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.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
