Converting A Turbo R33 To N/a Non Turbo

Hey everyone,

My girlfriend has just bought her dream car (97 R33 Series 2). It is currently turbo but it has to come off because some big gun in the government does not realise that you can speed in any car.

The guy she is getting the car from (Joel from Aussie Car Compliance - TOP bloke real fair prices and real honest) is organising for his mechanics to remove the turbo as soon as we have sourced the needed parts.

I have been told by a few people that it will not run as well as it does now without the turbo. I honestly dont know shit about cars and just want to make sure that everything that is needed to be done - is definately DONE so no damage is done to the car. She does not mind that the car will not be as powerful.

I have been informed by a few mechanics that I need the following parts to convert it to non turbo -

- Manifold

- Dump pipe

- Engine pipe

- Air intake meter pipe

She does not mind that the car will not be as powerful - I just want to make sure its still reliable and stable.

Ive sourced a manifold and an engine pipe to suit, but am still looking for a DUMP PIPE and a AIR INTAKE PIPE. I have called around but nobody seems to have em! I even sunk low enough to call the "mechanics" at unique autosports in castle hill that know less than I do and I literally got a blunt "we wouldnt be interested in stuff like that" reply.

If anyone knows where I can get them from, please let me know !

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

Mate have you considered trading vehicles with someone that currently has a none turbo charged vehicle? You could potentially walk away with a few thousand dollars, and save a skyline having its testacal(s) removed.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
