If you have been looking at R31s, you DO have to remember to take into account that they are between 20-25 years old now...
Yeah, I think I might just have to give up on the idea.

And like I said in the post above yours, it's hard to find ones without problems and don't need a lot of work and maintenance.

Back to the drawing board. :D

They will require ongoing maintenance (as would the Stagea - or any car for that matter), but an R31 is a great first car and a good way to learn how to look after your car.

I had one as a second car (VH Commo was my first - I put it through hell for 4 years).

R31's have plenty of room to work on and a fairly large community here in Vic that can help out with any q's you have.

If you do go the R31 route, maybe talk to Classic Skyline's Australia (don't have their details on me), great group of guys/gals who really love their R31's.

As the others have said, wait until you are off your P's (do some driving courses during that time), then get your Stagea.

At the end of the day its up to him if he wants to head down the Stagea road or not... I've owned a VL Calais Turbo, VS HSV Senator and now the Nissan Stagea whilst on my P's and the only car i ever copped Police attendtion in was the VL.. Today i spotted a Red P Plater in a brand new Saab 93 2.0 Turbo and seen plenty of others in turbo's aswell... if you do decide to go a Steaga and get pulled over just keep a tube of anal lube in your glove box...

my suggestion is

get a cheap car to as your first car as you willl most likely crash or damage it

learn how to drive

get off your P's and then get a turbo charged car

a stock stagea is slower than a V6 commodore or a 4L foulcan, its not some turbo RWD thing with a snappy chassis like an S13...(this is why mine is not stock)

I have never been pulled over in vic on my p's, this car was made to be steathy, and I would recommend it to a P plater... stealth exhaust, stock rims etc. I have been through defect busses on cruises and they asked me if i was with the other cars... To me, that passes the ninja test.

I have driven the stagea for the past 2years of my p's, and had stupid cars for the first year of my p's, if i could do it again, i would of had the stagea from day 1 of my p's. Its a safe car, with a sensible driver who listens to the car and doesnt let it do all the driving, they will be fine.

Just dont fit a cannon and bling rims!

      But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
