: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

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.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
