: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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
