Hey Guys,

I'm pretty young, 14. My dad said he would go half with me in a Nissan Skyline R34 GTT 1998 Model. I've always wanted one. I'm just writing a list of things that I will eventually get for it. I need help with trying to find these good parts please look Below.

My Colour Scheme for the Car is Black and Silver. The Parts I need are;

Interior

A Matt Black Steering Wheel.

A Matt Black Dashboard thing.

A Pair of Nice Black Seats (Front).

A Pair of Nice Black Leather Seats (Back).

A Good Speedo (Black, but the dials and everything you get the info off Silver).

Performance

Nice Wheels (Silver).

Good Brakes (Silver Cover).

A Good Muffler (Not sure what size, i've seen post that you can loose speed and compression if it's to big so I need someone to tell me a good type and size).

Exterior

A Nice Body Kid (Black and Silver).

Some Cool Side Skirts (Black).

A good looking Spoiler (Black).

Sound

For Sound I was going to get the below but I'm not sure, can you tell me if it's good.

IVA-W520EBT Stereo- $999.00.

2x SWX-1243D Subwoofer - $1398.00.

lol, Good aspirations, GTT is turbo im assuming ( sorry not a 34 fan at all)

Interior, You will need to get all of that custom,

Wheels, You choice- No one here really cares for big 18" + chromies if htats what your intending,

Brakes- Stock power you will be fine, Get good pads a synth fluid.

Body kit and spolier, Your choice.

Exhaust, Depending if turbo or not- Either way....Just leave it stock.

Really not the project for a 14yr old, Unless you were born with a silver spoon.

Good luck mate ;) Pm me any questions il see what i can do.

@NYTSKY: Thanks.

@Seano350GT: I'm serious.

@sydking: Yeah I knew pretty much all that, sorry I didn't make my self clear in the post. I was suppose to say do you know any websites for customised parts and/or Yes; They are turbo.

Yeah I can on my P's and L's.

But if it is illegal which I don't think it is then I can get an Exemption.

It is Illegal on both of them as far as i am aware in NSW unless something has changed recently which i highly doubt, so before you start painting all your dreams onto paper you are probably best researching the ability to drive such a car..... The people on SAU are generally a wealth of knowledge and very helpful as majority are owners of the cars themselves (like i am), but at 14 you are probably in the wrong place to start posting new threads, its great to see your enthousiasm at such a young age but do your research on the RTA laws then evaluate what you plan to do.

Yes it it illigal, Yuu can only drive it on your L's And NO you wont get an exeption, $1400 fine and 9 months loss of licene is pretty standard for that offecne.

You will only get an exeption if you live in the bush and need to drive a v8 land cruiser ect or your a mechanic and even then its only during work hours. Seriously dont bother with it.

Get a NA or just dirve the turbo and prepare to deal with the boys in blue.

you can only get an exemption if your in QLD and your car has a FACTORY turbo with a power to weight ration of less than 125KW/Tonne..

Which is a R32 GTR.

But yeah like most of these boys said, you've got years and years to go until you end up getting one. Unless your spoilt and your parents buy it for you.

Good old RTA, allow a completely inexperienced driver roll around in a turbo car :ban:

I'm from Sydney myself, i know that.

We have a 210KW power limit on P plates too. But i have no idea why this law was only intruduced in QLD.. now even more people are going to die on our roads from 17 year olds driving turbo'd cars. The law was only introduced January this year from memory, i haven't heard of anyone that's actually got the exemption but i know that you don't need a reason whatsoever.

Congrats, being from Sydney is a definite advantage when it comes to intelligence!

Yes, p platers can drive a 210 kw VE SV6

Now they can also drive a turbo car up to 125kw/tonne

Better run for the hills and never drive again, a car with a turbo is way more dangerous than a corolla hooking through a school zone!

Has the p plate road toll dropped since the introduction of power restrictions? No.

OP, by the time you get your licence, cars will fly but P platers will only be able to drive ground vehicles, their performance won't matter, as they'll be seen as almost obsolete and underwhelming compared to jet cars. Just buy the GTT now in preparation for the next few years.

The places for all of those parts is supercheap and Bob Jane T-marts.

You can buy matte black paint and cool seats from supercheap and there's also sections full of racing steering wheels and gear knobs, they have speakers, too. The most important thing though; is that they stock cannons. Get in ASAP as their cannons never last long. The bigger the better, buy two and stick one on the other side of the car for symmetry.

They have an array of specialty tools and if you have any problems whatsoever, the in house supercheap technicians can help you fit seat covers and offer you advice on which wood screws will hold that heart shaped cannon on best.

Bob Jane is the go to guy if you want high performance 22" rims and grippy nangkangs that will surely get you stepping out at the roundabout D1GP.

Stopped reading after the first line, just saying

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
