How far are you through your P2 license? Becuase I've got news for you and it's all bad.

It's not just as simple as removing the turbo to make it "P-plat legal". The engine is designed for a turbo and has a much lower compression ratio than a N/A engine. If you remove the turbo, the car will run like shit and be completely underpowered. And guess what? The car still isn't tehnically legal, because it's registered as a turbocharged car through the transport department.

People have tried this on more than one occasion, despite all common sense. The one conclusion they have sadly come to is that it's a waste of time and money.

Pro-tip. Drive a P-plate legal car until you're on an unrestricted license and buy a turbocharged car or buy a turbocharged car as a project, whilst still driving your original car.

Buy a cheap ford laser and drive it around until your off your p's buying a NA skyline is like banging your sister might of seemed like a good idea at the time but your never gonna want to admit it or live it down.

Boobs make no difference but + 1 for driving course

and as said by a normal car or just a GTS and then once on opens drop an RB25DET in or buy the Car then

not quite sure what you being female changes. if anything it opens you up for blonde or kitchen/sammich jokes

before purchasing your car, perhaps invest in a less ambiguous name than casey.

from what i have seen being a female changes alot.. my housemates gf drives a s13 sr20det ... no front mount and looks standard and she has been pulled over heaps of times and never asked about it being turbo ... i could bet if it was a guy driving that would be the first thing they ask....Shes on green p's, has had this car since she got her red p's

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
