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

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
