Why not just look on carsales?

But it depends what you call decent lol, decent for the money your paying or one that is decent in condition wise.

TBH, I don't think there are many "decent" series 1 R33 NA around anymore, most have really high k's and have been thrashed to hell by p platers, because most importer don't even import R33's anymore, let alone series 1.

9-11k can surely get you an NA series 2 R33 manual, auto will be a few grand cheaper. But you just gotta make sure you don't rush into it and buy the first R33 you see within your price range and if I was you, I'd just keep saving until I can afford a good R33, instead of paying 6k for one, then HAVE to spend another 6k to fix it :down:

At the end of the day, your first car will be like no other cars that you'll own, because it will be something special. And I'm speaking from experience lol, nothing can replace my old NA series 2 R33, not even my R34 GTT now, just doesn't feel the same lol.

id go for a shitter for your first car

youll make mistakes, hit things, forget things and likely wont look after it

Make mistakes, hit things, forget things = all possibly true

But I doubt a car enthusiast wouldn't look after their first car, especially a skyline :down:

haha yeah

well if you want a skyline for your 1st car

make sure you have insurance altho you will be paying ALOT

Yup, full comp (highest excess) = $1500+-, full comp (lowest excess) = $3000+-, 3rd party+fire+thief = $650+-.

The funny thing is, NA or turbo makes no difference to your premium, but 2, 4 doors does.

yeah thats cos regardless of N/A, manual, auto, turbo, twin turbo

its still a grey import nissan skyline which is probably high on their list to be stolen

so even if you have 4 door, n/a auto 2litre its still going to be hefty full comp

im surprised 4 door vs 2 door would make a difference, im not sure why it would ?

hmmm strange cause i just had my renewal come up and for some reason was down as a 2 door told them it was a 4 door and the premium didnt change.... stupid justcars

It should... Because 4 doors = sedan = family car and 2 doors = coupe = sports car.

Is it because you have 3rd party+fire+theft? But I'm pretty sure that doors do affect your premium.

Also transmission can sometimes affect it too, auto = cheaper, manual = more expensive.

Oh yeah, and your gender do matter, female = cheaper, male = more expensive.

yeah

i got a 4 door gts r33

ful comp is 5500 per year

and 3rd party is 900 fire theft

Wow?..... $5500 a year? That's kinda unbelieveable.

Even when I was 18 and drove a series 2 NA r33 coupe, they only want $3000 for full, $650 for 3rd party.

yes there is a price difference in 4 door and 2 door

4 door comes off cheaper because its classes as a family car

and yeh just cars quoted me 5500 for full comp

but one of my sisters just started a job up at an insurance comapny and can get me 30% off

so when renewal time comes ill be changing over :P

Lol, I'm just testing around with Just Car's quotes.

Female - 18yo - R34 NA coupe auto = $2654

Male - 18yo R34 NA coupe auto = $2862

Female - 18yo - R34 GTT coupe manual = $3168

Male - 18yo - R34 GTT coupe manual = $3325

Female - 18yo - R33 GTST 4D manual = $3203

Male - 18yo - R33 GTST 4D manual = $3360

Female - 18yo - R33 GTST coupe manual = $3174

Male - 18yo - R33 GTST coupe manual = $3382

Female - 18yo - R33 GTST coupe auto = $3174

Male - 18yo - R33 GTST coupe auto = $3332

I don't even know what to think of Just Car's quotes anymore, it seems like they are just giving out random quotes within a ballpark figure?

There's obviously a difference between male and female, but sometimes they change quotes for transmission and body, sometimes they don't.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
