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 dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
