Converting A Turbo Skyline To A Non-turbo Skyline - Is It Too Much Trouble?

[krzysiek]

Hey guys,

Soon I will be getting my P's and I am really wanting to get a Skyline. As many know, it's much easier to come across a Turbo Skyline, rather than a Non-Turbo Skyline. If i was able to buy a turbo, and then have it removed, etc to become a P-Plate legal car, it would give me a much wider variety of Skylines to choose from, as I would not be limited to a select few only.

I am assuming that since i am downgrading, it will not require too much. I am thinking all it would need is perhaps to unmount the turbo, and have it retuned to what a stock Skyline should be at. Am i wrong in assuming this?

Also, in terms of insurance (if anybody knows) since the car may read, ie - GTS-T, could I simply tell the insurance the Turbo has actually be removed, although it is a GTS-T model and does usually have the turbo, as if i ever had an accident, I would not want them to not pay out as they think it had a turbo in it, but it didn't.

Appreciate any replies.

waste of time. compression of a turbo skyline is alot lower den a non-turbo, so removing the turbo wil make it a nugget. and in regards to insurance im sure theyl quote u as if it were still turboed

Hi.

Please use the search function, as you could probably imagine there have been a LOT of these type of topics in the past 12 months.

Basically removing the turbo, does not make the car a registered N/A, the build plate is still turbo... therefore its still illegal.

But ye, search for more detailed threads as this has been covered a large number of times.

Thanks
