i would say go for a n/a model for sure.

next thing is $$ u need enough for the car,insurance,rego,transfer,sevices,other costs that pop up.

n/a skylines have enough power if not to much power for a first car. it may not seam like to much but in the wet that can all change and fast.

as long as u have enough $$ go for it. its just cars are a black hole for money

depends how much of a lead foot you are :D

I go thru about $50 a week in fuel and that's driving to work (20min drive each way) and a bit on the weekends..

a lot of things involved in running costs have nothing to do with the turbo (eg tyres, brake pads etcetc). You might change the oil a little more often, but a lot of ppl change it every 5,000kms anyway, turbo or non turbo.

your major expense will be insurance, so that would be the real decision maker for me, if money's an issue :D

You are going to pay a shit load on insurance even for the non-turbo variant. My advice would be to buy something you know you will be able to afford. Don't settle for the non-turbo if it's the turbo model you are really after.

I'd be inclined to go for something cheaper that is turbo like a 180sx or silvia.

You've answered your own question: you can't afford to buy a turbo.

Remember that things WILL go wrong & you'll be left with either huge bills to pay or a busted car sitting on the fron lawn, taunting you like a beautiful girl you can't touch.

So, even though it sounds boring, do the sensible thing & buy something cheapish that won't break your bank & your heart.

That's my 2 cents worth.
