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?

Starting googling on how an internal combustion engine works, then what mods you can do to them to improve different aspects.

Lots and lots of searching and reading.

Are you just looking for ways to waste money? If so, spending money on cars is the way to go (I know, im building a track car apparently). Spending money on NA skylines, well thats just one step short of giving your money to the government in tax which equates to throwing it in the bin.

Sorry when i said i bought it for $100, i meant $100 second hand, won on a ebay auction. Its the only reason why i bought it, the system was worth 800 dollars. Any system will drone on an n/a without appropriate mufflers.
And no i never got pulled over in my r33. It gave me head aches before i put the silencer in, silencer gave it a nice note :) Thats probably the best you can ask for in a n/a.

Ill add some of my mates and my own past experiences with n/a exhausts (no silencers).

Mates r33: 2.5inch cat back exhaust + hotdog reso = droney....no power gains
My r33: factory system(incl resonator etc..) with canon tip = droney....lost power
Mates r34: 2.5inch cat back exhaust + hotdog reso = droney....gained power? *strange*
Mates r34 GT-V with 5Zigen $1500 exhaust = Nice pleasent note...no power gains.

For a sedan though, you could get an exhaust shop to weld to size and fit, shouldnt be that different if you are getting just from the cat back. Will sound good too.

Just get a 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust, extractors, high flow panel filter (before you ask podfilterz?, just don't on n/a and unboxed)

Keep these mods for your 3 years. Every dollar you spend more on other items other than these above^ is a waste of money. I had the turbo restrictions too, it's just not worth spending cash on shit cars. When you get your full licence you'll want to get rid of it straight away for something turbo without a second thought.

If you want to spend more money. Then buy an ADM S15.

Don't spend a cent on it. Just drive it while saving up money, then when you have enough money sell the skyline and buy a Ford focus xr5 turbo. P plate legal, much faster than a non turbo skyline, way less police attention and a whole lot nicer to drive/be in.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
