spotted a black stagea with R34 GTR wheels headin south on main-north near elizabeth about 20 minutes ago.

actually... you can get a brand spankin GT3 RS for a smidgen under $300k i believe.

well mate, theres a lot of good advice in this thread. but you still seem to be ignoring it, or simply reading what you want to read. so, if youre not going to listen to someone whos been there, and done that, how bout listenin to someone whos about the same age? i got my L's in september of '04, 6 months after i turned 16, i learned in a TP magna and Lancer coupe, i learnt pretty quick (which isnt really much considering how easy it is to get your licence in this country), i was one lesson a week for 6 weeks, then i was cut down to one lesson a fortnight, so of course, i thought i was pretty damn good. got my P's 6 months later without any trouble. as soon as i started driving by myself, i was just like you, wanted the fastest car i could, wanted a skyline, told myself id buy one when id been on the road for 6 months. nearly 2 years later, and im still driving the magna (god, 2 years, ive only just realised its been that long...), probably the smartest decision ive made. as much as id like to tell myself otherwise, i dont have enough experience under my belt to drive a skyline. ive made alot of stupid decisions in the magna, had a lot of close calls, i would've paid an incredible price if i had made these mistakes in a skyline. my next car will probably (well, definitely) be another non-turbo, low displacement Fwd'er, and thats another 12 months away, minimum. so thats near enough to 3 years experience on my p's and full licence in a clapped out, automatic mitsi. just over 3 years experience if you count the time on my l's, and i'll be moving onto another a Fwd car, maybe after a year or 3 driving and tinkering with that, ill move onto a skyline. turbo or non turbo, a skyline is a performance car. period. youve got four months experience in a VL, and you think youre ready for a skyline. what you need to is take a step back, look at your driving history, and ask yourself if its really worth it. is it worth the $40,000 over 4 years to own it? is it worth risking your life? is it worth risking the life of you friends? is it worth risking the life of the kids across the street? is it worth risking the life of the kids waiting to cross at the lights when you lose control? i know thats looking at worst case, but thats the way you have to look at it sometimes. youve got more than enough money to buy a decent 4 banger (much better than a magna ), and have some fun with the rest. sorry for the long winded post, and it probably doesnt make much sense, but yeah, its early mornin so yeah, thats my $0.02 and then some. take it easy. dave.

been in one... awesome cars!

heh, id love to come along... if someone in my neck of the woods could gimme a ride

*drools over the GTR replica.* dont care if it aint as fast, id still have the C10 over a '34.

ill be getting one. for three reasons, GT5 FFXIII MGS4 that is all. and hey, march release date... "so, about my birthday..."

not as bad as that bright yellow/green one with the BA front though...

yeah, theyre veilside andrew's.

only ever seen a VH dropped into anything. would be cool seein one of those in a GTR though, complete with AWD

"4100 TWIN CAM 32VALVE V8" yup... i havent seen a single one? there is one BEING built in NZ, but thats a fair ways off. i know there's an R33 running around with one, possibly supercharged? dare i say they'd be capable of a lot more than the humble RB. its a lot newer, engineered better than the RB's. sorry for the bump. cool thread none the less, any updates?

hey people, been lookin through here for a while, seein some really awesome shots! makes me wanna get back out there and start takin some more pics. ill hopefully be gettin a new camera soon, so ill be able to add to all this, but i thought id share some of my old pics. took em last year for a media class, first photos i ever took without using the auto function (i did have more, but i can only find these ) (no idea why it says theyre .gifs though...) thanks for lookin dave.

ooh, do you need in qualifications or anything for that? might drop in a resume (yeah, im desperate for work too )

might wander down and have a looksee. but got a work dinner the night before (and i dont have a 'line ) anyone out north wanna give us a lift?

awesome car man, looks neat as! good buy. Rays CE28N's...

afaik, the atcc cars HR31's were bare-shells to start, no chassis number/registration numbers marking them as GTS-R's. (feel free to correct me if you know otherwise, i jus remember readin that some time ago.)

whos is the ultra wide yellow r32? looks crazy!

great improvement over the Z-Tune chop. keep it up!

yeah, crankcase emissions.

haha, ive got all bronze's on the licence's well, mostly, got a few silvers scattered around, and even a few golds, on the tracks that i HATE... im up to about 70% on my current file, was up to 90-95 last time around.

soft sports.

hmmm, new quickest lap... not exactly a street car though, 49.765 with Nissan GTR Concept LM Race Car.

i thought you pretty much couldnt defend yourself. at all?

id be surprised if it DOESNT happen. someones bound to get fed up with it.

no farkin way... not another one... ill keep and eye out for ya mate. edit: just copied it onto the SA section on the R31 forums so you got more eyes lookin for ya.
