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

yeh i have been thinkin 50k is a bit steep, im now lookin at 30k-40k anything over that has 2 be like u said gold plated, if u wanna do stupid shit go to a race track or go an buy a $200 bomb take it out bush an thrash the absolute shite outta it while still doin shit that is reasonably safe... thats what me an me mates do, if ur lucky u get a car that last 2 weeks.

theres an R33 GTR that is for sale. a fair bit of money has been spent on it including full engine rebuild, bigger turbos, injectors, fuel pump, twin plate, Autronic computer and comes with Nismo rims.. the owner wants 48k and i've seen the car. its good for 11s

cars in Perth

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.

at the moment its just research on the car and car prices like i said earlier, im not gonna buy one 4 a while , cheers 4 that godfather but in think 11's r a bit quick 4 me at the moment , thats like bein thrown in the deep end 4 me, im lookin a pretty much stockish with a few mods

$50 dollars for fuel, it'll get you as far as 380kms(max)

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!
