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

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
