ZR1 3ZR Cost 120k, My Premium 2010 GTR was 83k that leaves me with 37k in upgrades.
That is the way I am looking at it anyways lol

Gootimes!

We are looking forward to getting started. No stone will be left untouched on this build! We've also added a few additional items, such as cooling, coilovers, and brake mods for track use.

Wait until you see the rig that pics up the car.

One of the nicest I have ever seen.

Congrats! You are in very good hands with Forged !

I;ve actually used the FedEx custom car pickup service.. THAT was pretty damn amazing. They even used gloves and have covers, and blankets for each car along with covers for the wheels/rims to be sure absolutely nothing of the car was touched with any straps or tiedowns and there is no chance of any leaks/drips on the cars.

I wanna get shipped like that on my next cross country trip... ;-) LOL

Like I said to everyone Sharif & I will keep you updated on this build and the pickup of the car went very smooth and I was really impressed. Calvin with GO-2 transport was as professional as you can get. He took his time to make sure and not have any issues, he even took off his belt while getting it inside the truck to make sure he didn't scratch the car in anyway.

Here are some picks of the truck, it was really nice.







Keep checking back, more updates coming soon...

Looking forward to the results of this build!

I like your number plate I am in the same field (Search Engine Marketing). I'm guessing you probably are not just a webmaster, do you own a web dev company?

Very nice, man! Looking forward to the results of this sick build!

interesting question, but once you were already shipping the car... why didn't you just ship it straight to AAM? not much further, and seeing as most of the products that you decided to go with they make, wouldv'e had first hand knowledge on every part. just was wondering, i know i like to buy company products straight from the manufacturer if i can.

On the contrary, I wouldn't call the intake, turbos, and part of the exhaust "most" of the products he went with. The list is much longer than that. Besides, some people have sentimental favorites for whatever reasons.

I went with Sharif @ Forged for many reasons.... some of the main ones are reputation, customer experiences, length of being in business, amount of GTR's built/worked on and I have a friend out here that has a 350z that was done at Forged a while back and he said they are awesome and extremely professional.

well my point was that forged doesnt make their own products, which is why i was wondering why when AAM is the majority supplier for his mods, why not deal with them directly.

thanks for that though

Your correct Forged Performance does not make any products for the GT-R at this point and time. Instead I think they focus on comprehensive builds for GT-R's using what they feel are the optimal parts for the overall best solution. This often requires using parts from many different vendors to get the best suited results the customer/tuner wants. I know Forged works closely with many of its vendors to ensure the proper fitment, installation and usage of their various products .

Ultimately it is up to every person to make their own decisions where they go.

Nice transport truck. Forged will get you taken care of. And thanks for supporting our products!!

You have a well mapped out set-up. Other than fuel supply, I see no reason why you cant make over 700awhp (dynojet) if you are willing to give it 20+psi!!

You will definitely be in good hands with Sharif.

I used to live in Wichita years ago... your neighborhood looks like Tallgrass, am I right? My parents still live there and I am there ever other month or so.

Yup in Greenleaf Edition

I spent some good time there as a kid, my friend's family lives in boxthorn ct!

So far so good with forged!
Only 1 problem... I am going through major GTR withdraw... I feel like an addict every day it is nice outside LMAO!!!!

Updates coming soon of HP before and after!!!!!!!

So how much longer do you have to wait to get your baby back? I am very interested to see the numbers also and congrats.

About 4 weeks from now. Most of the leadtime is waiting for turbos to come back. His babe his sitting safely in our shop.

OUCH!

I am ok with waiting for sure... Perfection can't be rushed

What amazes me is why vendors don't have at least 1 set of their modified turbos ready to ship. They could offer a much quicker turn around, and have the trade in set as cores to rebuild for the next order. There have been a number of OEM turbos up for sale here in recent months, why haven't any of these vendors snapped em up?
I've been very tempted to do this upgrade, but don't want to have my DD disabled for weeks on end. With an appointment scheduled well ahead of time, this should only take a week tops. No?

i know i wouldnt want to put some other guys oem turbos in my car, id rather keep mine, and therefore it takes time to get them off the car... modified and back on. but i still think that is far too long

I was thinking about this just yesterday.

I understand both points of view...being that my GTR is my daily as well, if I were to upgrade turbo's I too would want them on the car asap. I could care less if they were originally on my car or not as I would assume that all mechanical parts would be new anyhow.

You know, I have only seen one oem turbo for sale and Aam tried to buy it. Not sure if they suceeded in the purchase. However, I'm sure we are going to see a flood of oem turbos once people opt for bigger turbos or greddy packages. We are afterall in the infancy stage of gtr tuning.

All is coming along and the car is almost complete and ready to rock and roll... here are some pics that where sent to me I have been busy as can be but made some time to get them up today ;) Much much more coming soon!







For those that have not seen here are the HRE wheels that will be going on the day I get her back ;)


After she is ready to go I will be tracking and draging her like a mad man and see what kind of times we can throw up as well as how she performs as a daily driver

CHEERS ALL!

Nice, man! ETA?

Should be by end of this month if all goes well

More Pics of my Forged Performance 2010 GTR Build... Lookin good











More coming soon...

Any sound clips of magna flow exhaust Tim
