Been looking at a car for ages, Its common sense every young guy wants the greatest car, as his first car, But its a learning car, So meh i dont mind, (im still after something decent)

I would buy a r34, for one its my first car i dont want to ride off a good car (if i do) there mostly turbo, cant drive etc.

What would you get as your first car, Only decent cars i like a s15/14's, R34 * R33, Supra, Wrx, Thats about it, Like there all not cheap cars, Arghh its annoying. Any advice?

you should consider insurance when deciding as well all those above, including that ferrari will charge you out the arse for insurance....

if i had to get a first car around now... I always like the early 2000 liberties, good for highway driving, leather seats ect... mum had an auto one, id prob try and find a manual if possible, any auto car shits me to tears unless on the highway

Get an old grandpa car, like a crown or something, more possibility it hasnt been thrashed like an r31, you want something that has had an easy life and is ready for you to abuse it with everything breaking that way you can save and buy something nicer when your ready, plus your friends wont want you to be designated driver if its ugly as.. Hahaha

Hahahahaha ! so true, yeah very good points, thanks man. hahaah

my first car was a 92 civic with a F'd clutch.. was great for fuel.. insurance was cheap as chips and having a shotty clutch i could drive alot of aftermarket clutches after moving on because it was almost an on off switch haha. it was battered and beat but ran 350,xxxkm with out a fault

get like a mazda 626 or primera or anything for under 5k thats had a grandpa life they mostly decent on fuel no atention from police. and insurance is not ridicules.

like mentioned save until your on your fulls to buy a nice turbo car in good condition, you dont want to skimp out an buy a cheap dud turbo car on its way out, and you will have most of the work cut out for you since you wont have to do a full turbo conversion and having it off the road for a lengthy period of time.. plus you will end up having much more money, respect and experience for it when the time comes

you may hate driving a nana car for a few years most people do, but think of it this way. in that few years time how much money can you have saved to say buy your future r34 and treat it to some nice new treats?

had a friend who went and bought an NA s14 on his restricted license (P plate equivalent) and regretted it because it wasnt "as quick" as other non turbo cars these days sold it for 3k less then he bought it for, before buying something half decent when he got his full license. cant say he was to impressed

just my 2 cents :) good luck mate

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
