Just buy an RB25DE and get it swapped in. You'll probably need the exhaust as well.. chat to someone like unigroup engineering, they can go through everything with you.

you'll need wiring loom etc. as well.

Keep the gearbox though... gtst gearboxes are solid.

I you just take the turbo out and replace exhaust manifold with a non turbo one and replace where ever ur intake plumbing with just a pipe going to ur airbox you could do that. But don't you will end up with an engine with less power than a non turbo engine since the lower compression ratio. just swap in a new engine and sell ur old turbo one you might even make a a bit of money if you sell the turbo engine.

buy a non turbo R33 then

it's gonna cot you more than its worth to change the engine

It is really hard to find a skyline without a turbo, that is why i was thinking about buying one and taking out the turbo. But i think i might keep looking if it'll cost more

sounds like that could cost more than i would pay for the car, i would be better of to keep looking for a skyline that doesn't have a turbo

Not to mention that, unless you have a fetish for non turbo RB engines (if so. get help), a turbo car with non tubro engine is still a turbo car as far as the laws is concerned. So yes, keep looking for a non turbo one.

That being said, if you found a non turbo car that had been converted to a turbo one, you could legally remove the turbo and put normal minfolds back on and drive it legall, as far as i can tell.

thanks will keep that in mind.

It not hard at all to find a non turbo skyline. R31s are almost 95% non turbo, there are also heaps of non turbo r34's for around the price of a turbo r33, i see them all the time on carsales.

Seriously if you are on your p's dont bother owning anything to expensive, just buy a old rwd corolla or something and learn how to drive before you spend a fair bit of money on a car.

I did my p's in a ae86 and it was the best thing i ever did, didn't care/matter if i had a minor stack, cheap to run and insure.

If your not on your p's then siff want a non turbo skyline :teehee:.

thanks for that bit of info, will try looking harder for a non turbo skyline. Should be able to find one. Am thinking about waiting til i'm off my p's but i can't help myself but want one already

I'm going to start counting from now on how often this shit gets asked on here.

I will assume you are on your P plates and therefore can not drive a turbocharged vehicle. Buying a turbocharged car and taking a turbo off does not change a thing. The car was still complianced and registered as a turbocharged car. Therefore it is still illegal for you to drive! Why don't you people ever understand this, it is not that hard to understand!

+1 AND P platers cant drive modified cars. Removing a turbo IS a modification!

Only prob with almost all the r34 non turbo models is 95% are friggin auto's. They are cheap though, around 8k.

Seriously save your coin and just wait till your of your p's, you can go nuts then.

yer i'm finding that out too. I will just wait til i'm off my p's will be much easier to get a car when i'm off them

NA 33's aren't all that hard to find. I picked mine up off carsales for 3k with 6 months rego and some minor issues.

Quick look on carsales just now has shown me at least 5 within the first couple of pages.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
