Given it's his first car I'll assume he is a P plater and looking for a non turbo...in which case yes you should be able to find one for that price, most likely series 1.

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.

  lukesii said:
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.
