Are you seriously considering buying a GTR on your L's??! Your only 16 mate, you still got 4 years until you can drive those...

Buy any NA and wait until your on your fulls. Don't be one of those idiots who drive a turbo on their p's, it's just not worth it... (unless exempted)

Buy a R31.

Cheap, fun and you can cut your teeth upgrading them/working on them without worrying that you are going to make an expensive f**k up. Plus, they look great!

x2. Plus most p platers will bang the car up at some stage, its good to know you arent driving a gtr when you slap the front up a gutter! lol

Welcome.

some good advice above. I was in your boat a few years ago, the night was young and i was full of optimism....etc.

I personally wouldn't bother with an NA skyline or any overstated import for my P's. They are WAAAAYY overpriced, and a police magnet.

Also these cars are getting old so rust and general misuse and neglect is becoming more prominent on most of the GTS's and GTST's as every second p plater has them. Even some 32/33 GTR's arnt in too good nick anymore.

Buy a cheap-ish car, dont mod it (unless you HAVE to, and then leave it to basics), bomb around for 3/4 years, save your pennies then buy a decent BNR33/32 or whatever tickles your fancy when you get on your opens

I tend to agree with the post so far.

I rekon wait unless your 100% in love with the GTS.

Other wise It might feel like you were driving a honda with no V-TEC or a BMW 135i with an M1 bodykit?

End of the day - do what you feel is best. But reliability is actually something you want on your P's (so in other words mum was right)
