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.

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By elinde · Posted

      Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!

      I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
