How dissapointing... My brand new r33 gts-t baby just imported from japan, straight into the shop to get its turbo taken out and replaced with a non turbo manifold just so i can drive it on my P's. :) . Though i did get to drive it on my L's as a turbo for a few drives and i can see why people love turbos so much. Although the reason why im doing all this is so when i get off my P's i can wack it all back in without much money. Just to let u guys no what such a gay feeling it is to feel your fast baby turned into a fat baby... slow :) I should be getting my car back this weekend hopefully it hasnt turned too slow. Keep u guys posted about my FAT BABY

Yes its legal because the importer i got it from deals with p platers all the time and they do what i had to do, and they cant book you or anything because it isnt turbo'd even if its registered as one. Plus i got it back and even though im really happy i have the car but sooo much power has gone.. the exhaust sounds really bad because the turbo "buffs", takes the shitty piston/manifold noise out and now it doesnt have it, when u start getting to high rpm (not even real high rpm like past 3k+ revs) just sounds like a lancer with a cannon on the back. I was just wondering if anyone new what i could do so it sounds good again?

Just stick a stock system on it as well, no need for noise when it don't go fast, and the cops will hassle you less too.

Stock systems are readily available and are quite cheap, as no-one wants them.

cheers

I doubt because an importer says its legal makes it legal...

Not knowing enough about the rules i wont comment much further but if a cop wants to kick your arse for it im sure they can. Could come down to needing to have it re-registered as a non-turbo.

serisouly. why didn;t you buy a non turbo one or just buy a non turbo car of any sort till you could have one.

now you have a 9.0:1 compression, 2.5, non turbo, 1390kg car that will drive like shit.

surely you could have researched this forum for opinions and others experience on this.

way to re-invent the wheel.

I can't believe that you took the word of a "salesmen" about the product he is selling as the truth.

I bet you also believe that McDonalds healthy range is actually good for you too hey?

i never knew that it was possible to do that legally..Does the car run the turbo ecu ? If so how does it run ?..IF its 100% legal as you say then well done !!! simple job to swap it all back over once your P's are gone

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • 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.
