Are you seriously considering buying a GTR on your L's??! Your only 16 mate, you still got 4 years until you can drive those...

Buy any NA and wait until your on your fulls. Don't be one of those idiots who drive a turbo on their p's, it's just not worth it... (unless exempted)

Buy a R31.

Cheap, fun and you can cut your teeth upgrading them/working on them without worrying that you are going to make an expensive f**k up. Plus, they look great!

x2. Plus most p platers will bang the car up at some stage, its good to know you arent driving a gtr when you slap the front up a gutter! lol

Welcome.

some good advice above. I was in your boat a few years ago, the night was young and i was full of optimism....etc.

I personally wouldn't bother with an NA skyline or any overstated import for my P's. They are WAAAAYY overpriced, and a police magnet.

Also these cars are getting old so rust and general misuse and neglect is becoming more prominent on most of the GTS's and GTST's as every second p plater has them. Even some 32/33 GTR's arnt in too good nick anymore.

Buy a cheap-ish car, dont mod it (unless you HAVE to, and then leave it to basics), bomb around for 3/4 years, save your pennies then buy a decent BNR33/32 or whatever tickles your fancy when you get on your opens

I tend to agree with the post so far.

I rekon wait unless your 100% in love with the GTS.

Other wise It might feel like you were driving a honda with no V-TEC or a BMW 135i with an M1 bodykit?

End of the day - do what you feel is best. But reliability is actually something you want on your P's (so in other words mum was right)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
