Hey all,

I'm looking for a reccomendation of a workshop in the Illawarra area, say wollongong etc? That can remove a turbo off a R33 GTST and convert it to an NA? I know it sounds stupid. But has anyone done anything like this and any idea of cost?

I really really like the specific car, it has about six thousand dollars worth of wheels tyres and suspension that are a big plus aswell as the body being in really good condition so i really want this car. And then in two years time obviously put the turbo back on.

Any help would be very appreciated please!

Thank you'

Wow first reply and someone dumped on me haha... deserve it but i know.

What about fitting an rb30de? I know the engines cheap but what about getting it fitted and just holding on to the rb25de until im off my p's?

I would really prefer to get this car I know i can keep for a long time, i already love the wheels and suspension setup aswell as the body of the car. Any help please :D

Thanks for the Bezerkly tip too..

As above.

You can't convert the car to NA, as it's classed as a performance modification (although for the worse)

The same withs wapping engines

Your best bet is to buy an N/A one if you want a skyline, and later on convert to turbo.

    • 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... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • 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?
