as much as i like my car, id really suggest you wait a bit until you buy a skyline.

when you are 20+ then look at buying one, but postpone it as much as you can, and save as much as you can to lessen the loan amount.

and if you wait long enough, R34 might be in your price range :D

Moding is more addictive than drugs

you get your car were u wont it

drive it 4 a couple of weeks then get flogged by a tx3 laser then the next stage comes in

it is like 2 dudes standing facing each ather then getting hand fulls of $100 notes and throwing them at each ather to se who wins

i love modding

a friend of mine bought an r33 turbo for her first car, she wrote it off a month later.

no offence but i find it a bit scary at the thought of fresh drivers with a powerful car... but meh they think they are invincible and that they will never crash etc... unfortunately statistics dont agree with them.

we aint being harsh dude, its just that we have all been there n done that already

ps. would an insurance company even insure someone without them having their licence yet? im sure once he gets his licence and tells the insurance company itll go up more cos dont they usually go on the youngest driver regardless of who the cars name is in?

Sammie, Dude not being harsh just honest we all own lines and know the costs involved especially if you start modding it. I agree with Rhianne a youngin in any big powerful car is scary but it's your choice and you've already made it just please be careful and respect your life and others. Don't ever be fooled into thinking you have something to prove when some retard tries to egg you on.

I used to race karts as well (dirt track in Wellard) and there is a BIG difference in the handling characteristics....They don't call them Whales for nothin.

Good Luck

dude check my comments they arent harsh;

I have been lucky to not smash my car yet *touch wood* i've had a few close calls. But the fact is we are all human and mistakes happen and ur more likling to drop second or kick the clutch mid turn in a skyline then u are in a shitter.

I think it really depends on the person you are. Like Rhianne said; some new drivers think they are god and that they can link 3 turns with tehre super drift skills or drop second and hole the smoke all the way up the street. and some drive normal and take there car to the track to have fun.

Im just going to add my 2cents; When people say they should ban P platers from turbos and imports, i kind of agree with it (not 100% but like 75%) the fact is my sister just had a baby and my gf is driving alot and i dont want anything to happen to them when they are driving and if some dickhead in an import thinks he is god and try to drift around every turn he takes, something is bound to happen to that person or to someone else driving

/end rant

again sorry but had to add my 2cents :(

buy a cheapy bunky thats easy to get insurance for and drop an import motor into it....... ie a ke30 corolla, the drop in say a 4age ( 1.6 twin cam twin carb), will go like stink, and will be cheap to fix when you do fark up drivin, because we all do at that age, im 30 now and i know wot im talkin about, we all think we're invinsible a t that age....... that way ya learn the road a bit beater before ya get ya beast and then can anticipate the other nuts on the road so they then dont end up writting of ya pride and joy.......

this is a great point, my friend has an ae85 coupe with 4age and i tell you i have more fun driving that car than driving my skyline.

The car is not as quick but u can give it shit and still be within the speed limit, it may not dish the chop but f**k it at the end of the day tehre are way too many cops to try and be a hero in ur car

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
