hey guys, just had my subaru break on me and could be a pricey fix so i thought about a skyline or a silva around the 1992 to 1996 mark. now most of these are turbo cars and as i am still a p plater just wondering how hard is it to make non-turbo plus will if have any repercussions on the car reliability wise?

thanks

I really don't understand this. I'm trying to put myself into the position of one of these people that make these threads. This is what they must think to create such a thread:

"Damn I'm on my P's and can't drive a turbo car, maybe if I just take the turbo off, I can get around this law! Hell yeah, I can't believe no one has thought of that before! Hahaha i'm so smart for thinking of this. Hmmm I don't really know what de-turboing a car means though, what do I actually have to do?? Oh!! I know, i'll quickly start a thread and some one will answer this for me. It can't be that hard. Hmmm should I search to see if a thread about this allready exists?? Nah, no way some one has thought of this idea before, other wise every one would be doing it! Righteo lets start this thread."

This thought process must happen at least once a week to some one new.

Besdies the point of the extra effort of de turboing a car and it being worse then a normal NA skyline you have the main issue, even if you de turbo a turbo car it stil does not make it legal for you to drive because it is registered as a turbo so if the cop wants to be a flamin mongrel hell still dick you so you might aswell drive it turbo if this is the road you want to take. As others said go buy a NA skyline.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
