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

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
