Hey guys, I'm Serk, 15 hitting 16 quite soon. (NSW)

My plan is to buy a R32 GT-R, first car. Now I understand that rb25/6dett are stock fitted with twin turbos (tt, durr)

That's a problem, considering when I get my P's I won't be able to drive it.

Can I ask for an exception @ the RTA?

If I remove the turbo's, I will get a huge performance loss, will the car even move? (Re-tuned, right?)

Is there any possible way to hide the twin turbos or get an aftermarket turbo and somehow hide it? (Obviously removing PSI gauges, turbo timers etc..)

Now coming to the price of it. I've seen some R32 GT-R's around $15k~.

What's the best I can do to ensure myself a good car? What km's are considered okay?

Including rego+insurance+servicing, how much cash per year am I going to have to cough up?

As for upgrades, haha, I really want a T51-R. We all know that ain't gonna happen.

A little bit after I get my full license I would like to start buying upgrades.

If someone could give me a couple of options 400hp-450hp-500hp-600hp.

Cost + Management.

As for visuals, I nicely lowered bodykit (Carbon Fibre?) and guess what, it has to have a rear wing, I can't stand some nice cars that just don't have a wing.

Interior? Meh, leather? Bucket seats? Definitely plenty of gauges. Computer.

Sound? I have already built a nice box with my older brother sucking in around 500w which is on my amp>computer right now shaking the whole house.

Anything else I am missing?

Thanks guys, any suggestions are helpful!

another point for the "must be an active menber for a set amount of time before posting a topic" idea
Silly Q, but how can you be an active member if you can't post?

S3rk, there is a reason why you aren't permitted to drive a GT-R when you only have a probationary licence. Wait until you get a full licence - GT-Rs will still be around, you can get one then.

Hey guys, I'm Serk, 15...

My plan is to buy a R32 GT-R, 3rd car.

Thanks guys, any suggestions are helpful!

fixed!

Suggestions?

1) You've asked lots of Qs which is good - but I'd ask Qs that are much more basic like, "What would you buy as a P1 and with a budget of $xxxx?"

Follow 'blind_elk' and 'Sarumatix' advice.

2) Listen to your Mum and get back home before 11.59pm

3) Be patient and stay safe - go to advanced driving classes 1-2-3-Cams

Not again !

Damn P platers..gtr for a first car !?...& removing turbos . :)

F*CK ME...where do P platers get the money to buy gtr's as first cars these days ?...let alone molest the hell out of one because ' it would be cool ' .

+1 on that terry

also to clarify on the option of taking turbo's off because you are not able to drive, i know someone who did that cost them heaps of money, terrible reliability and had to change heaps of things, buy a cheap run around learn to drive save your money, and by the time you go to buy your gtr who knows probably gunna be cheaper that what they are now and you would have had 4 years to research and learn as much as you can about them on this forum :)

Thanks for your opinions guys, Looks like I'll stick to a shitbox for a bit until I get full license. (What age is that by the way?)

You're a good boy !! :) At least you can come to your senses, unlike some other kid that posted here that would not look into the reality and suffer the consequences. If you really want a skyline then perhaps you can get an R32-34 non turbo, won't be as fast as the GTR but still skylines and P-plate legal, but then again a shitbox is also a good option.

S3RK from KeyHunt?

Edit: You don't need to buy a shitbox mate. Look around at 4cyl cars, maybe get a prelude or something. Hondas have a bit of kick for them. They're FWD which sucks, but this isn't Tokyo Drift I guess.

I have a Hyundai Excel, it runs good, hit a truck and was rebuilt... still going. Costs me $40-rough a week in petrol, massive boot, cost me nothing. Keep your cars clean, service them and take care of them, any car will be a good car... you don't need to drive a trashed pulsar with ripped seats.

I'm going from my Excel to a skyline now I have two jobs and a girlfriend who doesn't make me pay for everything. Worth your wait, my friend.

Edit2: It's either 20 or 25, depending on when you get your license.

We're on our blacks at 20... but I don't think we can drive high performance cars till 25..? Someone want to correct me?

Yeah, S3RK from KeyHunt alright.

I just want something that will keep me going until I can start working on the Skyline.

Also, How do we go about getting Police Radar Detectors? xD, can we be fined for having them installed? (Just out of random curiosity).

Radar detection devices are illegal in Vic, I am unsure about other states. I can't imagine any state allowing them.

Then again there is the issue that most police use laser now (at least in Vic) :)

LOL s3rk.. you're a crazy kid. Why don't we ever speak any more?

Don't go down the illegal path, my friend. Get an iPhone/Android, download Trapster, get a car-mount for your phone and you're set.

You can get these devices WHICH ARE LEGAL that send out random readings to police officers speed guns, giving you roughly 3 seconds to adjust your speed. I'm going by my bosses words on that though.

Something that will keep you going? Grab a v-tec or non-turbo skyline.

I've gone from my Excel to an R33 skyline (which comes tomorrow actually). I'm going to drive that around happily, do a few mods, and when I get off my provisionals, straight to an R32 GTR maybe. ORRR I could buy an R33 GTR... because they're starting to grow on me.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
