would have to add an aftermarket ecu to get the most out of the headers - tune for 98oct fuel, more timing, better afr and you should get a nice gain from the large capacity engine; specifically low to mid range torque (maybe 15kw difference all through the rev range) peak power id expect 15rwkw or so but the drivability would feel better.

Did the NA tuning thing on my old NA r33, i know diff engine etc but was a 10kw gain in the midrange which made all the difference in everyday driving.

it really comes down to the car. i know some makes where changing the headers don't do squat because the cams are where the restriction lies (3.5L magnas are a perfect example) yet other cars can make a massive difference (such as SSS pulsars where the car is totally different to drive afterwards)

The standard 350Z / V35 exhaust manifolds are not fantastic:

The biggest restriction is in the catback though. Most people will find 15-25rwkW in the catback, but doing the extractors with the catbank in place won't see more than 5-10rwkW.

If you've done the catback already and you're planning on staying NA its a reasonable upgrade, as it frees the breathing up in the top end and makes the engine more willing to rev, but don't expect to see massive gains.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
