It means it was, from factory, a Non Turbo car.

Now that means the person you bought it from, who told you it was an "EX-Turbo" had gone and turbo'ed a non turbo car, then removed it all and sold it as stock non turbo again.

This isn't as bad as a Turbo car that had been neutered of its turbo and running low compression.

You do not have a 25GT-V but you do have a 25GT. Still, that's good news for you. thumbsup.gif

More likely it means the seller didn't know what they were talking about. Probably thought that all Skylines are turbocharged so this one must have been deturboed.

That's what I'm thinking too. But then again, some the habibs and morons out there would be stupid enough to go to the trouble of turboing an NA and unturboing it.. lol..

I'm thinking the same as you though Hanaldo. It's probably just a factory non turbo stock as a rock. They hype it up to people who know nothing about cars by slipping that magical word in. 'turbo'

Very nice, & welcome !

Love the Nismo front bar - looks very very nice with the wheels, in blue.

If you get sick of the wheels one day down the track simply powdercoat them white, would look even better IMO & is pretty cheap to do.

R34 Nismo-kit side skirts arnt expensive, if you can find them, & would finish off the 'looks' very nicely.

    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
    • It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
    • R35 card MAFs are great, not a fan of the Z32
    • Long time no see, I haven't posted since 14 years ago... To cut to the chase, R32 GTR. dead stock. Split wastegate hose = stock turbos were overboosting = front turbo's exhaust wheel has shattered. Have done a compression test following this and the results are (dry, cold) - 120 / 60 / 75 / 110 / 150 / 150. Haven't bothered with a wet test or leakdown test. The results definitely support front turbo failure (on 1-3) however the low compression on #4 is concerning too. Can anyone share their experience of when their turbine wheel shattered and damaged their motor - and what work needed to be done afterwards? Pistons? Rings? Valves? Throwing in the bin or salvageable? Motor is 100% stock. Will be getting it looked at further soon - I don't have a borescope and head hasn't come off (yet).
