Hope you can afford the fuel and parts costs, servicing etc, but if you can, go for it.

Beautiful first car.

Leave the poor bugga alone. At his age I was workin 3 jobs to save the ready to buy a 350 ht gts monaro.

I did buy it too and then went on to modify it in to a darn fast street car for its day. I had everybody throwing the same brickbats at me for wanting such an outrageous ride as well but f**kem. My money, my dream and I lived it.

How many of you can see a little of yourselves in this young tiger, I for sure as hell can. Go for it kid. Just remember its other peoples well being you hold in your hands when you drive on the roads as well as your own.

In a few short years you will probably be married and raising a family with nowhere neer the surplus funds to play with so enjoy it now then come back later when the kids are gone. Thats excactly what i am in the process of doing and I'll be danged if i dont feel like that kid again as I move closer to putting my ass in to a gtt skyline. :P

Buy the car but respect the car not because its a skyline or whatever... because its new to u and if u have the money, go for a defensive driving course and stuff like that to improve ur driving skills...please respect the other road users and do not do stupid things on the road...remember that ur putting other ppls life at risk if u drive like twat on the road....I am 18 myself and my first car is a turbocharged car..I don't see why some ppl like to comment on what type of car other ppl are gonna buy...its not ur money and as long as the owner is happy with what he/she is gonna get that is the most important thing...

just remember to follow the rules :P always be sensible when driving ur car and keep ur cool..always think twice about the results that your gonna cause because of ur actions! Remember that u could not turn back time just like how history will always be remembered. Good luck in purchasing ur car :)

ahhhh memories.. i had the same problem when i was younger.

maybe just get yourself a nice standard commodore till you become alot more experienced - then when your old enough, and insurance drops - go all out and get yourself a gtr!

i still suggest NOT to get a turbo car for your FIRST car. maybe try looking for a non turbo r33?

    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
