none of the reasons you have presented make it a good reason to convert your car

you should just sell yours and buy a GTST and be done with it

it will take more time, cost more and end up with a 3/4 done job by converting it

yeah well rain might be an issue but if your driving or not parked on a downward slope you should be right. maybe putting the seal back there with the washers in place might stil give some breathing space. it doesnt look bad at all. a mates done his R32 and it just makes it look more angry haha

yeah well more thinking and looking at the work i have over the next year im open to offers atm its good needs a respray and some panel work needs the new wheel bearing ive got put in but other wise a very good car i think its got roughly 138 500 on it, parents are buying 40 acres so only logical thing to do is build a shed with a house type setup in it and buy something a little later on instead of it sitting around collecting dust, yeah jsut a caqnnon on it came with the car cars pretty much stock always looked after oil changed every 4000k

Just curious, but are you aware of the costs/punishment of being caught driving a turbo car?

Is it really worth it?

Not to mention the issues surrounding insurance for you and other parties involved...should the worst happen...

How many years have u got left on ur P's?

This conversion will prob take ages and by the time its perfect, you will prob be off ur P's. You're better off waiting and trading in ur NA for a GTSt. Less headaches that way. Are you also going to replace the gearbox coz from what i understand the NA gearboxes are not as strong as the GTSt's.

Not sure what the law in Qld is, but you might be able to drive a GTSt insured if its in ur parent's name and is the only car in the household. I know in Vic there is some provision for this sort of thing, but if I were you, I'd be looking into any sort of loophole in QLD law that will allow you to drive it.

afaik GTS's and GTSts share the same boxes, just with different ratios for obvious reasons. the conversion could be done in a weekend provided you have everything necesary. mines been a slow progression over about 2 months, even now still ironing out minor faults, but its come a long way :)

VIC does have provisions and such.

Excellent point.

To the

Browser had a hissy fit. As I was saying.

To the original poster, can you afford to lose your car AND pay for the other person's car if you have an accident? Don't say it won't happen, because it does.

Justcar and that quite frequently inspect imports that have been in accidents, and if they spot you're driving an illegal vehicle they won't pay you a cent.

      newbie attempts the GTR life.

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By codygrimm27 · Posted

      Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By codygrimm27 · Posted

      So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated! Stagea Differential - Note two top tabs, one bolt hole for ATTESA pump mounting   300zx Diff - No mounting tabs Also found this mounting kit ?? https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
