Not worth it mate, Do a search as there have been a couple of threads on this. Basically to sum it up a turbo motor has less compression to allow for boost. If you took the turbo off and blocked everything up you would be left with a motor that had less grunt then a factory delivered NA.

Not saying it cant be done but the work envolved you would have to think twice. This price must be damn good as GT's can be picked up for around 20g's these days depending on where you are and four door models are cheaper again.

Or am I guessing because your on your P's you want to take all the gear off and re attach everything when you go of your P's?

Yeh, like he said you won't make much power because of the low comp ratio. Also the car will still say it's a R34 GTT on the chassis or vin and the rego so cops can probably still dog you (especially if they don't know what a turbo is and where to look fo rit)

the car would still be on the rta computers as a gtt with a turbo. So the cops could and most likely would dick you.

If you did change it you would need to have that engineered to say it was ok.

However doubt it would pass, as they could simply say " what stops you bolting it back on after you get the ok to drive it"

Just stick with a NA from factory

They did make Rb26DE's and the put them in sedans im pretty sure. Do asearch on them here as im pretty sure phunky monkey was the one that had all the info on them. I think they were marketed as a good tow vehicle or something from memory??

Is the car already landed here and 20g is the final price or are you looking on an auction website or something?

If it's only a year till you can have a turbo one, i'd just buy a cheap economical car for a year, and use the money saved on petrol, insurance and buggerizing around making it NA, to modify the turbo one when you are allowed to drive it. The price for the car will come down in 12 months as well. You would really just be throwing money down the drain if you paid for someone to convert it to NA and then paid them again 12 months later to turn it back to turbo. Thats got to be a couple of grand spent on a car that after the outlay of extra money is still a stock GTT.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
