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.

basically you cant do it at all, just wait till your off ya p's bro, get something cheap and good on fuel, cause your gonna need it when your future skyline f**ks up.

or he wraps it around a tree..

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

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
