yeah fair enough but thats easier said than done for someone in my position. i would rather get the job done , route all the piping close to the chassis railing and have all in matte black to make it look somewhat stock. otherwise just drive it stock turbo, keep it a sleeper and if i get caught sell up and buy something legal.

So

you can get pinged for- Modified vehicle, Power-Weight, Unroadworthy vehicle, Major defect, EPA, plus the offense for which you are pulled over. This will be expensive, prob get the 5points needed for a loss of license too if you don't have P's up or are speeding etc.

Then if that doesn't put you off, If you are in an accident, TAC injury insurance and your Property insurance won't cover you after they inspect the vehicle.(Assuming write-off accident).

Have I put you off yet?

Buy something sensible, drive sensible, spend the money on other areas of the car, and just enjoy the freedom and learning to drive. R34 GT-V is pretty much an R34 GT-T minus the RB25DET IIRC. Any skyline with an RB25DE will be quick(not fast, fast doesn't matter due to speed limits) enough. R32's do come factory with RB25DE if you look hard enough.

My opinion.

screw it, I'll take the risk and drive a turbo 32/33, when i get pulled over I'll say its my dad's car hopefully the cop is nice bloke, otherwise the worst thing that can happen to me according to vicroads is 3 demerit points and a fine. and then buy another Fiat 124

LOL @ people who try and claim non turbo RB's are in any way fast (RB30 is slightly better, but no rocket).

IMHO don't bother with a Skyline til you can legally drive (and by that time afford) a decent turbo one, you'll thank yourself for it.

I wouldnt man....A guy in the qld section, i wont say who, has done just this and he will get screwed

Any officer that see's a kid that cant shave yet in the drivers seat of a turbo car....and doesnt take action is fkn reckless.

Is it really worth it? :P

And what about insurance? If you hit a new bmw, you will be paying it off for the rest of your life.

i was thinking that if the car's registered in my dads name and insured in his name with me as second driver i would be alright but thats a risk i don't want to take.

theres a R32 with an RB25DE for sale right now which is is obviously a very sensible idea which I'm considering Plus if i were to do internal Mods theres no way for police to check, right?

you'll find you 'won't' be right. Just because you can have insurance, doesn't mean you are covered.

DE & mods - why would you waste your time? Dead money.

Drive it, save the cash, then buy whatever you want 2-3 years from now and spend the cash you've saved.

yeah makes sense, sounds like a good idea .

someone else hit the right note.. buy a skyline later down the track and drive something else for now. vtec is good mmmkay. no really it is..

expensive to modify + FWD - but top motor's none-the-less that go very hard

You can't be a secondary driver on a turbo car, forget that bullshit right away. The most important thing is this. If you are driving a car that is banned for you to drive and you get into an accident that kills some one, even if it wasn't directly your fault you will be screwed for life, no insurance, no CTP, nothing, just jail. If you think that is worth the risk than go for it, but your an idiot either way.

guess I'm after a GTS25 then, there's one for sale in my state ATM too

Hey Jordan, whats the point? u dont need to prove to anyone that ur car can go fast. And no, u cant get away with an illegal car. I was extremely, i realized, to never hav been pulled over in the 33 till 2 weeks before i got off my p's. Tryin to hide your turbo,,,blah blah blah will just cost u more and you'll be major screwed with insurance if u crash.

No dont buy a corolla..........if your going to get an old toyota atleast get a crown/cressida. OR buy a cheap non turbo gts4 :P and do a 26 conversion when you get on to your opens :D easy peasy. That is if you are really intent on buying a skyline now. Otherwise then yes I would drive a shitty old vl or something like that around and just get a gtr when im on my opens. But a corolla.........noooooo

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
