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.

    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
    • I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon. 
    • All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
