I Am 17 On My P's What Car Would Be Best For Me?

[benny_blanco]

If you get an NA one driving past no-one will know the difference whether its turbo or not

I think parents who buy their kids turbo cars are irresponsible why dont they just give their son/daughter a loaded gun just to see what happens

Your parents are doing the right thing, honestly look into an Australian Delivered r31 if you want a skyline that much, your insurance will be alot cheaper cos its not an import plus it has a bigger engine

+1 for Hyundai Excel lolz

i can so tell the difference between a turbo or NA ahaha cos na sounds like shit lol

[R33LIN]

no it doesnt im probably going to put it in my parents names because it would be cheaper

forgive me if i am wrong, but i was under the impression that insurance companies required import cars whether turbo or NA to be insured under the youngest driver...i know just car require this. so even if its under your parents name and you are in an accident they wont cover you. And we all know insurance companies will do anything to take our money when it comes to premiums, but when it comes to pay outs they will find anything that may void your policy.

goodluck with that all champ!

my first car was a tg gemini that i paid 1500 for, it wasnt the nicest looking car but was extremely reliable.

in hindsight it was the best option for me because i literally killed that car, it copped huge mechanical abuse then got stacked in the end.

imo, buy something cheap to learn in, save some cash, buy turbo car later.

^^ here here 17 does not = enough experience to be a save competent driver

i'm just gonna say your dad is a smart cookie

if i had a 17yo kid i wouldn't let them get a "fast" car.

i think you should think about getting something that isn't so fast

and when you get more driving experience then go for it.

if you get the insurance put in your parents name make sure your name is on there aswel

most insurance companies would be a little suspect of a 55 year old man getting a R32 gtst that made in 1990+ (my thoughts only)

and i you put your name as driver #2 would has at a guess that your the primary driver (again my thoughts out aloud)

Get an Aussie R31.... that was my first car. Sure, theyre not as pretty as more modern lines, but they handle well, are cheap to run, cheap to fix, and the 3 lt engine is nothing to sniff at

^^ totaly agree my 5th or 6th car the one before this one i had R31 RB30e was a great reliable car and only cost me 2.4g and needed new suspension and was great

[nisskid]

something good on fuel, and has a good safety rating...

yeh i kind of agree, i bought my car when i was 16, didnt have any real issues with it, but i think when i look at some of my mates, i can see why people would be hesitant to get their kid a fast car, and u just dont know what kind of a driver ur kid is going to be.

maybe this

riiiite

whats so funny about the pulsar, probably go harder than you can handle anyway.

maybe point out the positive sides of a skyline, advanced suspension etc. convince him into letting you get one. after all, he doesnt want you getting one because hes scared your going to be an idiot and kill yourself on the road.

turbo'd cars only go fast when the person behind the wheel lets them...

Pulsar GTiR (4wd sr20det) from memory runs 1/4 in the 12's....now thats pretty fkn quick, especially for a stock car.

If i were you dude, id get an r33 gts4 (n/a) and when u get off ur Ps, stick and rb30det in it . mmmm....

[Madaz]

^^ its not as simple as that stagea or RB26 would go easier

whats wrong with 17 and owning a turbo car ^_^ just because some didnt have one when they were 17 i bet if u were 17 and ur parents offered you would definately take it! i know i did lol..

[Madaz]

^^ lol take the silver spoon out your mouth when you speak your hard to understand
