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

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
