LoL Guys don’t be so hard on him. 2-5 years time is a very long time frame mate (Next month seems to take for ever to me) your 15, I take it you want a skyline for your p's (2 years time), trust us all, the rate these restrictions are going, especially here in Vic, you simply wont have a Skyline on your P's because it will be illegal. Get a S13, or a 180, even with a CA18 will give you enough power for the first 3-4 years and if you really want more, just change the spark plugs, ignition leds and air filter and you will have another 30Hp to play around with. You also need to think more logic, just because you can afford the car doesn’t mean you will be able to afford to maintain it. You will need petrol, insurance, tires ect. And that’s enough with out throwing a turbo, or Skyline for that matter into the equation. So get the R33 off your mind for now, get a job these summer holidays to keep you busy and start saving for you first car.

The laws have changed drastically over the past 2 years regarding young kids and High performance vehicles, and by the looks of it, its only gonna get tougher in the comming years, mate have you considered costs of even running a turbo car?? let alone the insurance which will cost an arm and a leg to someone with no driving experience, thats if you can find a company that will insure you. theres nothing wrong with starting off with a cheap NA s13 or 180. and judging by your first post you would be after a 33GTR, for someone who will be 17 insurance on that will be almost what the car is worth if you can get it insured, just get a cheap run around for a year or so and just learn how to handle a car and get more experience under your bealt.

hang on a second....if you guys look at the top i said, what about a 180 and some guy said to me its still to much power... its not like i'd kill myself, i have had expirence under the wheel befor, i mean sure 2-10times isnt enough exp but its a start, and i dont even have enough money for a R33, its just a childhood dream, im sure you guys had a dream car when you were younger too.

wow, now that is funny. ever thought of being a comedian? lets hope not because you really suck.,

Oh great start :rofl: And welcome..

You see, most members here are laid back, and like to joke around. By name calling you're setting yourself up for a fall pretty soon~

Just a side note; this forum eats and spits out 13-15 year old dreamers by the bucketload on a school-holiday basis once their dreams of owning a "fully sik drift-spec R33 with all da neons and bov bro" were shot down by a little thing we shall call " r e a l i t y ".

Some questions for ya:

1) Can you afford the initial purchase cost for the 'Liner/180SX/S13 Silvia? If you can't, lay back and learn as much as you can from the great tech-related threads this forum has (its a great information resource :D) and try contributing in some way, you'll be more welcomed than by posting "I want to buy a skyline". If you can afford it however, read on (you'd read on anyway...)

2) Can you afford the insurance, fuel, fines associated with owning an import, cop attention, bad media hype, possible target for thieves and being public enemy #1 because you drive an import? If you can't, go back to learning as much as you can from this forum :rofl: If you can, all the luck to you, just don't do anything stupid like drag race on streets..No tossers allowed here

Good luck on the road to (possible) Skyline ownership,

prae

Makining new mates are what forums are partially about and hate to say it little buddy but your not off to a very good start.....

If you join a forum you need to learn how to accept criticism and a joke

:newbie:

Welcome to the forums D-G. Watch out for the trolls - apperantly they like to pick on kids.

A good learning car is something that will let you put your foot down to the floor and take 5 minutes to get to 60km/h. This is simply because the younger you are the more you drive like a go-cart (unless you actually race go-karts).

A N/A silvia would probably be a good compromise between something too fast, to something that won't give you any road feedback (newish ford laser for example). I think both of these are equally dangerous.

Having said that 140kw is a heck of a lot mate. I plowed my first car into a tree at 130km/h and it had 80kw at the engine. I was lucky to walk away but if I had the car I have now which is probably spot on 200rwkw I'd be a statistic and not much to fill in my coffin.

It's all chance. The more you reduce the chance of something bad happening the greater your odds. There will always be those that defy the odds either way (like the kids who never drove but got run over the one time a year they stepped outta the house, or those who had a skyline as a first car, drove it every day and never crashed).

The thing to remember though is if you have a fast car you can go fast. If you don't, you can't. Considering speed is a factor in deaths, if you can't get there quicker you're safer.

Either way. Good luck!

Yeah, i relised that people love to pick on younger ones like me, oh well i dont care.

Thanks for the information (to the guys that are helping me out) i appriciate it heaps.

Theres nothing like getting knowlegde from High performance car owners. so once again thanks!

yeah chap...lighten up!If you cant take a joke your not going to last long around here!Anyway....would you like to go for a ride in my car?i have some boiled lollies around here somewhere....:rofl:

hahah u being serious?

lets gooo!

u live in melb? n wot do u drive?

man this aint fair.... what kind of car is good for a first then, you guys have all gone through it so you all know what im going through right now... S13 was on my mind for a little while... but if you guys could give me some ideas it would help me out heaps!

ok well how much do S13 go for now dayz? and any chance they will drop even more in price?

how much does insurence on them cost?

Mate, while your enthusiasm is great, this thread is getting old and covers off alot of information that has been posted on these boards many many times.

and this thread is just going in circles, why not check the classifieds for the S13 sale prices... and them check them again in 3 years when you want to buy. Also why not ring an insurance company to find out....

better yet go to www.nissansilvia.com these guys will help you out....

what he means by old is that over holidays all the school kiddies come in here and ask the same questions

well thats not why i came here.

i like skylines, can you tell me why your here?

im sure everyone on the here is on for the same reason otherwise there wouldnt be this forum right now would there.

it would be nice if you guys stopped giving me shit and just get on with it.

i came here to just talk and everytime i ask a QUESTION i keep getting shit about im young and stupid. dont like me or my age then stop replying to my threads.

    • Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks
    • Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks
    • Nice work on the paint. Those 3 studs are long as. 
    • Hi everyone, still chasing a bunch of this stuff. Thanks
    • Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
