Youre in Okinawa, Japan, and asking us??? lol...

Well four principals - suck, squeeze, bang, blow... Induction, compression, ignition, exhaust....

Get a decent filter and cold air induction setup to keep intake temps down. HKS/Apexi filter in factory box is fine.

Up the compression by using a thinner head gasket if you wanna go through the trouble.

Some adjustable cam gears maybe, and tune your ignition timing...?

Grab a set of extractors, and a full exhaust with a high flow catalytic converter. Prob no larger than a 2.5 or 2 3/4" system.

For better launches, get yourself some steeper diff gears. Will give you more torque, but your revs will be a little higher as you are cruising around.

Should give you decent gains. theres probably heaps of stuf there that others will add to or correct me on.

Or.... post in the "naturally aspirated performance" for non-turbo mods, "forced induction performance" for turbo etc.

Shorter diff gears you mean.......like 4.3:1

no i mean steep... as in 4.11:1 is a steeper ratio than 2.7:1.

Kthx for just coming in and not actually adding anything useful to the thread. But hey, you tried :-)

and tried again...

want a diagram?

Anyway - Ryan, running a diff centre with a steeper ratio, will improve your launch. Same reason as how you have more pull in 2nd gear than in third.

You wont get very good value for money with any upgrades to the NA engine. ie. you'll spend a lot of money for even 20-30kw increase.

Your fuel economy will also probably suffer. Fuel economy would be the #1 reason to own a NA skyline IMO.

If you're not concerned about fuel economy, be aware that a turbo skyline will be a better option than modding your NA one.

It will cost less to sell and buy a turbo skyline than to increase the performance of you NA skyline to the level of a stock turbo one.

If you're just after mild gains then yeah, exhaust, intake, and maybe some tuning? but be realistic about how much power you want and whether you can live with the louder exhaust.

Something to think about. :P

honestly... sell your non turbo and get a turbo car..

why didnt you buy one to start with if you wanted a fast car.

It was like when i was into 200sx's.. soo many damn posts about " hi i got a CA18DE auto and i want to convert to to a SR20det + manual "

its called saving up those extra bucks and getting it later, then something you dont want now.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!

      Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
