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.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
