School holidays time.....

Mate, I think this is a bit of a ridiculous question... It is great that you are enthusiastic about Skylines at the moment, but how about you see what is available in 3-4 years time???

And the way things are going at the moment with laws and regulations it is going to be a lot longer than 2-3 years till you can drive a performance car judging by your age (which is 15 in your profile)....

Well you know i could of lied about my age to fit in but i dont care =P. And i dunno how those laws are gonna go because would they really limit all of australia...they wouldnt be able to keep up, my brother drives a supra but even though they used to pull him over all the time, its like they have given up...

Don't care how old you are, good to see you didn't lie though....

And to answer your question, IMO yes these laws will affect you unfortunately, they could even be harsher by the time your ready to drive.

Also, some advice - don't buy a skyline for your first car, get something smaller, less powerful work your way up to something more powerful.

I realise there are a few guys on here that own Skylines for their first cars, this is just my opinion...

Enjoy your stay here, but let this thread die.

Edit: It is really hard to read what you write in that colour....

its good to see your enthusiasm

however, 2-5 yrs time is a very large time frame

also, 2 yrs is still a long time away

i think you should start looking around 6 months earlier.. 2 yrs is a long time

also, i dont think anyone can give u a price in advance for 2 yrs time due to depreciation (could be too high or too low).. also, you wouldnt know the condition of the car in 2 yrs time

What would you say about a 180 for a first car then??

Same as Skyline...

Get something N/A while your learning. You can't teach road sense, you learn it from day 1 when you get your P's... Sure you hit 17 and you can have a licence, but doesn't mean you have the skills to drive the cars your after...

If you do go down the path of getting a Skyline or 180 for a first car, go do some advanced driving courses, know your limits, respect your cars power and don't be a tool on the roads... Check out a couple of threads that are around here at the moment on some very unfortunate incidents that came from stupidity in a performance car...

So your basically saying i should get a car that has like 140kw or something really low.... whats bad about a old S13?? My brothers friend is a mechanic and hes got a 180, but hes put a twin turbo, now that would be over board but he started off with a stock 180 and now its a beast!

get a cheap car. it will be cheaper on fuel, insurance, and repairs when you crash. This sounds terrible but i had four accidents before I was twenty. one was stupidity and the rest just lack of care and attention. It all chalks up to experience. and you can't buy that.

Enthusiasm is what kills a lot of people on the roads. I don't want to be harsh but as others have said, start off with something NA. It will be the best way to learn the ways of the road. My first car was a civic, and building that up I learnt invaluable lessons about how to make a car handle and what affects the way a car drives on the road. Even if you only have a NA car for a year it will probably stop you from doing something stupid on the road. Or it will stop you from having something that will allow you to do something crazier than you could have done with a NA car.

I don't want to sound harsh, but seeing two major skyline crashes involving people only a couple of years younger than myself, has made me really think about the way people treat the right to drive on our roads.

My 2 cents

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
