If you want to risk damaging your motor then yeah you can drive it

[ARTZ]

UPDATE: just blew the old turbo, defiantly rejoicing over my decision to buy stock turbo. Glad i didn't throw on fuel rails and try to tune that setup, like some suggested haha.

Question: can i limp a blown turbo around if i stay off boost for a week?(no smoke yet)

don't blame the turbo when you're the dickhead that was driving it and trying to rev it past 4k with no tune and popping cooler pipes..even though "SOME SUGGESTED" you shouldn't even be driving it...

just keep driving it mate she'll be right....haha!!!!...

Not blaming the turbo haha, the plan to go back to stock was so i could thrash the rb with a safe tune. Try NOT driving like a dickhead when it's your first skyline and theres meat on the tyres x]

All you needed to fix your car wss a tune from the get go. And a few things here and there. You have taken years off its life punting it untuned and you have lost money because no one will buy a broken turbo.

if I buy another skyline it definitely wont be blue . lol

No one has asked this so I'm going to.

Why did you buy a heavily modified skyline if you wanted something stock? Surely you paid way more than it was worth as well.

Well, You nailed it brother. Costs more than what it was worth, and a headache and a half. Being straight up, i had no idea what to look out for when buying a car, i checked for oil leaks, service history and all panels were straight and working.

The big turbo kinda suckered me in, plus the engine was literally just put back together after being machined. Also, i didn't really think it was a big modification and if necessary i had money at the time to deal with a fix if it was required.

Without money for a tune, tuning is out of the question. Still questioning my friends diagnosis of a blown turbo... there is a change in the whistle, but it's a very small change and it still spins without any clunking. Could still potentially be a vacuum leak or seals dead. Regardless of that, since powercruise is just around the corner where do you suggest i tune my car with all the tuners in perth (c-red,pcp, japwreck, allstars,ovaboost etc) busy till late october? (I've been to every tuning garage in Perth finding the cheapest quotes.)

I dont see how you had no money. You went and bought all these stock bits for your car, all up you would have been a few hundred bux off a tune.

I think you need to get your priorities straight or just sell the bloody thing.

If you tune a pig with shitty parts, it's going to be a fast pig. Parts needed to be replaced, and since they don't regenerate i had to pay for them. As i just said twice, i can't f**king tune it when all the shops are booked out, but i'm waiting in line.... can't do much besides wait, so whats your problem?

[Manuel Kasko]

I think your best option is all star garage.

Few people on here use them and have said good things as well.

Maybe take it into them after saving some coin?

Also I would take the intercooler pipe and get someone to put a bead on it. That will stop it popping off

Yeah they seemed like nice guys

Intercooler pipe has a bead, but it's got a shit joiner clamped with a radiator hose. i have new intercooler pipes ready and waiting with ribs on the ends and silicon joiners

Nice work dude.

It looked really loose when you put it back in.

I wouldn't expect it to hold if you were able to push it back in and just leave it.

[Anfanee]

TBH i would have just bought another Rb25, dropped it in and parted out yours. Still would have been cheaper.

Yeah, just found out it wasn't my turbo blown, just that joiner has become very loose, loosing boost. i used one of my proper clamps from the new kit and it's back up to it's usual power and noises. I just have to granny it around now because i don't have a failsafe for overboost D:

This thread makes me .

Money should've been spent better on getting a workshop to go over the mods.

You really should sell this and buy a stock R33 to learn with.

i very strongly agree with you after learning more about jap cars. Learn from my mistakes i guess

For the third time, money WILL be spent at the shop, i'm just waiting for my booking. This post makes me .

[Anfanee]

Honestly. Go find an rb25det for 2k. Drop it in and part yours out. In the long run you will have hardly spent anything. You are wasting time and money. For all you know the car has shot pistons as well. Wouldn't surprise me looking at the work that has been done.
