WHITE is by far the best colour!!!!!!!!!

anyway good luck to u! i have to work hard and go without food some days but its worth it.

i work damn hard for my skyline but its Way worth it! :uh-huh: i have a GTS-T mainly coz of insurance ($2900 a year) and that i doubt the bank would lend me 40k (even if they did i couldn't make the repayments @ $10 an hr) as it is i have driven around for nealy 3 months with bald tyres (im still saving). Running expenses are high but its well worth it :(.

If i was you i would find insurance first! (Try Fameous Classic) Just say ur age and GTR in the same sentance and im sure most insurance companies will just laugh, say no, or quote the price of ur car.

i found insurance before the car which was good, because the other solution was to get a more expensive car, because the importer could arrange insurance cheaper.

Good Luck!

You wont find insurance for an R33 GTR for 17 year old. Its that simple.

Famous wont insure anyone under 19 years old.

10K and over will be about right to insure a GTR.

I would be thinking, If its the looks you are after then why not grab a nice series 2 GTS-T with a GTR kit, still a great looking car but without the serious insurance overhead plus its safer given the lack of driving experience.

PS this isnt a dig at devlish angel, just thinking sensibly.

well thankyou for that....

but i don't know why... u know.. gtr is better therefore i want a gtr... i gues it's that simple... im thinkin custon import is the way to go atm.... and about the white... well i realli like qhite aswell but i've been told that bvecause of the exhaust it getz realli realli dirty realli easily and that it doesn't look so good at night so yea...and i guess about insurance... hrmz... 19k a yr... unda 1k per month... so hrmz... but still doens't sound too bad... taking into consideration i won't be recievin it until after the hsc which is in like another 6 months... itz plenty of time for me to even save up money for insurance myself...

Im sorry but dam this is funny ;) and im not starting shit but dam a 17yr old or whatever in a gtr :P like i dont think they are that fast (stock) but its still enough to rap yourself around a wall or into another car if you dont know what your doing :uh-huh:

And as nick said "You wont find insurance " though maybe you will at a huge cost :uh-huh:

Im with Bleach1 "Sorry but i think youre talking crap" i 2nd that.

You think you can save up 19K in 6 months your full of ****in shit.

ppl twice you age make just over that in a YEAR.I think this whole thread is just a waste of everyones time no way you can earn that much at your age.

But comon what parents would buy a 16 going on 17 year old a GTR for there first car it's a accident waiting to happen with all that power and a inexperienced driver behind the wheel.

Even if i had rich parents when i was your age and they wanted to buy me a GTR for a first car id tell them no cause i wouldnt be experinced with that much power and i wouldnt risk the life of me and other people just cause it looks good and can go fast.

no offence but if you think im full of shit then maybe you should justify it...

although your point may be valid.. have you taken into consideration that mayb i've been working for the past year and a half and already have some money saved up??? have you ever thought that maybe getting paid $40 an hr for teaching piano doing a few hrs each week will allow me to save up that much...

im sorry for being so biatchy... it's just that.. i guess being told i'm full of **** and being told that something i have asked for people with help with... not made them oblidged but asked and only willing people need respond if desired.. being told that it's a complete waste of time....

fair enough i understand a 17yr old getting a gtr is a bit much for a lotta people to believe.. but hey why is it so impossible? nothing is impossible.. mayb inconcievable but not impossible...

once agains sorry for being so b*****

devlish angel, excuse the comments of some but most of us are talking generally and from our own experiences with insuring hi performance japanese imports.

Take into account that you virtually never hear of any 17 year old let alone a female buying a GTR for their first car. This is why most people you speak to will be skeptical.

Obviously if you can afford it then great, if you are paying for it buy the car, but if your parents are paying for it they are nuts, I know I wouldnt buy my daughter a car such as a GTR for someone with so little driving experience. Thats basic common sense. However if you must have one do yourself and every other motorist a favour and do some defensive driving courses before hitting the road in a GTR.

Best of luck

    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
