Hey guys n girls,

New to the forums and to skylines,

Been thinking about buying one for a while but was looking at a 32 GTR since my pintara (first car) is giving me the shits and im thinking about getting rid of it.

Just got some questions and hoping you guys could help me out :P

GTR's come with a stock turbo, how much trouble would i have taking it off and fixing it up the right way to make it P plate legal. I been told that if i take the turbo off it'll ruin the car and run like shit (Worse than a 32 GTS)

Or am I better off just getting a GTS non turbo (If i;m going to do that my budget might let me go for a R33 GTS and one last thing, if i do go for a GTS do you think im better off going the R32 or 33?

Thanks in advance for the help, new to learning about the car but very eger to learn about these monsters smile.gif

Don't try to take the turbos off a gtr,    like whoever told you they are right.  If you buy a nonturbo skyline it will look nice but go a little faster than your pintara.  If you want to go fast keep you pintara and save for a turbo untill you are off you p's.

Wayyyy to many of these threads going up... just get a Non turbo while one P's get to know the skyline etc. Keep it in good condition then when your off P's sell it to another p plater and if you treated it right you will pretty much get what you paid for it back. I really think its the way to go.. dont waste money and get worse performance by taking the turbo off a car, just stupid imo

GTR's are actually twin turbo... so there are two turbos to remove... and yeh horrible for the car.... plus the law still see it as a GTR and then ur REALLY stuffed... even though there are no turbos attached to the car... plus it will barely run...

please search... this thread is 1 or 2 under yours and a bloke is just asking questions after removing a turbo from a gtst.... the outcome is pretty poor....

why would you want to do that to a gtr? just buy a na gts-4, its the same drive train as a gtr.

you could do it. you would have to check if an na rb25 exhuast manifold bolts up to the rb26 and you will probably have to get an exhuast made up for it. also you will need to get it tuned.

just unbolt all the tubo gear and plug up the oil and water feed lines in the block. then bolt up your na manifold and get the exhuast fitted. you will also have to make up an air intake pipe for it and just run a pod filter and dont forget to put the air flow senser in there. jobs prety much done just go get a tune.

other then that taking it off is fairly straght forward. but even if you did this you will be running a low-comp na motor. chances are you will have less power then a stock rb25de.

but honestly dont do it.

    • That may not be so tricky with a changeover relay (again, with LED indicator only to reduce load on existing headlight + source)  30 to indicator + globe side 86 and 87 to headlight parker + 87a to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth repeat on each corner, sorted, no diode required
    • There might have been some "hard core" decalcification going on in the cells to create that noise As for chargers, I stick all our cars on a trickle charger every few months to "clean out their pipes/cells", the Mrs battery in her Mistsu ASX is still running its OEM from new battery 10 years on, and that thing does alot of short drives, and it can sit around for ages without a good long run
    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
