hey people just wondering how I would go about reinstalling a turbo on my r33 gts-t as i assume the previous owner removed the turbo due to high performance laws. i'm still on my p's at the moment myself but possibly looking to get bits and pieces for when i'm on my full licence, trying to make it legal or as close to legal as possible. n00b question but what parts ect, would i need? appreciate all the help/advice i can get

Are you sure they just pulled off the turbo? A Turbo engine with no turbo would be crazy slow due to the lower comp. Also, I didnt think it was actually legal to take the turbo off and drive it as they still consider it a turbo car?

Anyways, first step is check the car ever had a turbo on it.

To check whether its a factory turbo the easiest and most simple way is to answer these two questions:

1. Is the GT badge on the front quarter panels RED OR BLUE? Red = GTST ~ Blue = GTS

2. Is your car 4 stud or 5 stud? 5 = GTST ~ 4 = GTS

People change the hubs but almost never change the badges.

If the turbo was removed the car will run like crap and be awfully, dreadfully slow.

ALSO, the car is still ILLEGAL to drive on your p plates as its still a TURBOCHARGED car. Just because a turbocharger is removed doesnt make it legal. Its still a factory turbo, and is registered as such. Getting caught = fine, loss of liscence. Crashing = VOIDED insurance.

Nothing you do will make the car legal for a P Plater. Find turbocharged bits, reinstall. Sell car or keep until off your p's.

LOL @ these threads. I wonder if these are all just kids with N/A 'lines, trying to figure out how to boost them without seeming dodgy, but in the process, looking like a dumbass.

You need one of these bruh:

There's so many of these threads already, do a search, you'll avoid the embarrassment.

and #@colourclassic no harm in asking, if you don't have anything productive to say don't say it

The 25det has 9:1 CR

That is not low compression by any means and whilst (obviously) slower than being turbo charged it WILL be fine until optimusgrime can bolt the turbo gear back on it

This is not 1986 when turbo sohc rb had 7:8 to 1 CR

That's a good point! I must have been flashing back to my vl turbo days :)

Non intercooled rb30et. . With low comp

Wouldnt have been overly nice to drive off boost im sure

Engines/fuel sure have come a long way since then

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
