Hi,

Just wondering what would be the best Model, and Specs for a p plate driver, that would be affordable insurance wise.

willing to spend 7000-10000 I like r32's and r33's, would non turbo with no mods be affordable even possible for a P late driver to get insured?

hey mate being a p plater myself and having a 34 it really depends on what you like i myself imported from japan and i found that to work out the best for me.

but you just gottta find the right option for yourself. heres some pointers.

1. 32's NA are harder to find thats if your looking for a good one

2. 33's on the other hand are pretty much everywhere but most have been thrashed to no tommorrow and you will want to have a really good look at any you inspect.

3.both range from about 4000 up so well within the price range.

4. insurance really depends on your driving record. i.e. speeding fines, suspensions, accidents etc. you will probs be up for anywhere from 2500 up.

5.mods for both are quite cheap and in excess so no worries there.

6. also to find one in stock condition you will always pay more.

7. it really depends also how you want to do it up. and what styles your into. eg. if your into jdm, or low end rice spec then either is fine.. but if your one for sex spec (NOT ME) then a 33 is prob the way to go

finally when you do make a decision, post up and get some feedback before buying.

GOOD LUCK

Mate,

My advice would be if you really want a skyline is to get a good condition one and leave it alone no mods. Wait till you get your full licenses and then go buy a Turbo skyline. No offense to anyone on this forum but NA skylines are just a waste of time to modify. Also you are a P plate the second you start doing things like that your insurance will sky rocket.

Don't forget a skyline is a cop magnet and you being a P plate makes it worst. I had a friend which was driving a Subaru RX and it was non turbo because he was on his Ps. The cops pulled him over and said that he had a turbo in his car which he didn't. The cops said it because he modded the engine.

It just makes it chaos especially if you start modding. Stock is the best way to tell the cops to shove it up their back side hahaha!!!

Once you get you fulls get a turbo and go modding crazy. Your choice at the end its your car.

:) :) :merli: :merli:

That would be my advice.

cheers guys,

yeah i like r33's, ive know a guy who is a experienced machanic and will check any car out for me.

should work out well, just been getting online quotes for early non turbo 90's R33's around $2500, with no mods. I just want a nice sound system anyway while im on my p's

i dont want the cops constantly pulling me over.

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      By Duncan · Posted

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.

      Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
