do a search on insurance in these forums :cheers:

and yes thats how much its gonna cost you there are no ways around it unless you put it under parents name which will still work out around the same and if they find out that your driving the car more than stated they can void your insurance alltogether so i suggest you look at other cars or wait untill you hav sum sort of no claim bonus if you think the quote you hav been given is 2 much

That is a GOOD PRICE!! i was quote $4100 @ 17 for my skyline gts-t

no cos if ure a proper driver, you will only need 3rd party, get ure ncb up and then go to full comp, or wait till ure 18 and then get full comp, its not to mcuh cheaper but its a little bit less anyways...and more companies will look at you

this is crap advice.

if you're 17, just got your license and think you're indestructable..... then you're probably 17..... and you're probably not (infallible).

dude, why dont you start out with a cheaper but equally fun car. like a silvia or an R31.....

zanda reads fane's mind again :)

this car isnt cheap to uphold, and mikey is finding this out now... :(

as zanda said, you need insurance, if someone hit me and they didnt have insurance or money, i would rip their ****in balls off...

i dont pretend to know everything because im only 21 and im still learning, but at 17 you should aim at a first car kind of level, (this doesnt mean it has to be a heap of shit, but prolly not aim around the 20k mark for you first car) and look at a car that you can get insurance for and build up your no claim bonus.

my first car was a ford falcon, yes it was slow, but it was comfy and nice to drive, and i learnt the road. now i have my skyline, i can afford insurance and im sitting pretty stable (touch wood :))

in the falcon i built up a 60% no claim bonus which got my insurance down to $996 a year insured for $20k with westfarmers.

what about an N/A 33 or a 32 if you want a newer car than a silvia or an r31...? :rofl:

if your are a proper driver you will only need third party...haha...what happens if the car catches on fire?

anyways i agree if you are 17 and you think that 2K is too much then you are not the rich kid 17yr old that can afford to drive this car at that age...if you want to lose all of your life working harder than ever to get enough money to maintain and fuel the car as well as insure it.then be my guest...but there are plenty of cars to learn to drive well in before stepping to a skyline and also before being able to afford it..or at least have a job that makes it easy to maintain the car

wise words from the old skool pimp... err i mean, Riaz knows what he's talking about :P he's from the industry

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
