none of the reasons you have presented make it a good reason to convert your car

you should just sell yours and buy a GTST and be done with it

it will take more time, cost more and end up with a 3/4 done job by converting it

[G0DZLR]

yeah well rain might be an issue but if your driving or not parked on a downward slope you should be right. maybe putting the seal back there with the washers in place might stil give some breathing space. it doesnt look bad at all. a mates done his R32 and it just makes it look more angry haha

well if you havent read it all then you obviously jumped to conclusions..im on my Ps under the laws and all the cops know my car in gladstone and as far as they know its the same a vl motor a non turbo they all know that so....

[LUME]

well this thread is going to live again my mate whos a boiley me and him were talkling tonight were going to set it up stealth ive bought a new ute to drive and my cars pretty much going to be getting a complete rebuild over the next year hes taking the turbo off his xr6 and going bigger so he palmed it off to me :| its big yes but ill get everything done right so when it goes pop then ill put in some forgies

[Line 3]

hey lume

are you keeping your exhaust that u got or are you upgrading??

[LUME]

didnt get the exhausut done once i hit a pole i really dont know what to do with the car jsut contemplating respraying it gates timing belt kit new water pump alternator putting in the hid's new tyres new wheel bearing and selling it, im barly home as my works always taking me to cairns mackay blackwater and stuff so i could see the car in better hands plus if i was going to rebuild a car id want a 32 gtr instead its got everything big brakes 4wd already turbo, sjut buy something with moderate mods put a dog box in and itd jsut be a weekender i jsut bought a new ranger for a daily cops pull me up wayy too much in the skyline P plate skyline go figure

[Line 3]

yeh i see lol

id rather sell and buy a turbo line aswell.

what exhaust have u got on it now ? or is just a cannon?

how many kms has your car got??

[LUME]

yeah well more thinking and looking at the work i have over the next year im open to offers atm its good needs a respray and some panel work needs the new wheel bearing ive got put in but other wise a very good car i think its got roughly 138 500 on it, parents are buying 40 acres so only logical thing to do is build a shed with a house type setup in it and buy something a little later on instead of it sitting around collecting dust, yeah jsut a caqnnon on it came with the car cars pretty much stock always looked after oil changed every 4000k

[Line 3]

Just curious, but are you aware of the costs/punishment of being caught driving a turbo car?

Is it really worth it?

Not to mention the issues surrounding insurance for you and other parties involved...should the worst happen...

thats why you keep the non-turb parts

How many years have u got left on ur P's?

This conversion will prob take ages and by the time its perfect, you will prob be off ur P's. You're better off waiting and trading in ur NA for a GTSt. Less headaches that way. Are you also going to replace the gearbox coz from what i understand the NA gearboxes are not as strong as the GTSt's.

Not sure what the law in Qld is, but you might be able to drive a GTSt insured if its in ur parent's name and is the only car in the household. I know in Vic there is some provision for this sort of thing, but if I were you, I'd be looking into any sort of loophole in QLD law that will allow you to drive it.

afaik GTS's and GTSts share the same boxes, just with different ratios for obvious reasons. the conversion could be done in a weekend provided you have everything necesary. mines been a slow progression over about 2 months, even now still ironing out minor faults, but its come a long way

VIC does have provisions and such.

nah its not worth it anymore selling the car open to offers going to cairns for a 5500sqm job soon so

Browser had a hissy fit. As I was saying.

To the original poster, can you afford to lose your car AND pay for the other person's car if you have an accident? Don't say it won't happen, because it does.

Justcar and that quite frequently inspect imports that have been in accidents, and if they spot you're driving an illegal vehicle they won't pay you a cent.

sell NA

buy GTST

done

easiest and most cost efficient way to go about this dilemma, no offence dude but common sense really
