100% agree with you. The car isn't worth much. It is just the demand on "P plate legal" Skylines (or any sporty car) that pushes the price up. :D

My advice for the OP - nothing wrong with the car - but paying the price of a turbo for a non-turbo car is un-fair on you IMHO. Dealerships and people in the know are ripping off P platers.

End of the day your money, each to their own etc....

;)

I reckon it's best to buy it privately off another P-plater who are in a rush to sell their car to upgrade to turbo lol.

But the car might be thrashed.... But then again, what skyline hasn't been pushed before hehe

The price is high becuase of market demand.

Think about it - the criteria this car has.

- Coupe

- Manual

- Big brakes

- Skyline

- R34

- P-plate legal

Probably the ultimate n/a R34 setup straight of of the factory.

Easiest car to eventually turbo charge (if you decide to) - as it is a manual and has all the support mods needed for a turbo - such as big brakes.

^Exactly right, P-platers want skylines but due to the restrictions can't drive a turbo, forcing the prices of N/A's up and the turbos to drop, there aren't many decent N/A 34s around nowadays.

I've had my car off the road 8 months for a shop trying to get a N/A R34 turned into a turbo one by way of replacing.. apparently f**king everything and still maybe "not possible"

Epic.

So who knows, maybe I'll sell you mine for $5 and just wish you luck with it.

I'll be putting mine up for 14 this weekend and should sell quickly, even if you look at n/a 33s they are expensive and only a couple on there.

Some P plater will love my car and just fork out i think

My bro got his r34 gt-v converted to turbo. Simple as n/a engine out. Turbo engine in. Hook up looms to the engine and ecu. Started first time.

Yea..... I just don't see how it can take 8 months and they reckon it might be "impossible" lol. Oh wells....

I think putting in a DEt engine is much easier than making a DE+t

Yes, it is easier, but you will still have some headaches in sourcing parts and there's always a chance that something will go wrong with the conversion?

So for the prices turbos are now, you might as well just sell the NA and buy a turbo :P

Took Femno 2 days to get it going lol. We dropped the car off and he already started ripping the engine out :P I guess making a de+t would be harder but still not that long unless the mechanic is useless

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      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.
