i dont think this situation has much to do with a Turbo or V8 not being good for a 19 yr old, but the fact that your parents dont trust you because they see that you dont drive responsibly.

maybe for your own sake you should stick to a lower powered car till you become responsible.

Thank god someone asked this one! this is the first i've seen this thread and was wondering why the hell no-one picked this.

ok, i upgraded from my pulsar to a gts-t when i was about 18, added a GTR to the garage when i was about 19, sold the gtst a short while later and still have the GTR (currently for sale)

freeking beautiful cars awesome to drive and i've only ever had 1 offence (aged about 20 at the time and it was 90 in a 70 zone... deserved it.

you'll know if you should or shouldn't get a powerfull car for the time being... but the facts are that a low powered car is just as dangerous... a 21 year old mate of mine is dead, another mate really badly injured (thought he'd lose both legs) and a 19 year old girl is also dead because she drove a kia rio across 3 lanes onto the wrong side of the road and hit them.

age and power of cars isn't the problem it's what's in your head... if you can see yourself loosing your license... stiff shit, you'll learn... if you can see your self causing an accident, stop and think, cause you could be the next person to kill someone else / yourself.

f*#k that's a long little speal and probably doesn't make the most sense so the point is... what ever car you get, it doesn't matter... it's the way you drive it that does.

thanks guys keep the advices coming. very helpfull  :angry:

for some reason i'm leaning towards an ae92 GTi but damn it i want power.

i mean with so many racer/dragger wanna bees around in their commodores and s13's  and shit you'd really wanna shut a few of them up.    :(

looks like you won't be happy till you wrap your car around a tree. Or worse, till you kill the occupants of an oncomng car and have to live with the consequences.

Its simple. Learn to drive responsibly. You parents (through dint of sheer age) may just have a point.

You just want "power". power trip more like. just do all us 'line owers a favour: get a volvo, and don't make us look bad

regards mid life crisis

Are they paying for the car? Do you live under their roof rent-free? If so, they should make the choice for you because you're dependant on them.

In any case, they're just doing the parental thing and looking after your best interests. They're not worried that you'll beat them down Eastern Creek, they're worried you'll kill yourself.

Earn the trust, buy a shitter and save the money so you can buy something even BETTER than a 10K car in a year or two. =-]

Oh, additional: So many people on SAU asking really basic simple questions on automechanics or asking if they can skimp on this or use a cheaper that...

1) Maintaining performance vehicles is expensive. Budget for it.

2) Getting a cheap-box first will grow your mechanical knowledge much quicker.

you're a f*king idiot.

you are onw of those idiot racer/dragger wanna bees by saying that you want to put them in their place.

I'm sick of being politically correct.

you are a young kid.

you have no driving experience.

you even said yourself that your parents don't want you to get a powerful car cause they have been in the car with you when you speed.

isn't it obvious to you that you are reckless?

and then you say you speed when it's safe, at like midnight on hume hwy.

I can't get over how f*king stupid this remark is.

You know what you are.. a waste of oxygen.

I don't care if you are young and dum and full of cum.

people always go "oh kids will be kids"

bull shit.

you need a f*king beating to bash some sense in to you.

1.) your parents know better than you and you should respect them you spoilt little shit

2.) you have a stupid attitude and you "THINK" you know, but you don't know shit.

3.) you have next to no driving experience and yet you say "I know when it's safe to speed" . do you think those "there's no such thing as safe speeding" ads are there for people apart from you? it's for people just like you.

it's sad to say that it doesn't make any difference what car you get cause you will do stupid shit in any car.

skyline for a first car.

what a f*king joke.

you're just another front cut waiting to happen.

<_<

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
