Alright guys, I think this guys realised his mistakes and is trying to set things right. Lets give him the help he needs aye.

At least hes not going around saying "hey look at my engine bay, its almost a turbo".

Word of advice - when bending the water lines, be careful, bend them carefully and slowly, you dont want a kink blocking waterflow.

yeah, theres no good mechanics in my town so the guy i took it to wouldn't know much about imports just pull it all apart block off a few oil lines and change a few things and be done with it.. in victoria i heard its only a $200 fine for the first offence being on p plates and driving a turbocharged car, and no points lost so i'll risk it if i get caught once ill sell the car still having my license, if i make it 10 months without getting pulled over ill be on my fulls anyway. i heard off someone else as well that bending the copper pipes slowly is a good idea, so ill definitely keep that in mind.. nope i have the intercooler sitting there and the piping running up into the engine bay but its not hooked up i just have a pod running straight into the engine, car overheats quite a bit when im changing gears allot, when im on the freeway its a breeze, so in my eyes its actually more dangerous now then when the turbo was in it :S

Why risk it anyway? If you're on your Ps, why go out and buy a turbo car? Thats such a f**king stupid idea!! And then you take it to a mechanic you dont trust and ask him to destroy your car like that... :)

But hey, what would I know? I just bought an NA Skyline for my first Ps and upgraded to the GTSt a year later. In WA, thats legal!

yeh well what do you expect i am a p plater :), yeah, okay, i walked upto my mechanic and said here ya go mate heres a few hundred just destroy my car, you sound like the type of person to read through SAU forums and make simple storys sound tragic hahaha. once i get my turbo installed, again, my car will run just as good if not better then it was before i got it removed, because im also getting an apexi power fc ECU installed and getting it tuned, the only thing i burnt here was a bit of cash, i work in a factory and im on $28 an hour, a couple of hundred dollars wasted on a magnificent machine like an R33 Skyline is not a waste in my mind, i set my mind on doing something so that i could proudly drive my car 'legally' and i did it, and it actually doesnt go that bad considering the rb25 engine is running when its not designed to be ran without a turbo.. and for your information, i also had an N/A RB25DE and sold it, and im glad i did i prefer this car and im happy with the choices i've made with this car.. considering i made it work to my advantage when literally more then 50 people on here advised me against it hahaha *giggles to self*

lol its funny for everyone who knows that this is a really stupid thing to do but dont worry man when i first got into skylines and my P's i wanted to do the same thing but i did my research first and didnt ask.. i looked at responces on other threads... but yeah man i didnt see a problem with it before i got my p's..

anyway man cant really help ya with putting it back in.. jus thought i would shame myself with you :worship: its cool to make mistakes bro forget everyone else.. :(

laaaaater

i set my mind on doing something so that i could proudly drive my car 'legally' and i did it

So you're proud that your Skyline is slower than your girlfriend's Barina? Because that's what you "did".

Your standards must be pretty low if making your car that slow is worthy of pride.

do you really think a cop would defect him if he lifted the bonnet and saw that?

i think he would just close the bonnet, get back in his car and drive off without saying a word - maybe a few pics on his mobile first.

its really thinking outside the square though.

but back in the day of p plates i did things like this.

stupid shit like pcv piping induction kits to a carby car with a massive funnel on the front - the theory was so when the airpressure builds up in the pipe due to air at the front it creates a boost-like situation - however at speed the car stopped running because the pressure forced air back through the jets...

it happens - at the time it was the best idea - now i facepalm at myself

beiig at the receiving end of the responses and critisism is just character building

great pic btw its now my background :P

Your right, he would proably slap the dude on the back of the head and then defect him for driving a GTST on his P's.

scratching, mate, i dont care about speeding, having the fastest car, doing burnouts, racing & all that bullshit. i just generally have a love for skylines, i dont know why everyone thinks you have to be in some kind of race team to own a skyline :S:S it's much more powerfull then my girlfriends barina now, its slowly been getting better and better since i got the turbo removed, ive done an oil change replaced the middle exhaust and done a few things now i cant tell the difference between my old standard r33 and this one they have a very similar performance, in other words its running just like a standard r33 so im laughing. and also its not really bothering me because in june ill be on my fulls, getting adjustable coilovers, black 19" rims & a new turbo fitted, then my car will be purring, ill never regret what i did it hasnt changed the interest of my life at all, at the end of the day it was either get the turbo removed or sell the car, i found a way around selling the car now i can keep it for years, i really dont know why everyone is confused, some of you people are making me double facepalm when one isnt enough lol.

Ok dude you really don't get it do you. Just because you are lucky and getting cops that don't know the laws very well doesn't mean what you have done is legal. Not every cop knows every single law.

well this cop knew what he was looking for and defected me for nothing but my car being 2mm to low.. i was very clear when i told him the story with my turbo, the way i see it if your genuinelly nice to a police officer there not going to go out of there way to slam you, especially when you live in a small country town like i do where everyone gets along, besides theres no relevence to me even replying because i have 4 months till im on my fulls and i live 500 meters from the masterfoods factory that i work in, what have i got to lose?, not like they would take my licence for driving a non turbo car that has an engine plate that says it has a turbo when i carry my turbo in the boot for proof, it just wouldnt happen like that man, anyway 90% of this forum doesnt help me with my question what is the point of SAU forums, honestly? people are just out to give other people s*#t its a bit of a joke.

hahaha i love this, i just read all the stuff on boostcruising about this forum as well (http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....494982&st=0). im getting really tempted to go out and make a video and single handedly prove how well this car is running without a turbo at low compression with the same DET ECU and Injectors, that will turn the tables a little bit, im not saying its a street machine but it has as much balls as a standard rb25 easy, then maybe SAU & Boostcruising members will realise what im doing is actually not such a bad idea, and i know the engine plate calls it a gtst but it really does not matter because i carry the turbo in my boot, my intercooler & piping goes nowhere so what are cops gonna say? they have nothing, i removed the turbo to make my car p plate legal and theres no evidence of me failing at that.

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
