hi guys just wondering i am going thru with the turboing of the car and was wondering if i need to fit a new bar to the car or can i use the existing one. and does the reo bar need to be changed. oww and do i need to get it re complianced under a turbo car???. i talked to the blokes at jis and am getting most the kit cheap, if it cant be done properly it might be time to buy that gtr that looked great in the sunlight, cheers in advance michael.

why do you need to change the front bar and re-compliance you haven't swapped engines if its complied already then leave it if not don't put turbo on wait till its complied

you wont need a new front bar just because you got a turbo installed

but you will want to think about

5stud conversion - for larger choise of rims

GTSt brake conversion - for better stopping

na just make sure its all done good if you ever get pull over only have factory blow off valve make sure POD filter is very secure make it LOOK stock standard and its all good 90% of skylines are turbo (well maybe not that high but very high) so if you do get pulled over chances are they wont know your model isnt

also turbo or not you pay the same for registration

You will have a LOT of trouble insuring a non-turbo car that has been turbo'd. And you have massive costs including injectors, ECU, wiring loom etc etc. Just not worth the effort. Sell it, and buy a Gtst.

Who are you with Steve?

Yeah I guess if it states it on the insurance form then they have no come-back against you.

I would suggest you are with the only insurer who will do it, as I know most won't touch such a car. Until very recently you had ordinary non-turbo brakes and discs trying to stop a high-powered turbo car .... not sure I would like to be insuring you when that was the case ;)

im with Famous and was with Just Cars Prior both were insurerd as GST4 na modified with turbo

yeah about the brakes that's why i didn't go too full on in the hills i had brake fade on 2 occasions and its not nice

    • 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?
