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

    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
