Hi, I dont know a huge ammount of cars and i was wondering if it is possible to take the turbo out of the engines in cars. To be specific would it be possible to take the turbo out of this car: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...me&__Nne=15 And make it legal for a p plate driver to drive. If this is possible how much would it cost and can you please tell me the full procedure of what you need to do to make it legal for a p plater to drive. By the way its for NSW p plate driver laws

This has been covered about a million times, have a bit of a search and you will find what you are looking for mate.

And in the end I believe that even if you pull the turbo off, it will still be a no go for a p-plater.

Just looked at the link - why on earth would you want to do such a terrible thing to such a nice car!! lol

its possible and it will run fine....... probably. but all those mods are to support a big turbo with big boost. turn it NA and it will have no power and use a crap load of fuel. but yes it will run!

im not sure you can register it anyway, as all Spec R S15s are turbo, as mentioned get an Autech, they are already NA, have plenty of power and are still a beautiful car to drive. in fact the only major difference between the turbo and autech is the lack of a turbo. it still has the brakes and 6 speed gearbox, climate control blah blah. just make sure you have it throughly checked before you buy it

It is possible to remove the Turbo's (yes all 4) from a Yellow Dragon, then if you paint it red you can drive it on your P's, and it is shitloads faster than BMW M3, BMW M5, BMW M6 and a Merc CLS500 (all 2008). and they can be had for around $22,000-$28,000 which should leave daddy some money for your breast Augmentation

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
