You can get almost anything to play Dvd's, not much of a problem there..

Increasing power is alot more harder and costly on n/a skylines ( non - turbo )

I suggest if you're looking for power, look into a turbo.

Mods like exhausts, pods or other simple mods won't make much power difference..

There's lots of other cars you can get for the money you're paying for the r34 non-turbo..

Agreed

yeah but its realy for my girlfriend who crashed the s13 so i dont want her to have to much power but I think she just wants it to sound sweet out the exaust so i should just get a cannon on the back. Im going to have a look and drive this arvo will post pics then.

P.S she's more about style rather than power she just realy want to play music clips in the car on the standard monitor.If I just buy a dvd headunit will do the job i hope. but I have tryed to tell her to shop around but she has her heart set.

Will have pics this arvo

This pic is of my ride

hey took it for a test drive not bad fair bit of power didnt realise the exaust is so small what is a good exaust to get is it ok to get it from the cat back or just go the whole shebang extractors etc? any pics on exausts would be nice heres some pics i got .

If you look closely you will see the cd /tv/nav. with the audio -video plugs on the side.would a dvd/mp3 plug straight into this monitor im not sure because it was dissabled at the time.

many thanks

May aswell go the whole way, make sure the piping is no bigger than 2.5 inches, and a big cannon might not be the best option unless it's providing suitable back pressure..

Excellent piece of advice!

[devos2be]

No bigger then 2.5 gotcha so what sort of stylish exausts a out there for non turbos i havent realy taking much notice of non turbo skylines.

my exaust on the r32

Hey if your looking at what you can do to extract a little more power out of an NA i wrote up a big write up a couple of days ago read it title was:

N/a Preformance Upgrades

Want some more bang, heres some ideas

[devos2be]

hey read your write up thanks will be getting the pod and exuast first then some nice rims.

Any good tips on how to make a good heat shield.

P.s can anyone post pix of there exaust systems please

[AlexR34]

Heres a huge tip from a r34 N/A owner wateva u do and i mean wateva u do do not get any piping bigger then 2 and 1/4 inch thats what mine is and its also tip tronic and on the cruze on saturday my car was louder then all of the turbos with 3 inch exhausts also another huge tip a resenator is a must, this mofos drone like crazy.

Hey Alex I like your four door its exactly what im thinking of getting when I sell the Gtst 33. Need to start saving for a house and I love the look of 34 four doors.

Oh thanks dood, its my pride and joy, that car doesnt skip a beat, i dont even drive the car cold, i wont start it until it has fully warmed up,i honestly take more car of the car then i take care of myself, i service it every 10,000 km with Motul Turbo light oil and change the oil filter, ive changed the coil packs with top of the line splitfire ones cause the normal ones are crap and go eventually, changed the spark plugs to NGK's changed the timing belt to gates timing belt, changed all over belts just for piece of mind, it has king springs, 2.25 exhaust catback and im now looking for a high flow cat to fit aswell. Um changed the rear speakers just cause i had some good ones sitting around. The car has no leaks what so ever and i believe it can pass absolutely any inspection. The car is perfect on the exterior, one or two stone chips but im having that fixed. I will be selling the car soon, cause im looking for a turbo 34 or a highly modified 33. Heres a pic of the car on a cruze i was on. Oh yeah the car has warranty but i told them to shove it cause i dont trust them servicing my car with crappy mobil and castrol oils. So i started servicing it myself so i can be sure the work has been done. Ill be selling the car soon, oh and it is unbelivable on petrol i always put premium fuel and 60 bucks will get u a full tank and it can do approx 500km per tank with the aircon. And it has a pod airfilter with chrome shield.

NO 2.25" is too small. Stock exhaust is 2.5". Just make sure you use a decent quality muffler (not straight through) and incorporate a resonator. My 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust NEVER drones

very nice mate and I notice your from brisbane. Will keep and eye out as I am too. As soon as I sell the turbo 33 thats the car I want as Istill want a skyline but dont want to modify it and if I get another turbo im sure I will do the same thing.

Heres a few questions, is your car a 34, is your car auto. Mine is a 34 and it is auto and its is N/A and it drones heaps now it just has a 2 and a 1/4, 34's have a reputation for being louder then 33's i have a resenator and an awsome "drift" tip which i payed $220 for. The r34 stocko ones arent 2.5 they are 2". So trust me dont get a 2.5 on an Auto, on a manual maybe but defenetly not on an auto.

[AlexR34]

And Chris, yeah its NA so now i want to move up cause i recon i can handle a turbo car and want to modify it sort of as a project. Im thinking of buying a 4 door again if i can find a manual one but they are almost impossible in 4 door. But will probably go with the 2 door just for a bit of change. Good luck with your sale to man. That is when u sell it lol. And when i sell mine if ur really interested i might be willing to negotiate a special price for u

[Greg]

my car is a manual r33.

it seems unlikely r34s are louder than r33s given they use the same engine (with a neo shroud). yeah auto trans can make the exhaust a bit more droney

Yeah the piping was different with the 33's and 34's for some reason and the engine isnt the same the 34's have a neo head fitted which the r33's dont. The power output is very similar however torque varies abit, the head was designed to lower emissions it also produces more torque at lower rpm's. Trust me my exhaust is 2 and 1/4 inch and its way louder then my maits on who has a r33 manual NA but his is also 2 and 1/4 inch. Also i dont know if u get this but my mates one makes a rattle noise after like 4000rpm. My 34 Doesnt do that. But mine at lower rpm's drones, anything after 2000 rpm sounds nice. The problem is you can drive 70km'h and it will drive at 1500rpm.
