First time posting here, been lurking on here for a while now.

Anywho.

I'm going down to brisbane to have a look at a 1993 r33 gts-t with 120k on the clock (might get it, might not). Being on my P plates i know i cannot drive it (not until feb).

Since it will just be me and my mate, we're both on P's. Worse case I'll have to drag my ol' man along for the trip. Now I'm wondering if I disconnect the output of the turbo to the plenum and shove an air filter on at the plenum (or pull of the turbo and block off the exhaust), would I be able to drive it back legally (without getting hassled by the boys in blue) and without harming the car, it's about a 130km drive each way? And I don't plan on driving it anymore until feb.

Cheers

lol it wont drive with just a pod whacekd on at the plenum... will hardly idle at best.

and blocking the exhaust after removing the turbo............................... dot dot dot........ wheres the exhaust meant to get out? lol, No. dont do that.

+1 get someone to drive it home

My god your kidding me dude....

a) It wouldn't drive without the intercooler piping connected since it is an AFM'd car, would want to stall every split second and go through a tank of fuel in half an hour. Not to mention all the other problems caused from a turbo not being connected like oil leaking from the compresor wheel due there being no differential in pressure on the compressor side compared to the inside of the turbo.

b) Pull off the turbo and block off the exhaust, umm you think a car will drive with a blocked exhaust? And also, you really think it is just a matter of "pulling it off".

And finally, the most important one, why can't people understand this, it is registered and complianced as a turbo car. It doesn't matter if you shoved an Excel motor into it and drove it like that. Registered as a turbo car, complianced as a turbo car, therefore you can't drive it, simple as that.

Sorry if this sounds harsh man, but to say you've been on here reading the forums for a while and then ask a question like that....well really...

God.... i was only asking for some advice

A) i don't have a turbo car

B) none of my mates have turbo cars

C) most of the shit i've read from people on the net is just that...shit

so how am i suppose to learn without asking some questions? and i didn't know where the afm is on this car.

for the record, that whole blocking off idea i obviously didn't think right through now did i, it was just a last second thought before i posted.

(admins, can you please remove this thread for me? before i make an idiot of myself some more :banana: )

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
