lol, I didn't think I'd cause so much controversy, I thought 90% of the ppl on here are in IT.

Personally I own a management consulting business, but off the top of my head Networking, Web Site Design, Security, System Administration or Database Administration would be good $ jobs. Also some helpdesk work can be good general experience to get started.

Providing you earn over 35K it should be pretty easy for you to get one in about 2-3 years.

I hope come time to own the GTR you are earning more then that. No poin towning a GTR if you cant afford to go out and enjoy it.

Amendment to earlier post as well, keep away from track days, its another easy way to chew up $300-500 a month.

Dont know about all you IT folk and $$$, but stay away from engineering, unless you are willing to travel OS or work in the middle of nowhere.

I got my GTR at 21.. It can be done! I payed 37000 for my R33 GTR V-Spec. Was financed under commbank at $650 a month to repay, now I refinanced my house and car loan and I pay a lot less cause it's based over 30 years.

help desk!!! i'm in help desk, not getting anywhere though

Tell me about it, I've got 2.5yrs of Helpdesk Experience and i'm yet to even receive a payrise. Barely enuff to survive with a GTS-t and now this year I got $100 rent each week ontop of that. I'm either gonna be selling and buying a bomb or buying a cheap sleeping bag and sleeping in my car at the local park :D

Thing is though, putting a GTR ontop of a house loan is fine and dandy, but you're effectively paying the GTR off over 30 years! That amount of time to pay off a car (and the associated interest) via that way is stupid. In 10 years an old GTR will be nothing special.

at my last job i was earning high 40's, and that *still* was just enough to pay off my car, socialising, and rent and associated bills... hardly an extravagent lifestyle.

Living at home is the best bet, and a lot of people do it to buy a car or save up for investments. Whether you can handle it is the hardest thing. I cracked it at about 21 and moved out..after that i was poor no matter what i've done in the meantime :D

Don't say that... my parents move out in 2wks and i'll be going from.. living ok with a mod here and there to living out of a sleeping bag in my car if im lucky.

I severely need a decent payrise otherwise the gts-t is gooooone :mad:

yeah living with the olds is the best investment strategy ever. I moved out when I reached 20 n I've been saving, but I spen so much on bills n rent that I could save if I moved back to Syd with my olds.

It's interesting with all this talk about home mortgage, car and money. Especially money, it seems like never to be enough. I think it's like a cycle which most male species have to go through in their life. BTW if you read another forum a 15 year kid has 50g just because his mum owns a laserhair removal place. Jealous. When I was 15, I'll be lucky to have 100 bucks.

Only way to own a GTR is to go into Business ..............

ummmmhhhh...anyideas ???anyone ?? feel free to jump in

inasinman,

do yourself a favour and start pumping money into investments first. when your after tax investment cashflow is equal to or greater than the cost of owning your toy(including ongoings) then, and only then should you consider buying your toy. dont get frustrated because you cant have the "toy" you want today. if you invest wisely and maintain discipline, there will come a time when you can have any toy you want.

btw- this also means that you do not need to buy an x-box, PS2 or the like

Im got my gtst at 21... now Im 23 and working for an oil company as an IT project manager.

Unfortunately, I had to move from perth to melb for the job and quickly realised that rent + bills and going out = no money left ova.

I have now decided to put all engine mods on hold and get myself a house, afta a year or so Ill be back modding again... but at the end of the day, you need to invest and have positive cashflow otherwise you will just end up in a negative debt cycle

I have to agree with the generalisation that Safra made.... I dislike teachers on principle but i have met a few really top notch teachers in my life that are very decent people... mind you i can count the number of those teachers on one hand...

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
