looks the part man, noice. dont let peoples opinions about who bought the car get to you man, i get the same thing.... f*** em, as long as you know you payed for it, who cares what people say.... there just jealous neways... not many people have a car like ours for there first one lol.  

just hope you get to keep it, but like "mashrock" said.... since its yours now... you should be able 2 keep it, coz you got it before the law came in, i dont think they'll make you sell it anyways.... i dont think they even can.

Yeah I know what's with that?

So what, my dad paid for my car, what's the big deal?

I don't really see what the issue is.

Hey man, nice ride. Enjoy.

No issue. Its just the satisfaction you earn from saving hard to buy the car of your dreams. Some people here may be jealous. There is no better feeling than achieving a goal. Having stuff thrown at you means nothing.

I didnt pay for my car and i take care of it like hell.

My car has scared me many many times, sometimes i take my mums 4WD because if something happened before i would be scared to drive it.

there is alot of satisfaction in paying for your car yourself and modding it yourself. you value it more. i lose respect for ppl who have loads of work done but none of that was done themselves, or paid for themselves.... i have more respect for an NA silvia with a pod if the owner saved up and paid for it and put the pod on himself.

i loved my Na siliva i spead 4k on Mod and it was still slow and boring i need some boost i i cut my loser and sold it then i found the skyline it was so lucky i found it so cheap and in good nick

Now i stress every day about my P test

Although I think in some ways it's the people who pay themselves and pay for the mods themselves feeling a little jealous.

I paid 17.5k for my R33 and then spent 10k modding it up. My money.

A mate paid 24k for a 1999 240rwkw S14. Full kit, mad wheels.

At the end of the day, he has a better, faster and cheaper car. Personally I'd rather have his car and 3.5k than the satisfaction that I bought my car stock.

When I was a boy I was given my first car by my Parents....a 6 year old 4 cyl Commodore :cheers:

I bought my next 30 odd cars :)

Finance was sooo much harder to get back then than it is now, which is why you see so many young guys driving flash cars ;)

Plus living at home helps

Man, I am so glad I live in Canada and don't have to put up with the government telling me what I can and cannot drive as long as it's a light vehicle. That just sounds so ridiculous to me but I suppose it makes sense to the government there. Keeps the roads safe for everyone and here there is so much more room anyway. Well, nice car man hopefully you get to keep her.

scottman - congratz on the car dude well done on saving up...

I've always loved the 33's - my 'line of choice.

Im in melb and was debating whether to get a 33.. but cant get turbs on it and didnt really want a 32, i feel they're a bit old - gr8 car either way.

Best of luck for the test mate hope all goes well.

lance.

Nice car man, please don't crash it. Especially into me~!! hahaha

Careful of boost, in particular in the wet, and i'm with the people who have the sh1ts with the guys who have their parents pay for their car and work etc (mainly cause i'm jealous that i had to buy it all myself :D)

Congrats on the purchase mate!! Very lucky to have it at your age... I can remember when you first bought your silvia as well, now this! Be careful in the wet, mine gets loose and its a NA with better suspension, and was on 255's at the time, wouldn't want to hear about another skyline wrapped around a pole!

Goodluck with your P's test too man, im sure you'll be right.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
