just use sticky tape

[benm]

Just buy a NA R33 GTS.

Insurance will be cheaper, car will be cheaper, less fuel and not many people will notice that it is a non-turbo.

[Restless 33]

nah coz i wanna change it back afta like a year or something so i don't wanna have to sell the car and buy another..sticky tape where. and will the car be putting to much fuel in the engine if the turbo isn't working...can i control this..thanks for the help

[MJ]

put sticky tape inside the turbo so it wont spin anymore

[strutto]

put sticky tape inside the turbo so it wont spin anymore

That won't work unless it's double sided sticky tape...

Blu Tak is a better idea IMHO... :headspin:

[Restless 33]

so stopping the turbo is really easy...that just means i wont get any boost yeah... now wat aobut the fuel? will the car be putting heaps of fuel in. and will this be all i have to do to stop getting any boost

[MJ]

nah the ecu is really smart in these cars and knows how much fuel to use, but just to be safe only use regular undeaded as premium makes the car use more fuel

Disconnect the wastegate actuator from the wastegate on the turbo.

All you need is around 2mins and a really small flat head screw driver.

Flick off the surclip and pull the actuator rod off the wastegate. If you are leaving it like that then wire the wastegate fully open so it doesn't flap around.

Best part is once you get around the corner you can put it back on again in the same amount of time.

But yer.. I'd prefer sticking a stick in the turbo to stop it working.

The AFM measures the amount of air entering the engine and puts the required amount of fuel in so it will drive like an NA and get similiar fuel consumption.

thanks guys...my dad mite get a bit sus but i'll see wat he says bout it lol. i guess it's for my own good. i mean who thinks that a P plater on their first year with a turbo is a bit much...plus i will only have 3rd party so i can't afford to crash lol. mite jsut do that for the first year or so then use the turbo

Not having a turbo isn't going to stop you hitting some thing.

When I was younger I found it wasn't the acceleration that got me in trouble it was the inability to judge corners and how quick to go through then.

Wet roads and reading the road surface texture is also where I used to come unstuck.

You learn the hard way though

There seems to be a trend amongst my friends and now that I am seeing amongst my sisters friends that the blokes with the quicker cars tend not to write them off and drive more sensible only giving it stick out of corners.

The blokes with the smaller buzz boxes go flat stick in to the corners and hit gutters, tree's and write off their cars.

Every one dings their first car.

seriously mate, dont get a skyline if ur just getting ur P's and only 3rd party. I guarentee you will crash it sooner or later and i dont want to see another written off skyline. I admit i did stupid things the first year i had my licence but i only owned a shitbox 3k car.

If u really want a import get a non turbo silvia, u can get them for about 5k and they r cheap to fix and better then any aussie car for 5k. Tell your dad to take u to a driving course too.

[Restless 33]

yeah he's definatly taking me through driving courses n stuff...i'm obsessed with the skyline and have worked hard as for this thing...i know i'm saying this now and it's probably bullshit but i'm gonna be respecting it so...i seem to learn every lesson the hard way lol

i found a better way to make use of the turbo if your not going to use it for driving, go to your local hardware store and buy some plumbers PVC piping and hook this up to the outlet of the turbo then straight into the cabin that way you will have air conditioning

[martydaman]

nothing better than using twice the amount of fuel to cool down a car in winter... your a genius snail

[Cubes]

I would direct the pvc piping towards the front brakes..

Make it stop quicker, brake pads run cooler so they will last longer.

Why do you need your dad's permission to buy a car? Will he kick you out of home if you get a car he doesn't approve of or something?

[Restless 33]

nah i need his help for some things with it...like just said he wudn't help me buy it...eg not give me the 2,000 he was putting into it for me...plus there are 2 other cars at my address and being in Vic i need to move them to another property we own so it's legal for me to drive the thing on P's. so he said he'd help with that aswell...i'm lucky we own another house and can register them under that address so i can apply for a high powered vechile thing. that and the money he's giving me are the reason...

[Restless 33]

just wondering bout when i open the wastegate....wat is going to stop the turbo getting oil is there anything else i should do besides wat - Joel- said. thanks for ur help guys

[Restless 33]

ohh and am i gonna experience any lack of acceleration if i leave the wastegate open??? besides the lack of turbo like will it affect the rest of the engine??? thanks for ur help guys
