fark i am surprised with the responses here

my advice is:

- forget about a loan for a car. you will be paying it off still when you're 30

- R33GTSt is illegal on your P's. that means if the cop has half a brain then you can be fined and lose your liscence on the spot for a period of time longer than one month (not sure how long it is)

- insurance company will insure you but if you make a claim they can deny you the claim based on the fact that you are illegally driving the car!

- so basically, i would keep the R31 and do it up a bit. get some driving experience (comes with time, not intellegence) and when you're 21 or so you can but an R33 or better outright and then you really will be laughing at 18 year old's that are talking about selling their souls for a car that is illegal for them!

best of luck!

buy a silvia (or an R32), its a good steppin stone to a powerful skyline and it'll teach you how to handle a mildly quick car. its not expensive either.

Later on in your life when your finances are better mod your car into a beast (what I'm doin now... say hello to my TD06 :rofl:) or sell it as it is, lose a lil money and buy your dream car.

Debt is the worse thing you can incur this early in life. Trust me, been there, done that.

and krzysiu... good luck... you're gonna need it... for once INASNT isn't alone in his views. ;)

insurance companies are plebs they insured me as a 23 year old while I was 21 due to data entry error, even though they had my birthdate correct : god bless Just cars and their silly staff

Yes to cash! I saved for 2 years and have got the Poosar in the mean time, paid outright and still got some left over for some investement, smart shit like not buying a GT-T :rofl: No loan, crazy interest rates.

I think the way that insurance companies don't worry about P's and power to weight is because Vic Roads allows the car to be registered. The only prob would be if you went to register a locally delivered R32 GTR.. well prob any R32 GTR. Only one on record. Just Cars seem to pay out for p platers on turbo cars afaik, so they don't seem to have a prob with it?

lol dont be harsh INASNT :rofl: i should have scratched ur car when i saw it at ice ;)

P plater with 0 driving experience in a high powered car = bad news.

For an example go back to ICE and have a look at the White R32 GTR that is there which looks like a banana after kissing a light pole.

This is not true... i have asked several cops and they also say it is legal to drive them, And also Vic roads has a list of cars that p Platers cant drive and it does not appear on that list.

I totaly agree, If it's not illegal to drive them on your P's it should be! There is no way in hell I'd let my son (If I had one) drive a turbo 32,33 or 34 on his P's full stop.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
