Depending on how long you have left I'd hold off on getting a new car until your on your opens. 20k is too much for a 34GT especially if your going to sell it soon. May aswell save money in a shit car, save on insurance etc and then buy a really nice turbo model when you get off your ps.

The whole don't get a turbo when your young because you'll wrap it round a pole is bullshit. Its got nothing to do with age it depends on each person and how they treat their cars. If they have 0 respect for them and don't care about anything then theirs a good chance it will end up in the scrap yard. I got my first skyline when I was 18 and never had an accident in it. If your spending that much money on a car its a pretty decent incentive not to be an idiot.

Let us know wen the cops stop you from driving yout gtst. Its only a matter of time, coz you have at least 2 more years of trying to avoid the inevitable act of the cops pulling u over

Pfft...so you have a 3 year long bet against the police and making mistakes? Nice one. You don't have to drive like an idiot to end up in court mate, but judging by your attitude towards cars and driving I'm guessing you do...which serves a fantastic tour guide down the path of bankruptcy. Sometimes shit just happens and if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time you'll be regretting that 10 second timeslot for the rest of your life.

I don't understand why Vicroads don't cut out the boys in blue middlemen and stop people from registering these cars in their names, which might also make their voided insurance harder to obtain.

Just because you don't agree with a law (which btw is for your own protection), doesn't mean that you should flout it!

You laugh now - but you pay later!

And give your potential passengers a break - DON'T DRIVE THEM ANYWHERE !!!

Why not keep it safe and buy the non turbo, i have both of them and i'm on my P's too and i don't even drive the turbo skyline don't want to risk it. So there is not point of having it. But the non turbo skyline is not too bad

you reckon the supra had 164kw yeh? and the r34 gtt on redbook.com is 187kw, thats only a 23kw difference? i hear they actually tend to have a bit more than what they say, but still thats a bit mind blowing, lol anyway if i were you i wouldnt waste money on a n/a skyline, buy a shitbox hyundai excel or something, dont put rims, exhaust or neons or any gay shit on it (will be easier to sell and get more for it). own it till you get your full license then buy an r34 gtt, or scrape a couple more grand together and get an r33 GTR :P

1st. R34 GTT 206kw and 343nm it is.

2nd. If you drive a turbo car and kill someone it is man slaughter and no insurance

3rd. as Landscribble said buy a cheap car, e.g. commodore, magna etc. they are safe with airbags, cheap to insure and you can learn to drive better before you get

a fast car. No mater what your friends, family or police say you have just started to drive so you are not yeat a good driver, hence the licence rules.

Be safe and make the right choice, no forced induction and no car over 200kw (which is more then enough)

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
