:no: Some interestingly useless replies.

Lets start at the top. Your thread states you want it louder, yet in your post you want more power. Well a well designed exhaust may gain a few "nanowatts" but free-flowing exhausts on NA cars do not yield much gains vs turbo cars. NA cars need backpressure to make power.

IF you want to make the car slightly louder remove the resonator from the exhaust and weld a straight pipe back in, this will retain the stock muffler/s and will help you get noise/not power

NA cars need backpressure to make power.

Fail.

Cover your nose and mouth then go for a run, that's backpressure.

The term you're after is "scavenging effect".

OP, your question doesn't make sense. Without touching the exhaust you won't get more noise and power... Unless you go ITBs with trumpets.

Scavenging effect or more correctly exhaust gas velocity. Every engine want's as little back pressure as possible but NA's rely on scavenging more so the crossover of gas velocity vs lower back pressure is heavily in favor of gas velocity.

When i had my n/a r33, i got a cat back exhaust system for 100 bucks including canon, cat and hot dog reso. Car droned like a mofo, so i bought a adjustable 4 inch silencer from ebay, and had it partially opened. Worked like a charm, produced a nice tone with minimal to no loss of power. Im assuming the silencer created that "backpressure/increased velocity" that n/a's desperately desire. In fact, im pretty sure it became a little quicker, i started to pull (ever so slowly) on my mates n/a 34 after the exhaust "upgrade". Anyways im just talking from my past experience.

bullshit 100, i thought i'd have to fork out about 1k for a decent exhaust.
I would want it to also make my car sound better not just louder.
Did you get pulled over a lot before you got the silencer?

100 as stated will get you a shit exhaust which drones like a shit exhaust.
fitting a silencer (bottleneck) is not a good conter modification.

just get a decent exhaust proably a couple of hundred. and good headers maby another couple of hundred 2nd hand. maby 5-600 all up
after that just cam the thing

camshaft.
the only way to make an engine give more killawasps in basic terms is increase the fuel and air intake and get the waste out.

with either forced induction which in not your option here
make it rev harder

or increase the capacity

Or don't bother and wait till you get a decent car.

I don't understand why people say this. I'm not able to get my full license for over 3 years. Out of p plate legal cars i got one of the best cars in terms of power for my restrictions. May as well improve it and learn as much as i can before i go for a turbo car.

Camshaft makes the car rev at a higher rpm correct?

I've already got a k&n air filter. how do i increase air more than that? and not sure what mods will increase fuel flow.

increase capacity of power?

lol says like we don't understand.

The restrictions are nothing new. I too had to wait. I too got an N/A skyline.

The best thing i did to it was nothing. It was a car i liked the look of. Why waste cash on mods that will literally do nothing to improve the car? and just ask for more cop attention? Complete waste of cash.

Put said money that you are going to spend into a savings account. And come opens you will have a heap more to spend.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • 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.
