It's not as simple as removing your turbo mate, the DET models vs the DE models have a different compression ratio, you're better off buying an N/A Line until you're off your P's.

Or move here to WA and drive any kind of car you want whilst on your P's.

Also, this topic has been covered so many times on SAU, you should try searching.thumbsup.gif

as was said above, it isn't as simple as just pulling off the turbo. if you were to go to the trouble of doing it you would end up a skyline that is about as fast as a hyundai excel, and i'm being deadly serious. in a race a completely standard non turbo skyline would leave you for dead. there is also the fact that the car is registered as a turbo, so just taking the turbo off doesn't make it legal to drive.

moral of the story, you should've used your brain and not bought a car that is illegal for you to drive. either sell it and buy a natro or park it in the garage until such time as you can legally drive it. the cost to remove the turbo and then reinstall it once you can drive a turbo car (if you are paying a workshop to do it) would be a large part of the cost of buying a non turbo skyline

seriously p platers are dumb, there are always threads about them wanting to take the turbo off, ffs cant you just go out and buy a non turbo, like me. its not that hard, and its quite simple to interpret the laws, so i dont see a problem.

p.s this is coming from an l plater, soon to be a p plater

..... Again ... Sell it and buy a non-turbo, Keep it and buy a shitbox till your off your P's or Keep driving around and getting caught are your only smart options.

If you even swap engines you will still need to get it engineered as above. It is not worth the hastle.

you are allowed to swap in another factory engine for the same model on p plates.

      All I'm hearing is sequential swap time. Gives you a shifter, and crisp hard fast shifts. You can even use flappy paddles with them. You just can't give the shifter the side to side shake to make sure you're in neutral

      I used "different strokes for different folks" quite pointedly as honestly, there is no wrong when it comes to choosing what you like.  I always day dreamed about flappy paddles with fast shifts in a sporty RWD Turbo and to me the sound and feel of it cutting through gears in a steady stream is exciting, engaging, and keeps the car better balanced - I *also* like h-patterns, but I find them more engaging and fun in a nice hoonable peaky NA thing.  Type-R Integra/old school NA rotary, things that are raw and need all the rpm where picking the gear and getting it sky high is part of the engagement of the whole thing despite the fact that they probably need closer ratios and faster shifts even more than a 3l turbo thing haha

      If I wasn't allowed or really had the desire to visit China it would probably fit in my carry on, but I have no desire, Japan would be nice during Cherry Blossom time though I might need to chat to Jackie about that, that should actually be an easy conversation though as she is currently talking about another cruise, cruise ship to Japan, a week in Japan to see the sights, then cruise home I may even be able to find those OEM NC Recaro seats over there that I cannot find here 🤔
