Rb30Det Running No Turbo

[mr30Turbo]

Is it possible to take a turbo off a rb30det and have no problems except for tuning and other little things.

I am on my l and p plates soon and I live in nsw for the moment so I'm just looking for a non turbo car for the moment

Think you will find its still illegal to put a non-standard engine in a car when on your p-plates, regardless of whether its turbo

If you didn't already have it I wouldn't buy it to start with . Better I think to have a Japanese made Nissan if you like the brand . VLs are old an thin on the ground now and I reckon the only reason you'd get an RB powered Dore is if you really like live axles . You get so much more out of R series Skylines for the money and the end result tends to be better . If I wasn't carting people around I'd look for an R32 with the RB25DE in it , I think it was called 25GT or similar .

R200 IRS , four piston brakes fall in , huge choice of wheels . Upgrades galore and heaps of spares around reasonably cheap .

Your call , A .

Still illegal. and low compression so much fail.

why do P platers always jump to this rediculous option

Because they are young and haven't had the years to learn. Let him learn.

Ok so dropping a rb30de into the car would still be illegal right?

Just to clarify; you keep saying DE and DET, which means twin cam. The D is for Double overhead cam. A twin cam RB30 is a custom made thing, not found in any STOCK cars.

I'll assume you have a VL Turbo because you haven't actually told us what you have..

If you have a VLT with the factory motor (RB30ET), you can drop in an NA or R31 RB30E and legally drive around. This is legal because the car was available with that option.

If you have something that did not come with an RB30 from stock it will be illegal to put one in and drive it on your Ps.

Its been said before but it is definitely going to be easier to sell the turbo car as it is, or put it away for now, and buy a decent P plate mobile to see you through. 100% easier, less heartache, and you won't devalue the car you own now.

Ok buying a stock non turbo vl just for now then I will turbo it later on. Thanks guys
