It means it was, from factory, a Non Turbo car.

Now that means the person you bought it from, who told you it was an "EX-Turbo" had gone and turbo'ed a non turbo car, then removed it all and sold it as stock non turbo again.

This isn't as bad as a Turbo car that had been neutered of its turbo and running low compression.

You do not have a 25GT-V but you do have a 25GT. Still, that's good news for you. thumbsup.gif

More likely it means the seller didn't know what they were talking about. Probably thought that all Skylines are turbocharged so this one must have been deturboed.

That's what I'm thinking too. But then again, some the habibs and morons out there would be stupid enough to go to the trouble of turboing an NA and unturboing it.. lol..

I'm thinking the same as you though Hanaldo. It's probably just a factory non turbo stock as a rock. They hype it up to people who know nothing about cars by slipping that magical word in. 'turbo'

Very nice, & welcome !

Love the Nismo front bar - looks very very nice with the wheels, in blue.

If you get sick of the wheels one day down the track simply powdercoat them white, would look even better IMO & is pretty cheap to do.

R34 Nismo-kit side skirts arnt expensive, if you can find them, & would finish off the 'looks' very nicely.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
