Best First Car For A 17Yr Old Male In Canberra...

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

But still. I'm not saying what car to get. And I can't really say your going to be an idiot haha. Considering I have a r33 and I'm only sixteen.. But still I don't go out to do skids.. I polish and buff it. And drive it carefully because I can't afford to repair it. And yes insurance is a stab in the back and so is fuel. But I'm still living at home and don't have to pay rent. So I spend my money on my car and not go out and party.

You do have some wisdom young Padawan.

I thought Pringles was all about Popping and not Stopping. LOL!

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

Hahaha I didn't think about Pringles that way

But hay I believe it dosnt matter how much power you have it's how you drive the car . Take me to a track and I won't be so careful

[RosieR34]

He could buy a R34 GTR and you can drive him around. (Sounds familiar? )

[Anfanee]

Unless this kid has a budget of 30k don't go near a 32 GTR. Honeslty if he wants an import get an ADM s15. They are not that powerful (like 160kw at the flywheel isn't it?) but he still gets the look he is going for. Not all kids will crash a high powered car on their P's, some are sensible =\

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

Iv never been in a car with a p plater when they are sensible. Haha it just never happenes

adm s14, relatively cheap, not stupid fast, no dickson, plenty of potential, less of a target as a s15.

good on fuel, not too big.

do it

[StinkyPoo]

S14, cheaper but S15's aren't expensive these days either.

Good steering lock, good power, cheap parts, Australian delievered. Cheap car.

Evo's are horrible daily drives, steering lock is so shit. Interior doesn't reflect the price tag.

R32 GTR's are old. RB26 parts cost a little more and more mechanical parts for more failures. As cool as they are, I don't think it's a good beginner car.

This is partly why I recommend a shitter to start with http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/415573-sau-act-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/?p=7117912

Coz things like this happen when your 17, first car on L's/P's.

Imagine if each rim cost $1k on your GTR/EVO/S15

Although it does happen to mature drivers too

but not often. Generally within a week of putting your new rims on

I spoke to the young fella today about this.

After sharing your opinions and my own with him and his Dad, he has decided he should get a UTE instead as he is working towards becoming a builder anyway. This was originally the plan but he had been swayed by peer group pressure I think.

Turns out, yes he has a mate with a 200sx and another with an Evo 8.

Somehow he has managed to acquire enough maturity to brush aside the "gimme gimme I wants" and see the bigger picture.

Perhaps the future of the human race is not entirely lost after all.

[RosieR34]

Tail happy utes? SV6 or SS (V8) ?

[Got a Pulsar]

Sometimes peers can cause tears ..... Good on him.
