Hey all,

Im 16 and recieved my L's a month ago.

This weekend, me and my dad went to adelaide and bought my first car.

It's a black R32 Skyline, RB20DE non-turbo, 5speed.

I have only been researching into cars for the last 3months. I firstly wanted a 300ZX Z32, then a S13 180sx, then an EL XR6, then a S13 silvia but i decided an R32 would suit me lol.

So i have just a few questions.

How can I increase the power/KW/acceleration of my car without adding a turbo as I'm not allowed one lol.

What do i need to buy in order to get that sound of air coming out, everytime i change a gear?

Thanx in advance.

P.S I don't have a job, and since dad bought my car I need to spend my own money on doing it up. So orices would be appreciated. Thanx smile.gif

hey dude,

welcome. you are quite lucky to have been bought a nice car at such a young age.

most of what you need can be found by searching through these forums, either search bar at the bottom or the link up top (alternatively click here).

if you ever have a question search first - and if you cant find an answer, then start a new thread.

there are many ways to increase power; it all comes down to your budget and application, so start from there. start searching; extractors, exhaust, hiflow cat to begin with. your looking at an easy $1000 right there.

it's apparent you havent got the fundamentals of forced induction. to get the "air" sound (as you call it) you will need a turbo and a blow off valve. so let me just tell you straight up there's no way you will ever have that sound from a non-turbo car without losing your dignity.

remember this game is all about knowledge so use your brain like a sponge and try to read as many of these threads as you can, and only ask if you cant find an answer.

Keep it sounding nice... A big loud raspy exhaust won't give you any more power over something that runs a resonator and a muffler to keep that raspyness at bay.

Much more respectfull having a nice note than something that sounds like pure rasp. I see a lot of n/a silvia's and what not shove a cannon on the end and it sounds pure crap.

Can't say I've seen an N/A R32 or R33. Seen a few NA R34's though. :P

congrats on the 32

ur best bet would be to put a set of extractors, and a full exhuast system, make sure you run a resonator or you will have a shocking sounding exhuast system, i learnt my lesson there

u could also run a pod air filter, but make sure u make a air box for it and a cold air intake

all the best.......drive safe

you speak the truth thats for sure. I've got an NA silvia and it sounds sweet as but it cost. do it right the first time good exhast with two good quality mufflers and don't make the mistake of going to big.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
