Possible?


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I've been doing my research and all the answer are not clear to me. I'm 17 and buying a R32 Skyline GTS-T. Due to the new law my turbo must be taken out.. Although there is also a prohibited vehicles banned list... In this list it contains the following of the r32 model:

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 2D COUPE TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 4A 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 2D COUPE TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 5M 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 4D SEDAN TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 4A 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

NISSAN SKYLINE GTS-T HR32 4D SEDAN TURBO 6 1998 cc TURBO MPFI 5M 1/01/1990 1/12/1993 TURBO 6

now in the release dates it starts at 1990 and discontinues at 1993... Althought R32's start in production November 1989.. Is it possible for me to still drive this skyline if it's a 1989 skyline GTS ... without turbo etc? Just wanna be sure before i buy anything..

Thanks guys

buy the turbo register under your parents name........take off the T from the badge if there is one. Make sure you don't useless things like BOV on it or a FMIC untill you are legal to have it.

Otherwise get a corolla, drive it for a few years until you crash it then buy a line......chances are you will crash it

A skyline has been in the family before, i drive it to school sometimes.. although it's time i get my own, i need it to be completely legal etc. I'm not after engine, i'm after looks and sound.. so if the R32 GTS25 model are legal, why the hell not.. Also if the 1989 models are legal.. that 2. not sure which is better

Even if the car is registered in my parents name i still can't drive it...

If it has a turbo...Its banned, whether it be on the list or not. Registering it under you parents name, dont go there... Best go to the RTA website and download the exemption form, I'm sure you will think of something then :(

Where's the confusion? It has no turbo. It has no V8. It's not on the list. How much more obvious did you want it?

And I'm not sure how much of your beloved "sound" you're going to get, since the laws also prohibit new P platers from driving any car with modifications that alter "engine performance".

So unless you like the sound of an untouched RB25DE with a factory intake and exhaust, you may be a tad disappointed.

mmmm finding an r32 with a rb20, manual, is hard enough as it is.. Little to no chance of finding and rb25de 32...

I got a R33 gts... good fun... not as fun as a turbo.. but still fun.

Yea your only option i'd say is to try and get an exemption.. dammit i should have tried that... might do that soon, if i plan on buying a 32 gts-t :)

Thanks for all your input guys...

scathing I don't think it works out that way, i think all the cars on that list are banned with or without the turbo or supercharger...

Also What you think i can get the exemption from... Yeah i need a skyline for the country :(... hehe...

ok dude... how many times do we have to say that IF THE CAR IS NOT LISTED ON THE BANNED LIST IT IS ALOUD TO BE DRIVEN BY P PLATERS

THAT MEANS:

ANY NON TURBO SKYLINE IS ALOUD TO BE DRIVEN BY A P PLATER

so... YOU CAN BUY A R32 GTS25 (NON TURBO) AND DRIVE IT WITHOUT HEADACHES

same goes for a R33 and R34

Just remember if the car is high performance/turbo/supercharger then it's banned even i it's not on the list.. so a '89 GTST will still be banned.

Best/easiest bet is a r33 whale NA

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
