all i can say is if you ever ran into me i would sue your ass into the ground to get as much money as possible, accidents dont just happen from been stupid, it can happen to any1, maybe you are driving normally and you just arnt concerntrating enough because of been tired or what not, shit happens, and when it does it will cost you big time,

my car has cost me a shitload of money, i hate how they put on my pay slip earnings to date,

plus if you get a daily, say spend 1-2g on a daily, save while your on your p's, then by time you can drive a skyline, say you have 40g saved up, you buy the car for 12g, then insurance will be another 2g, drive the car how it is (mostly stock) and then as you drive it more you can figure out which way you want to go with modifing it, lots of people go different ways, so best to decide from driving the car not just reading stuff all day long, then when you go to work on your car you have a get around car,

Lol , youve all destroyed my hopes (nah jokes) , I didnt explain the process of the car very well but I have another idea. The Non Turbo GTS is P-Plate legal and ive actually been thinking about buying one of those instead as I have heard they arnt too fast. Ide just have a Stock One, with a 5 stud conversion and a quiet exhaust and in the mean time save up for an RB25/30DET Hybrid which will be built as a seperate engine and will go in when I have my full licence. Ide drive the car through conservative power stages like havign the boost low and gradually upping it so I get used to the power. I think thats a better Idea cuz the car will be legal on P's and I will save alot more money. If you guys hadn't of flamed me I probly would lost alot of money doing it in my 'stages'. Thx to all cuz uve made me realise ill save money doing it way later down the track.

dont bother with a 5 stud conversion.... get some koya drifteks, they are drilled for 4 and 5 stud 114.3 ad when you build your 2530 you can use them as throw around rims if you decide you want to upgrade :happy:

Yeh I would have to eventually upgrade brakes and a 5stud conversion would minimise stress. I plan on Volk GT-C, Speedy Cheetahs or Starcorp Racing Fusions (19") with factory Type M bodykit and clear indicators. I dont really like ricer bodykits.

driver training will fix it

      What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
