it would struggle to make power due to lower compression you would also need exhaust manifolds and non turbo ECU

are you already on your P's, and whats the rule going to say if you have said car registered in your name before the rule comes in

hey guys,

i was just wondering if it would be posible to take a turbo skyline (R32 or R33) and take the turbo off while on my ps because of the new p plate laws coming for south australia and put it back on after im off my ps ?? or would there be engine mods needed or wateva? Thanks.

ummm no.!

you will lose way to much power different compression ratios between turbo/non turbo models.

get a different car put the line in the shed until ur off ya P plates or just buy a non turbo car if ur that worried.

regards

Allan.M

if the law does come in, then selling a non turbo skyline down the track will be easier than selling one now without those laws :D

hahah Allan

non turbo R34 are very cheap from japan

EDIt

if your choice is only 32 or 33 get the 33 with a RB25de as the 20 would have even less guts again

R33 = RB25

R32 = RB20

GTS = DE

GTSt = DET

R33 GTS4 = RB25DE

You missed a few out

R32 - RB25DE Seen a few of these getting around

And the very rare R32 - RB26DE but I doubt you'd ever find one.

a little more info :D

didnt know you could get a CA18 in a R32, and looks like all the 25's were double cams only a couple 20 single cams

The R32 range:

GXi - The bare basic model R32 1.8 litre, rwd, non-turbo, no extras.

GTE - 2 litre family model, four door, non turbo, single overhead cam.

GTS - 2 ltr, in-line 6. DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, RWD, standard sports model.

GTS25 - 2.5ltr, in-line 6. DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, RWD, non-turbo, sports model.

GTSt - 2 ltr, in-line 6 cyl, DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, RWD, turbo charged sports car.

GTS4 - 2 ltr, in-line 6 cyl, DOHC, EFI, 2 & 4 drs, 4WD, turbo - some feature GTR specs (eg ATTESSA 4WD)

GTR - 2.6ltr, in-line 6 cyl DOHC, EFI, 2 dr, twin turbo, 4WS, 4WD, ABS, HICAS...

Basic R32 Specification Chart:

Model Engine Type Description Power Output CC Drive Doors GXi CA18i 1.8litre 4cyl 91PS/5200rpm 1809 RWD 4 door

GTE RB20E 2ltr, 6 cyl, single cam 97kw@5600rpm 172Nm@4400rpm 1998 RWD 4 door

GTS RB20DE 2ltr, 6 cyl, double overhead cam 116kw@6400rpm 184Nm@5200rpm 1998 RWD 2 & 4 dr

GTS25 RB25DE 2.5ltr, 6 cyl, DOHC 142kw@6400rpm 231Nm@4800rpm 2498 RWD 2 & 4 dr

GTSt RB20DET 2ltr, 6cyl, dohc, turbo 160kw@6400rpm 263Nm@3200rpm 1998 RWD 2 & 4 dr

GTS4 RB20DET 2ltr, 6cyl, dohc, turbo 160kw@6400rpm 263Nm@3200rpm 1998 4WD 2 & 4 dr

GTR RB26DETT 2.6ltr, 6cyl, twin turbo 208kw@6800rpm 368Nm@4400rpm 2568 4WD 2 dr

Decifering the Engine name:

RB - series of engine 20 / 25 / 26 - capacity (20~1998cc / 25~2497cc / 26~2597cc) D - Double Overhead Cam (or DOHC) E - EFI (Electronic fuel injection) T /TT - Turbo / twin turbo

Engine Type:

The R32 generally featured the RB series of engine in all instances except for in the case of the R32 GXi which feature the CA18i engine. This was a four cylinder, 1.8 litre normally aspirated engine.

Special models:

During and after general production, a handful of special models were released in small numbers. These rare cars generally featured a small variation from the normal, and seemed to be more like test models than anything. The Autech R32 is an example of this. The Autech R32 was tuned by Autech and was basically a four door R32 GTR, without the turbos, as it housed an RB26DE in its engine bay and an automatic gearbox. You can deduce from the name that the engine was a 2.6 litre DOHC EFI in-line six normally aspirated variant. Very good for pulling trailers since they have tonnes of torque.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
