Hey Guys,

I've been doing my research and all the answer are not clear to me. I'm 17 and buying a R32 Skyline GTS-T. Due to the new law my turbo must be taken out.. Although there is also a prohibited vehicles banned list... In this list it contains the following of the r32 model:

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 2D COUPE TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 4A 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 2D COUPE TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 5M 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 4D SEDAN TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 4A 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 4D SEDAN TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 5M 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

now in the release dates it starts at 1990 and discontinues at 1993... Althought R32's start in production November 1989.. Is it possible for me to still drive this skyline if it's a 1989 skyline GTS ... without turbo etc? Just wanna be sure before i buy anything..

Thanks guys

buy the turbo register under your parents name........take off the T from the badge if there is one. Make sure you don't useless things like BOV on it or a FMIC untill you are legal to have it.

Otherwise get a corolla, drive it for a few years until you crash it then buy a line......chances are you will crash it

A skyline has been in the family before, i drive it to school sometimes.. although it's time i get my own, i need it to be completely legal etc. I'm not after engine, i'm after looks and sound.. so if the R32 GTS25 model are legal, why the hell not.. Also if the 1989 models are legal.. that 2. not sure which is better

Even if the car is registered in my parents name i still can't drive it...

If it has a turbo...Its banned, whether it be on the list or not. Registering it under you parents name, dont go there... Best go to the RTA website and download the exemption form, I'm sure you will think of something then :(

Where's the confusion? It has no turbo. It has no V8. It's not on the list. How much more obvious did you want it?

And I'm not sure how much of your beloved "sound" you're going to get, since the laws also prohibit new P platers from driving any car with modifications that alter "engine performance".

So unless you like the sound of an untouched RB25DE with a factory intake and exhaust, you may be a tad disappointed.

mmmm finding an r32 with a rb20, manual, is hard enough as it is.. Little to no chance of finding and rb25de 32...

I got a R33 gts... good fun... not as fun as a turbo.. but still fun.

Yea your only option i'd say is to try and get an exemption.. dammit i should have tried that... might do that soon, if i plan on buying a 32 gts-t :)

Thanks for all your input guys...

scathing I don't think it works out that way, i think all the cars on that list are banned with or without the turbo or supercharger...

Also What you think i can get the exemption from... Yeah i need a skyline for the country :(... hehe...

ok dude... how many times do we have to say that IF THE CAR IS NOT LISTED ON THE BANNED LIST IT IS ALOUD TO BE DRIVEN BY P PLATERS

THAT MEANS:

ANY NON TURBO SKYLINE IS ALOUD TO BE DRIVEN BY A P PLATER

so... YOU CAN BUY A R32 GTS25 (NON TURBO) AND DRIVE IT WITHOUT HEADACHES

same goes for a R33 and R34

Just remember if the car is high performance/turbo/supercharger then it's banned even i it's not on the list.. so a '89 GTST will still be banned.

Best/easiest bet is a r33 whale NA

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
