Guys Im a green P plater. I just got few questions to ask and some opinions.

Is it worth getting a R34 25GT for around $12-$15k while thats the only car can be driven by P platers cuz its 114Kw

However I the R34 GT-T cost $15k but its not allowed for P platers to drive. Tell me your opinions which one should I get?

on P's pretty damn straight forward! non-turbo for p's.

thats the law, end of the day, do what you want, just dont come back with another thread saying ' im on my p's and got done for driving a turbo skyline... help?'

read the Vicroads law's, P plater rules, and work it out from there.

it depends how much you like skylines. when i was on my p's i had a N/A r34 then when i got off my p's i sold it and bought a r34 gtt, that im thinking of selling now lol.

lol i love skylines...I was thinking bout Andrews suggestion...get a cheap car for 3 years. Sell it off and get myself a GT-T , cant afford GT-R yet. Bloody $40-50k mate

you wont want an NA skyline, go for an NA s13 manual with an SR engine: 105kw and around 1100-1200kgs. plus, far cheaper thus you can save up for a skyline when off your p's. maybe get a R32 GTR.

Hey Mate,

At the end of the day it all comes down to how long you will be stuck on your P's for.... if you JUST got on your Green's you will have to wait 2 years to drive a turbo.. no point buying a turbo

In my opinion... dont even buy a NA skyline.... get a bomb to run you around like a corolla,swift? Then save save save and buy your turbo skyline when you are on your full's

As mentioned above, its best to just buy a cheap daily driver (corolla, civic etc) and wait until you are off your Ps.

That way you will save more money by the time you are off Your Ps and buy the skyline/GTR you want (trust me i did the extact same thing). Not to mention how much you'll save on insurance :(

As above.

I drove an N16 pulsar for 3 years because even with power to weight on my side i couldnt get a Skyline. I had the option of borrowing and buying an S15 Silvia Spec R (turbo). Chose to wait with my old girl till i was 21 cuz id only end up buying a Skyline instead.

Couple months after i got my full licence i bought my first Skyline - my GTR :D

R34 GT-V IMO... pretty sure it is pretty much the same to a GT-T, minus the turbo... so even if you spend money on suspension, exterior/interior etc, once off your p's, make it turbo with the turbo brakes/stud already there

what about this guys? Good idea?

The R34 25GT is 147kw not 114kw as it has the 2.5l

The R34 GT has the 2.0l which is 114kw and cannot be imported into australia due to power to weight rules.

To be honest, i don't know too much about how it works.

All i know is that cars which get imported into Australia need to have a minimum power to weight ratio to be eligible for importation.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
