I am looking at buying my first Skyline, as per topic.
This will be the first car i have ever bought, however i have wanted a skyline since i was about 10 (9 years).
I wish to get a 1995 R33 GTS-T. I am getting a $20,000 loan from the bank and i have about $8000 saved up for insurance and to allow me to spend up to about $23000 for the car.
Having not hit that magical age where i become a good driver (25) My insurance will be through the roof, is there a way to decrease this? one of my friends suggested having my dad as a second owner of the car (even tho i paid for it in full) and this will allow me to inherit his 60% no claim? does this work? is there a better way to get cheaper insurance?
When looking at skylines, what should i look for? and what should i look out for? as this is a very very large expence for me i wish to get the best possible. i don't want to spend $22,000 on a car then find out a week later that the clutch is f***ed and there is no way i could afford to fix it so it would sit in my driveway for a month or two untill i can afford the repairs.
also i found this car is it good or not? opinions? i really want a coupe, in black white or blue.

Im a good driver, i drive about 500Km a week etc... however i cant really drive a manual to save myself. My best friend is an incridible manual driver (can shift so fast doesn't even disengage the clutch amoung other things[i think he learnt this because he drove around for nealy a month with a broken clutch cable]) and he has offerd to teach me how to drive a manual, i have had about 1/2 an hour with him and i can do it alright, need a lot more practice! However i really really really want to be a good manual driver. so i should get the car in manual right? or do u think auto?
Thanks In Advance For your Help. im sorry there are so many questions, there is just so much i want to know and i value your opinions
