Approx how much would I be forking out each year to insure an R34 GTT.

I'm 17 (on my P's) and havn't had a crash/claim.

Also registration.. How much do you think it will cost to keep a turbo 34 on the road.

If you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car. IF you buy the car and don't insure it, don't come on here and whinge that ur car was stolen and u didn't have insurance.

Pray that your R34 dont get stolen cause u got no insurence ? Well you have to be praying damn hard to the big cheese. Arent alot of thieves targeting R34s in some states? Got quoted around 1.3k for a R34Gtt im 22 from Just Car. For u my friend I dont think anyone will touch it since ur 17 except Just Car prob be around 3 to 4k haha goodluck.

You will be looking at 2-3k for insurance...its about 2k full comp for my Cappuccino. (which is 660cc turbo) And im 18 been drivin since 2004 with no fines or accidents. Also have you considered getting a different car as a first having driving a R34 GT-T numerous times they are quick, and in inexperienced hands can be deadly. But then again its your dosh or your parents but its just my personal opinion. Also i believe registration is about $600-700.

Yeah I've seriously thought about it, although my current car is pretty quick... Maybe I shouldn't go turbo, but then again. Argh! Its all outta my money btw and of course i'll be getting insurance (I think my parents will chip in here and there too). I thought about getting AM rev limiters and all that shit, I kinda have a lead foot and I KNOW petrol will be a bitch!

true true, if i was driving a skyline back when i just got my licence when i was 17, i think i wouldnt have a licence by now,

so glad i drove a 88 corolla around for a few years, have goten into some sticky situations but because the car was so damn slow i could never really go that fast,

and believe me when your young and your driving around with a few mates, last thing on your mind is driving sensibly

I totally agree... and if i had a skyline at my age i know i wouldnt be here or have no licence, thats why i went for a slower rwd turbo being a cappuccino its got more then enough for what i use the car for. I just hope putty realises that young drivers shouldnt be steping up to something with heaps of power...youve got the crawl before you can walk.

Yeah.. well I'm 18 now, My B-day was on the 11th :P

Anywayz.. I don't really see how having a RWD turbo car can keep you outta trouble but an AWD turbo 34 will get you killed or lose your liscence or both :cool: I KNOW they are fast but unless you are really really stupid..you will adapt to the car before it has time to end your life.

My car now is f*cken quick btw.

Stupidity has little to do with people dying on the road, inexperience and lack of self control... now thats another story, although you could refer to that as stupidity also.

Happy birthday.

      Just out of interest, did you check the "ENG CONT" fuses in the engine bay fuse block? I had a very similar issue to this with my Link, and those 2 10a fuses were blown, so ecu was only getting 9~v, whilst having 14v supplied to the rest of the vehicle.  Likely not the problem, but just thought id make the suggestion after having a similar problem.

      Am I correct in thinking that even if you flat a rear, you'll have to fit the spare to the front anyway? I'm thinking that the LSD will thank you for not inflicting a massive permanent speed difference on it.

      Time for millspec wiring, MoTec electronics package, Bosch Motorsport ABS, let's goooooooo!!!   Maybe as @MBS206 suggested, just swap out those stupid blue relays near the ECU plug.

      My only regret with the NC MX5 was no space for a spare, even a space saver doesn't fit in I do have a couple of those puncture repair spray cans, but if I get a large puncture, or sidewall damage, I'm screwed until a tilt tray turns up I'm thinking I might get one of those 4WD style of puncture repair kits that have that rope stuff and glue, whilst it will kill any hope of saving a tyre, it might help getting me out from some backwoods road far enough to find a actual tyre shop if the first can of tyre fix doesn't work I'm keen to see how your new toy pans out Uncle Duncan, I'll be moving to the Highlands next year, you'll need to shout out if your heading to Wakefield, whilst I've lost my balls for happy laps, I still love watching those that can

      Yeah not sure what the warranty was, but it will be years outside it.  I've shot Link a message, will see what happens, I'm told their support is good. It is a plug in, so its a Link board in a factory case, very easy to access both sides of the circuit board by removing the top or bottom cover. To be fair the the Link, although I've checked to the factory connections and wiring specs, as we learned with Neil's car in the early days not all ECUs source power the same way. He'd been running a factory ECU with no trouble for years, but when we plugged a PowerFC in it wouldn't start up, just kept cycling power on and off. We worked out that the car was missing one of the 10a fuses "Electronic Parts", and to Neil's knowledge it had never been there. Turns out the ECU pulled its main power from that source not the same place the factory ECU did.  Point being....there are multiple battery and ECCS power sources in the factory ECU, and multiple grounds as well....not telling from the outside exactly what the Link uses (and doesn't use)
