hey there

i'm looking at buying a skyline (GTR34) and funnily enough i'm still on my Ps.

does anyone know if it is possible to remove the twin turbos from the engine?

and what will need to be done.. such as new manifolds and whatnot?

or would i just be a better idea, to buy a second engine to fit until i'm off my P's?

any help would be great.

thanks

no you cant change manifolds and turbos and even if you could it would run gay and be f**king useless and even stuill your insurance would stillbe f**kloads. the insuracne is basedon car , not wether its twin turbo or not so it wont make any difference

yup school holidays it is

kids should be tagged with a microchip these days... that way as soon as they get near a computer MSN automatically opens up, and they're restricted from posting nothing other than "OMG","WTF","BBQ","lollolol","sXc" and "yUpZ" on automotive forums.

Hehe your real name is super tim?

what do you expect to get when you say you want a GTR, let alone an r34. and your on your P's...

you not making a good impression of the younger guys to the grownups@!

i think im 'kool, wikid and awsem' enough to be driving my car... but you have to consider petrol is expensive, insurance is a bitch, the list goes on if you dont have a commo. which is why i dont have insurance but thats ok, because i dont have any money for petrol either.

come to think of it, a poster of a skyline in my garage would have been much cheaper.

by the way, funkymonkey you had me at "BBQ"

:lol:

Umm... I tought the school holiday is over a week ago must be one of rich-ass private school kids with a parents who throws lots of cash...

Why the hell you want to change the engine on GT-R? It spoils the dymanic of the Skyline breed.

Why not buy 25GT since it's NA... This way, insurance will be less bitcher than GT-R.

Sure, everyone dreams about owning R34 GT-R... we all do.

Cheers

Grant

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
