Turbo Tim

I got it today. Pretty happy with it. Still a few little things to sort out, but you get that with any car. Havent really driven it more than 10km though, lol.

I found an odd and different car for hanging the tail. Its one of the alpine-renaults in the french section. Its the later model of the 2. If you can get that thing to go straight you are doing really well. It just doesnt have the power to back it up. Give it a go anyway, its kinda funn.y

Queensland. Im semi-remote so that prolly helps.

Im paying $1029 for my r33, fully comprehensive with just cars. Im 22, rating one and probably good suburb/town. I really think you should consider looking at insurance before buying the car, thats what I did at least and one of the reasons that contributed to getting an r33.

http://www.mx6.com/forums/member.php?u=29771 Is this him, same username, and was posting stuff for sale on this forum. I dont think that gives any new leads though. Lists his job there as whiteline warehouse supervisor, but i doubt it.

Im only new around here but im getting the impression that a lot of people dont seem to like much else that isnt a skyline. On the front page we have both a commodore drivers are bad and xr6t drivers are bad. Sorry to break it to you all but there are tossers in all camps, including and nissans and skylines.

Im getting a 95 r33 gtst. Just cars quote was 1029/year or something like that. Im 22, no accidents, speeding tickets, claims or anything. Agreed value. They are giving me a rating one as well, which is good.

Yeah i reckon driving style with have a lot to do with it (in regard to both parts and fuel). I found the same in my old cars, it would break stuff on a weekly basis if I drove it hard, but once i got over that it was fine, and would get as low as 7l/100km on the highway when a lot of people cant break below 10 with the same car. Yeah mines a typical s1.5 r33, i dont really want anything more though. Don't need anything ridiculous quick or attention grabbing so it suits me just fine. Maybe a front mount and a little more boost, but that will be all thats for sure. I would have like a s2, but seems like a fair step up from the 14.5 i am spending now. Especially considering im not hugely sold on a skyling anyway. It will probably just be an in between car anyway. Sorry about the long and rambling post

THanks for the comments guys. Yeah I let you know how it goes with the car (by pm of course). So far they have been good, tidying up most little things that werent perfect. PM me with the cars in question if you want. They are only 2km or so from my home. Dont worry, im used to expensive factory parts owning a telstar tx5 turbo, some of the stuff i have had to buy over the gears is just ridiculous. $350 for engine mounts etc., $450 for strut tops, the list goes on. Fuel isn't a huge deal, i only live about 700m from work.

Yeah i wasn't overly set on a skyline, but seem like a pretty sensible choice. Not much more weight than an s14 (the most likely other car), yet more power, better brakes and gearbox. Insurance was pretty cheap for me too (1k fully comprehensive/year). Ill prolly keep it pretty much as is and near stock. Maybe a front mount. Dont really need crazy power. Found some pics on the net, but they are pretty rough as it came off the boat a couple weeks ago. Might have to go some more once i get it I reckon. Looks a fair load better now. Linky Apparently someone here works for that dealer anyway. Just hope it doesnt cost me too much in shit breaking anyway.

Im about to buy a car from there, lol. Leon - Im guessing you drive that white r33 with the 19's i see getting around town then?

Just a quick hi from another new person. Just a quick bit of about myself, live in boring maryborough in qld (its near hervey bay). Just about to buy an r33. Its a 95 r33, black, 87 000km. Pretty stock apart from a hks cat back exhaust, lowered and 17's. I think its a type M too with the taller wing and different front bar. Hopefully its quick enough, comfortable and reliable. Thats all im after after the last bloody car, modified tx5 turbo, nearly as quick as the stock r33, but bloody unreliable and no working aircon. Thats about all of my story anyway, Tim.
