Hello,

Ive had my gtt for around three months now and most of the members of my household cannot drive turbo cars. So here i am sitting here thinking why the F*** did i buy a turbo!!

Without selling the entire car, is there any way the turbo can be blocked or taken off so that it runs as a six NA?

If i cannot do this than is anyone interested in trading a Gt-t R34 for the NA four door :)

Thanks guys

no it is still classified as a turbocharged car, even if you pull the turbocharger off. the compliance plate, rego and papers all will say gtt turbocharged so it wont matter. why cant they drive it? over power the weight rule for their age?

well did u buy the car for them or for you? why do u worry about everyone else in your house so much?

I worry, because there is four of them who cannot drive it...

The four of them are on their P's and in sydney cannot drive her

Im pretty deadset on doing it, but you've just answered my question in one.. thanks

Hey Mate,

Isn't it legal to drive a turbo if it's your "only" family car? Just sign off your other cars to trusted family members (even though they still yours, no one will know) and that way your kids can drive it.

I'm not 100% sure if the family car exemption is still available double check...

dude its your car..... did u pay for it ?

I can totally understand what your saying, but the plus's far outway the minus's .

Yes i paid for it, all $28, 000

Im also not the father of the family, im only ninteen, im refering to my 3 brothers and 1 sister. Yes, its insured

de turboing a skyline is like puttin a gtr engine in a mustang, should never be done yet alone thought of. but i do however understand your predicament, i would do as nizmoid suggested and keep the skyline for yourself :)

Tell them to buy there own f*kkin cars lol. Asif make your car crapper (which you cant do anyways) for them to drive it! You must be a really nice guy to consider that... but no lol

just buy a shitbox for 2k

$500per person

problem solved

Very good idea!

i think i have the solution for you

ill trade u my 1996 hyundai lantra for it - its definately non-turbo - fun for your whole family! i know its not an equal trade so... throw in a few hundred for me too.

if you deturboed the car, would they neccesarily wish to drive it? Aside from diggin into your personal business like everyone else, to de-turbo the car, you would need to transplant in a non-turbo engine, or the essential non-turbo parts from a non-turbo r34 - these are very rare and therefore expensive. You'd probably be best off selling the car, even if you did 'modify' the engine, it may still be registered as turboed, and if not, the car will be 'modified' and possibly therefore illegal anyways.

ok, well the problem with de-turboing a turbo motor is that the internals aren't like a non-turbo motor. they are designed to have less compression (the boost makes up the difference). this means that if you de-turbo it it will have less power than a non-turbo motor.

it would be easier to sell the car and get a non turbo car. to remove the turbo you would have to get a new manifold, block all the turbo water and oil lines lines, get a new exhaust (if it has a 3", since a 3" on a n/a car would be extremely noisey, and actually reduce the power output), and probably retune the computer to alter the timing.

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
