HAHAHA you are joking right? Mate if you are stupid enough to drive that on your p's then go right ahead. every cop that see's you in that will pull you over full stop. Stop dreaming and wait until it is feasable. dont even worry about the legality of driving such a car on restricted driving permit etc.

yeah learn how to spell before you worry about learning how to drive maintain and up keep a skyline. And yeah those rims do suck arse

also the shopping list on the front quater panel looks ghey!

Its not just purchase price buddy running a car like that costs more than the p/week payments. forget it go buy a commonwhore until you are old enough to legally drive it.

first of all, when did u get your P?i cant remember the date, but if u got it only recently and u r still going for it, u can NOT drive that car as there is a high-performacne-vehicle restriction now on ur license in your state. u r right as there r ppl driving GTT R34s on their Ps, but they got their P plates b4 the restriction got brought in. so if u cant drive it, tough luck mate.

Also, a highly-modified skyline no matter whos driving it will pull heaps of attention from the boys in blue. dont know what it has on the car but one thing for sure is that at least it looks modified. and thats all it matters for the cops.

think about it b4 u make any decisions. i know money is not a problem for u, but driving a car like that needs a lot of experience as well as skills.

maybe u need a shitbox for half a year?? :)

Those wheels are fuggin terrible on that R34, they ruin the whole car!

You'd have to be stupid to spend that much money on a first car, chances are you'll probably stack it and there goes all your money down the drain.

You should consider buying a S14 200sx, prices start at around 14k for a series 1 and S14a probably starts around 17k or so. S14a's look awesome with a kit and decent wheels (not like that crap on the R34) and it will have more than enough power for you...

Learn to drive first then consider getting a more expensive car.

yeh i didnt like the wheels myself they a bit to fat for my liking.

sorry about the typing. in a rush and thats how i type the fastest.

parents gonna pay 20 i got saved up 10 myself and yeh i know about insurance but it can be done. my mate turned 18 the other day got his S15 insured. i know a S15 isnta r34 but yeh.

about S15s.......is that a good choice for a 1st car, although my mates gonna be cut if i get the same thing as him.

If you're going for the looks of a car (which could be seen from the pics), you may choose to consider an N/A R34. It will cost a lot less, it would be legal (those other P platers may be N/A) and if you're keen later, you could turbo it or sell it to another P plater that shares your tastes.

mate, in terms of safety and shit, i would NEVER recommand anyone to buy S15s for their first cars. a mate of mine bought my old S15 for his first car, and guess what, he wrote it off and nearly killed me in the car. S15s r lighter than R34s(even tho they r both RWD) and they have similar power output . so that leads to s15's tail crapiness if u dont know what u r doing. (thats y they r so good for drifters).

trust me, u dont want a s15 b4 u r experienced even tho they do look good.

listen man, if you can afford it buy it. BUT ONLY if your willing to get a 5K loan or can afford about 5K for insurance... as for a second car im looking at a TT supra and im willing to fork over 5K for insurance.... alot better then losing 30K in one shot!

i got qouted by aami? 2K to insure my NXR, which is NA, auto and front wheel drive... i mean... god damn... 2K a year for a 6K car... thats a joke! ive been driving on my P's since the start of the year and i havnt got a single pin dent since ive been driving.

and to talk about experience... i deliver pizzas (fastest pizza boy in town, wanna challenge?) 100K's a day, 700K's a week and thats all town driving... every single K of it. thats day and night, hot, cold, rain, storm, peak traffic, no traffic, dick heads on the road. grannys on the road. theres been drags on deliverys... theres been chicks distracting me..

but anyways buy the car if your willing to get it insured... if not... buy a car less then $500... thrash it, crash it, learn your shiz... then buy the high pro car... yeah?

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
