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.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
