Depending on a couple of points...
Location?
Military?
Most minor upgrades for a GT-R are the usual down pipe/cat back and some pod filters. (APEXi are the better filtering unit) Those wake up the car pretty nicely.
Try to keep the boost under 1.0bar (14.7psi) or you take the chance of exploding the ceramic exhaust wheel in the turbos.
You'll also take note to be caution due to the early RB26's notorious crank collar issues. Not exactly sure what that issue is, but it's addressed quite often in the 90-93 or 94 RB26. Can cause oil pump failure.
Might want to make sure the timing belt/water pump have been taken care of if it's a high mileage car.
First off, welcome to NICO and to the Skyline/GT-R forum.
Hope you stick around!
Now, if you live in Japan, buying new parts for a GT-R is stoopid expensive, especially considering the yen to dollar exchange rate. Up-Garage, Autobacs Secondhand mart or iParts is your friend. Good quality products and good prices. They even install for you if you pay a little extra.
Just a few things off the top of my head.
