Hello,

Ive had my gtt for around three months now and most of the members of my household cannot drive turbo cars. So here i am sitting here thinking why the F*** did i buy a turbo!!

Without selling the entire car, is there any way the turbo can be blocked or taken off so that it runs as a six NA?

If i cannot do this than is anyone interested in trading a Gt-t R34 for the NA four door :)

Thanks guys

no it is still classified as a turbocharged car, even if you pull the turbocharger off. the compliance plate, rego and papers all will say gtt turbocharged so it wont matter. why cant they drive it? over power the weight rule for their age?

well did u buy the car for them or for you? why do u worry about everyone else in your house so much?

I worry, because there is four of them who cannot drive it...

The four of them are on their P's and in sydney cannot drive her

Im pretty deadset on doing it, but you've just answered my question in one.. thanks

Hey Mate,

Isn't it legal to drive a turbo if it's your "only" family car? Just sign off your other cars to trusted family members (even though they still yours, no one will know) and that way your kids can drive it.

I'm not 100% sure if the family car exemption is still available double check...

dude its your car..... did u pay for it ?

I can totally understand what your saying, but the plus's far outway the minus's .

Yes i paid for it, all $28, 000

Im also not the father of the family, im only ninteen, im refering to my 3 brothers and 1 sister. Yes, its insured

de turboing a skyline is like puttin a gtr engine in a mustang, should never be done yet alone thought of. but i do however understand your predicament, i would do as nizmoid suggested and keep the skyline for yourself :)

Tell them to buy there own f*kkin cars lol. Asif make your car crapper (which you cant do anyways) for them to drive it! You must be a really nice guy to consider that... but no lol

just buy a shitbox for 2k

$500per person

problem solved

Very good idea!

i think i have the solution for you

ill trade u my 1996 hyundai lantra for it - its definately non-turbo - fun for your whole family! i know its not an equal trade so... throw in a few hundred for me too.

if you deturboed the car, would they neccesarily wish to drive it? Aside from diggin into your personal business like everyone else, to de-turbo the car, you would need to transplant in a non-turbo engine, or the essential non-turbo parts from a non-turbo r34 - these are very rare and therefore expensive. You'd probably be best off selling the car, even if you did 'modify' the engine, it may still be registered as turboed, and if not, the car will be 'modified' and possibly therefore illegal anyways.

ok, well the problem with de-turboing a turbo motor is that the internals aren't like a non-turbo motor. they are designed to have less compression (the boost makes up the difference). this means that if you de-turbo it it will have less power than a non-turbo motor.

it would be easier to sell the car and get a non turbo car. to remove the turbo you would have to get a new manifold, block all the turbo water and oil lines lines, get a new exhaust (if it has a 3", since a 3" on a n/a car would be extremely noisey, and actually reduce the power output), and probably retune the computer to alter the timing.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
