kidd, im with you, i almost killed myself in a 1.8L (was going around 110 miss the concer, hit the island went fly over it and landed in the footpath) i was only 1 week of 16 when i did this and i noramly wont have done that but when u get into the car and start driving u do crazy stuff for no reason. Now im a good drive 99% of the time heheh :)

But if u get the GTR now, just take it easy. i say go for it if u got the money to RUN and for Insurance then do it we need more GTR on the road

dude, if you're 17, noone will insure you for a GTR. If they will, it will be about $10k/year..and whilst driving an R is cool, there's no way once you add fuel, maintenance and mods that you could decide it is a good thing to do.

$10,000 p.a. insurance = around $200/wk

so, weekly GTR budget as follows, assuming you own the car outright!

$ 200 - insurance

$ 50 - fuel

$ 30 - maintenance

$ 60 - mods?

So, just HAVING the car adds up to around $340 a week or $680/ftnight.

I reckon you'd be better off finding a couple of nice private school girls, feeding them full of drugs and piss and thrashing them three ways every friday and saturday night...:D

better still, be realistic. if you want a fast/flash car spend $18,000 on a spastically quick S13 and own the road with pop-up headlights and a roll-cage.

depending on how u drive it,and how much is the petrol price.

That's certainly right!

I drive an S15 which is only a 2ltr (turbo :D ) and I get pretty much 370 - 400km's a tank on ultimate 98. Granted, I have a heavy foot on occasion.

Don't forget about everything that goes with a car though mate.

1. Car repayments (Should you ahve finance)

2. Insurance (Don't even think about not having it)

3. Fuel

4. Servicing

5. Consumables (Oil, Pads etc)

It all adds up.

Think of it this way. The car will cost you bulk dollars, trust me I am 18 and I am feeling the cost of car already but its worth it

well bugger me. Id rather have a house and an S13 than a GTR. and you could make repayments on both with what it'd cost you to keep an R in the garage...

any 17 or 18 year old that can afford to spend $680/paycheck on a car PLUS repayments must either be very financially set up - with millions of dollars worth of investments paying massive dividends - or must be on a pretty good ting at work.

or be selling their body on the street.

so why exactly does the GTR appeal to you?

fine then!

for all you leadfoots, make it :

$ 200 - insurance

$ 100 - fuel

$ 30 - maintenance

$ 60 - mods?

TOTAL = 390/wk. = 780/fnight.

I manage to get just over 400k/tank - which lasts me over a week - but then that's only for driving to work 6 days a week (about 10 ks) and to basketball and trips on the weekends.

either way..the point is the same!

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
