Case closed.

case reopened.

actually to be realistic, being a 17 year old you shouldn't be buying any 2 door coupe, esp not an import. your insurance premium will be about 1/3rd the cost of the car.

maybe go for a secondhand Lexus IS250 or something?

wow man 35k.. my first car was... a hyundai accent ... and only recently upgraded to my n/a 34...

planning on upgrading later to evo 9 or 34 gt-r, was gonna mod my 34 now but id rather save.

n/a skylines arent bad for a first car though? i haven't driven alot of cars but for me its got a fair bit of torque .. looks nice too. n/a supra? i almost went for one of those. very nice cars.

with 35k you have ultimate choice on n/a cars pretty much mate :|

id save it up for later once your off your p's though.

*edit* alot of the n/a supras i saw in perth had been driven alot. dont think km's matter that much for a first car though, be a stinge and enjoy a much nicer car later on :)

Most ppl at 17 are coming off 2 wheels eh?

Now that ur just about grown up, it's hard to make a split decision over 4 wheels or a home!

$35K eh?

How about a GOLF brand of...

CARAVAN with bogey wheels !

Did you know that Tim, Richard and Jeremy just Luuuuuuuvv CARAVANS and what they can DO WITH THEM ! ! ! ? ? ? :)

35K man?

Yes! 350z's are for sale starting from high 20's now. So a cleaner one would be say low 30's and then sell the rims it come with and add some nice ones. Done.

case reopened.

A 350z is more sporty and more of a younger persons car than a G35 if you ask me. If he was 30y/o+ then maybe a G35.

Need to check if these cars are legal in your state though, because the 350z even though its an N/A is putting out some pretty decent power, which in Victoria is an issue as power/weight restrictions apply.

You're 17 and asking in another thread where to buy an R34 GTR?

Also pretty sure 350z is on the not allowed list in NSW for P platers.

As others have said. Buy a shitter... it's more fun anyway. You can jump it and whatnot... and it doesn't matter that much if you do too big of a jump!

looks like he is getting a R34.

LOL @ his replies.

Some good advice in here. I tried to get full comp on my r33 for a mate who is 21 and the cost through suncorp was about from memory $4500 per year. Very costly for a youngster.

See and not even a :teehee:

my first car was a coupe!

a ford laser KA 2 door `82 with the big block 1.5L

seriosly

$35k + gov grant of $14k

$49K to spend on (assuming) your first home.

get a family member to live in it for a year or two and give you just enough rent to cover mortgage and rates

then rent it out on the market for full rent price or have a bachellor pad at the age of 19

i wish i has $35k to spend on anything let alone a first car - somehow i dont believe you actually have this amount, however this is derrived by a quick squiz of bank propaganda with how much you currently earn and how much you can afford to pay back each week.

hey if you actually have $35k to spend then i'm very jelous and i hate you for it

but i also believe your nose has grown a few inches at the start of the post...

In all honesty, dont listen to people telling you what to get, get what you'd like, you want :D N/a skyline i reckon would suit nicely, and you posting on a skyline site makes me think you'd like that too :D

I just got my self an r33 gts for 10k, but ive been obsessed with r33's since i was 12 :) im now 17, and couldnt be happier :) get a 2 door :) they look way sexy.. but i do like r32 4 doors. but with you having 35k, you could probly get a really really nice r34 gt ;)

I was gunna save for a house deposit... but car came first :) but do what make you happy man, if you have the money, enjoy it, good luck to ya :)

why don't people stop being f**king lazy and do a bit of research of their own instead of thinking 'well hmm theres a skyline in FnF they must be good', and constantly asking forum members to decide for them.

Farken oath. HTFU and pick your own car instaed of waiting for someone to tell you what to do.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
