It's not as simple as removing your turbo mate, the DET models vs the DE models have a different compression ratio, you're better off buying an N/A Line until you're off your P's.

Or move here to WA and drive any kind of car you want whilst on your P's.

Also, this topic has been covered so many times on SAU, you should try searching.thumbsup.gif

as was said above, it isn't as simple as just pulling off the turbo. if you were to go to the trouble of doing it you would end up a skyline that is about as fast as a hyundai excel, and i'm being deadly serious. in a race a completely standard non turbo skyline would leave you for dead. there is also the fact that the car is registered as a turbo, so just taking the turbo off doesn't make it legal to drive.

moral of the story, you should've used your brain and not bought a car that is illegal for you to drive. either sell it and buy a natro or park it in the garage until such time as you can legally drive it. the cost to remove the turbo and then reinstall it once you can drive a turbo car (if you are paying a workshop to do it) would be a large part of the cost of buying a non turbo skyline

seriously p platers are dumb, there are always threads about them wanting to take the turbo off, ffs cant you just go out and buy a non turbo, like me. its not that hard, and its quite simple to interpret the laws, so i dont see a problem.

p.s this is coming from an l plater, soon to be a p plater

..... Again ... Sell it and buy a non-turbo, Keep it and buy a shitbox till your off your P's or Keep driving around and getting caught are your only smart options.

If you even swap engines you will still need to get it engineered as above. It is not worth the hastle.

you are allowed to swap in another factory engine for the same model on p plates.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
