Anyone Selling A Skyline In 2-5 Years Time?

[R33GTS25t]

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 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 ) 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 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,

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.....

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!

[Dim1]

just so u know a 180 is equally as powerful (not really but power to weight is similar) to a r33.

[D-G]

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!

[Dim1]

non turbo s13 or a even a r31 skyline.

[DRiFT!]

Im not suggesting what to get, im telling you what to get. A CA18DE or SR20DE S13. Na im just playing its your choice, but i reckon it will come down to a S13.

[D-G]

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....

[D-G]

and my thread is not getting old people are still replying....
