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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
