What Would Be More Expensive?

What would be more expensive...Taking the turbo out of a skyline, or putting one in?

P plater here, and i want to purchase a skyline, either r33 or r34, but my question is simple. I either get a non turbo version and whack a turbo in once i get my blacks (1 year down the track) or i get a turbo version and take the turbo out until i get my blacks then put it back in. Its a year till my full licence but i cant wait

cheers

I read somewhere that when you take the turbo out, you need to re-compress the motor or something and do other things to it, thats why i ask if its expensive.

Its only a year, buy somethig like an r31 for under a grand or something. then get something that already has work done to it

Yes, but i dont mind if i buy something that has work done on it, i just want to know if its expensive to take the turbo out and put it back in a year later or whether i should get a N/A model and put a tubo in later.

buy a crap car while ur on ur p's, put some money in the bank, then have a smaller loan or buy the car outright.... thats not just stupid advice so u stop asking questions, thats coming from someone having an 18 grand loan and knowing that if id had a year or more to save it could have been a 14 grand loan or less....

Dont bother converting turbo to non turbo, it will either cost lots or go like a bag of $hit.

18k loan for a GTST?

in regards to "re-compressing your motor" you will need to change the pistons to a flat top design opose too the dome design that turbo's use (Pull the engine apart which is time consuming and money wasing in your position) also there is changing the ecu etc etc, if you want it too be faster than just taking the turbo out. If you did leave it the same minus a turbo it will be fast as a n excel.......

Best of saving for a turbo skyline if you want one this bad
