Noob, Lovin My 34 ^__^

Hey all first post, I'm also on SAU,

Resident of Victoria,

Always loved skylines an have wanted one since... Well NFS2 was released lol ( kinda lame but it's the truth..)

I've got a R34 25Gt sedan model, which is stunning in bayside blue

It's a shame I'm on my P's cause I would have got the same model 25 Det-t but as a coupe lol

I've spent a fair amount of $$$ on it esp when I first bought it

Now it has no issues and runs alright but it's not getting a lot of power due to the ECU still from the at when it was a turbo...

But that's alright cause I'm putting a turbs back in as soon as I'm off my P's (in 3 years.. Sigh...)

I was lookin to get a cf bonet put on but reading how blits are the only ones who sell ADR approved n I can't get onto their site it may have to wait, I love the look of the black cf bonnet on bayside blue

Will post a pic l8r

Anyway that's me n my car

wait, i'm not clear on this, but are you saying that the car had a turbo on it, or just the ecu was from a car that was turbo? if it was a factory turbo that you have pulled the turbo off then there are 2 things to mention (other than asking the question of why bother?). 1: the car is still registered as a turbo, therefore it is still illegal to drive on your P's. 2: it isn't the ecu making it produce less power, but the fact that it runs lower compression than the non turbo model, so even with a natro ecu it would still be about 30% down on power.

[SkyBlue92]

i bought it as an X-turbo

still has the big brakes, ecu etc...

if its illegal still well that's a problem.. as far as i know most of its been ripped out...

im sure its legal, been looked over by "authority figures" a few times and well they havent said anything.. but maybe they only know as little as i do?

[mad082]

more often than not you will get away with it, but if you get a cop who wants to get you on a technicality then they have you bent over a barrel.

but the question still remains as to why anyone would want to take the turbo off a turbo engine and run it natro. people have done it before and proved that it is a bad idea as you end up with a car putting out about as much power as a hyundai excel, and i'm not joking about that either. your car is probably putting out about 70hp at the wheels. to put this into perspective, a small 4 cylinder hatch such as a corolla is probably putting out a handful more hp, but weighs in a few hundred kgs less. so without being too rude, what you have is purely a posers car. all looks and absolutely no go.

if the car has had a factory non turbo motor put in but is simply running off the turbo ecu then it's not so much of an issue, but without the correct tune on the ecu it may just be a matter of time before something lets go.

cops dont give a fark if the plate says det marc, they actually check now.

wish my taxi was blue.

Hey Erin, welcome to sau

Blitz would be heaps expensive/hard to find. if your really want carbon, get your bonnet wrapped in dry carbon looking vinyl, im getting my bonnet and maybe even boot done pretty soon

It lasts around 6 years and costs only a fraction of real carbon bonnet, so its great for a temporary fix for your carbon craving

and like Marc stated, the lack of power your experiencing is probs your engine compression, the factory rb25de runs higher compression then an rb25det.

would luv 2 c pic tho, i absolutely heart bayside blue

No surprise to see mr negative welcoming a new member in this way, I thought that being a ''moderator'' you would take on the role of not belittleing someones first post on SAU when all she way trying to do was introduce herself and her car, but no, in true form all you can manage to do is bag her car out like you do every non turbo or P plater even though you know that she didn't de-turbo it she bought it like that. As for why would it would be de-turbod, while some people know that its not the best idea, not everyone in the world does and sometimes people learn from their own mistakes.

These are the type of responses that make people not want to participate at all, myself included.

At least she has a Skyline and is trying to participate on a Skyline forum, not just thinking she knows everything, about everything, all the time, and bagging out non turbo skylines and P platers whenever they are mentioned.

At least she has some passion about her car, the way I see it, it is you that is the poser.

Don't see how he is belittling her hey, he's just pointing out the facts. And not wanting to participate? What is this, school yard fun time? Unless you're here to get attention and approval from other people, why would you care what anyone else thinks?

Anyway, welcome to SAU Erin, I'm sure you'll learn lots if you read the info on here what Marc said about your car is pretty accurate, though if you think you can put up with it for 3 years, then enjoy it

[thekidd]

Sounds more like you have a 25GT-V which has the big brakes, strut bars, etc that a turbo model has.

I recently imported my GTV from Japan and when I registered it I made no mention of it having or not having a turbo, no badge names were mentioned.

My car simply shows up as "NISSAN SKYLINE (IMPORT)". Police can rego check all day long, It won't show up as turbo or not, unlike ADM delivered vehicles.

The only way to check would be to use a nissan vin check program to see what it came with at factory?

Welcome to SAU, Erin.

[Hanaldo]

It will show them the engine is has been registered with.

[Charles89]

Welcome to SAU!

Where abouts in Vic are you at?

Anyway hope to see you round

you have obviously confused the roles of moderators with some form of forum kiss-ass. we are here to make sure that the rules are followed. besides i'm not a moderator of this section, just a general participant. plenty of more blunt posts by other mods and admins on here.

as for belittling her, i wasn't doing that, simply pointing out some facts to her. and at no point was i bagging out non turbo skylines in this thread. i was bagging out turbo skylines with the turbo removed though, as it needs as much attention drawn to how bad of an idea it is to do so that anyone new to skylines, who thinks they might do this to save a few bucks and get around P plate restrictions, knows why it isn't more commonly done.

[SkyBlue92]

Wow O__O,

Its ok people I'll take it all as good criticism ^__^

And everyone loves their own car

Its ok if u wana bag my car but I'm trying to follow the rules even when cops at pulling me over for doing "92" Down a road that I only 70kms, n doing an "illegal u-turn" but hey I'm still gunna drive the way I always do n that's safe cause I love my car n I don't wana see it either impounded or written off I'm happy cruising around

Thanks for the hello's everyone it's good to see how much support there is on here ^__^

[SkyBlue92]

N to be honest when I bought the car (from power Road car sales, never again...)

I believed the car was an all stock non-turbo as in built like that but it's cool, I've been paying for the car ever since but ive never dreamed of getting rid I it (I think I'm attached to it

But it's alright)

Still loving it

[SkyBlue92]

Also, how can I telling it's a GT-V?? Lol sorry I'm good with guessing the problems n my UNO friends think I'm some kinda grease monkey but I'm only with the basics which is why I'm on the forum invade I need ur guys's help ^__^

I'm also having trouble posting pictures ( when I try it says to contact the administrator)??

[SkyBlue92]

Btw.. Sorry about all the spelling it's my I-phones auto correct..

[thekidd]

Do you have blue GT badges on the sides of your front fenders?

Do you have a 25GT badge on the rear of your car?

You could use the VIN fasting thread on this site to see what your car really was at factory.

Does the rocker cover/engine cover say "Turbo" on it? Do you have the same intake manifold as the pic below?

GTV will be a non turbo skyline with the turbo brakes and strut bars, etc.

[SkyBlue92]

Hey that's my engine O_O

Yes on the blue GT badges,

Yes 25GT badge on rear,

Engine doesn't say turbo..

But yeah the other stuff ^__^

Yay so that means what? It's a GT-V? Or (I'm such a noob)

[Mohsen]

Sounds like its a 25GT,

GTV has sumitomo brakes a round, turbo sway bars, turbo alloys, red GT badges, turbo diff and a couple other things I might have missed.

[SkyBlue92]

Ok either way it's alright lol,

So that means its a factory non-turbo or they just ripped out the set up excluding the ECU?
