Hey guys n girls,

New to the forums and to skylines,

Been thinking about buying one for a while but was looking at a 32 GTR since my pintara (first car) is giving me the shits and im thinking about getting rid of it.

Just got some questions and hoping you guys could help me out :P

GTR's come with a stock turbo, how much trouble would i have taking it off and fixing it up the right way to make it P plate legal. I been told that if i take the turbo off it'll ruin the car and run like shit (Worse than a 32 GTS)

Or am I better off just getting a GTS non turbo (If i;m going to do that my budget might let me go for a R33 GTS and one last thing, if i do go for a GTS do you think im better off going the R32 or 33?

Thanks in advance for the help, new to learning about the car but very eger to learn about these monsters smile.gif

Don't try to take the turbos off a gtr,    like whoever told you they are right.  If you buy a nonturbo skyline it will look nice but go a little faster than your pintara.  If you want to go fast keep you pintara and save for a turbo untill you are off you p's.

Wayyyy to many of these threads going up... just get a Non turbo while one P's get to know the skyline etc. Keep it in good condition then when your off P's sell it to another p plater and if you treated it right you will pretty much get what you paid for it back. I really think its the way to go.. dont waste money and get worse performance by taking the turbo off a car, just stupid imo

GTR's are actually twin turbo... so there are two turbos to remove... and yeh horrible for the car.... plus the law still see it as a GTR and then ur REALLY stuffed... even though there are no turbos attached to the car... plus it will barely run...

please search... this thread is 1 or 2 under yours and a bloke is just asking questions after removing a turbo from a gtst.... the outcome is pretty poor....

why would you want to do that to a gtr? just buy a na gts-4, its the same drive train as a gtr.

you could do it. you would have to check if an na rb25 exhuast manifold bolts up to the rb26 and you will probably have to get an exhuast made up for it. also you will need to get it tuned.

just unbolt all the tubo gear and plug up the oil and water feed lines in the block. then bolt up your na manifold and get the exhuast fitted. you will also have to make up an air intake pipe for it and just run a pod filter and dont forget to put the air flow senser in there. jobs prety much done just go get a tune.

other then that taking it off is fairly straght forward. but even if you did this you will be running a low-comp na motor. chances are you will have less power then a stock rb25de.

but honestly dont do it.

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

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
