girls who dont have wankers in their ears find skylines naice!
I'm 21 = young
and female...
and some of my better guy friends drive/build VLs and such (who actually ENCOURAGED me in buying my Skyline)
...yet i own an R33 GT-R and think its the hottest, meanest thing ever?
Assumptions. Not always correct.
-
Should i be ashamed? i only have a 2002 Honda Integra Type R.
and a lil hotwheels Civic *blush*

mate i would advise you go down with your dad or something.. will greatly increase your chances of getting a test drive.
i bought my 33 from Dennis and he took me and my dad for a drive without a deposit or anything.
oh and, get the 2 door! so much nicer looking i think.. and if you can't take passengers what's the point of having a big sedan?
Think the only NAs dennis has are 4 doors afaik. But yeah they say all that... My invoice for my GT-R said the guys wanted the cheque to clear before they'd hand it over but I asked about it and he said it was fine to give him the bank cheque the day I got it.

what exactly does the day involve? Never been to one before...

Ah yikes. Iunno they let me without a deposit- dennis driving. But then again I had been calling them constantly for 3 weeks so they knew I was for real lol
-
Alright, thanks for the tip. I'll ring them up soon, going from the carsales ad, the 1999 one looks really nice.
lol they all look really nice... trust me
happy hunting

I think they are hoping that in 3 years time your attitude towards driving has changed. Every guy I know myself included wanted to speed or drag at every traffic light when we first got our licences. And we did. This does wear off, or atleast cut down alot over time. P platers do know how to drive fast cars...there's no special skill to getting a car moving. It's all about the attitude though. A friend of mine on his P plates did so many burnouts, drifts, tail slides and handbrake turns that he became very experienced with bad situations. He could get himself out of a bad situation better than any full licenced driver I know. But his attitude was the thing that got him in those bad situations in the first place. In contrast a full licence driver, after 3 years of getting that stuff out of their system, is less likely to put themselves in that situation to begin with. Had my friend done it in a "more capable" car he probably wouldn't be alive today, because he did push that Magna to its limits and it was probably more forgiving than say a Clubsport. As for the slow 4 cylinder cars being sped in...I do agree with this...for even a Ford Laser can hit 160km/h...but fast cars do encourage this type of behaviour. No one really cares about making a Ford Laser go fast, you need 100% attitude to want to do that. You sit in a GTR and the inclination is to give it a fang. Afterall, most people buy a fast car to go fast...
True. I still have trouble behaving in it =b but would definitely be a worse situation had I had it from the outset. We learn from mistakes...or try to. I've had a couple crashes in my pulsar that I like to think have made me more observant as a driver.

I find the time estimates on google maps to be pretty accurate, maybe look at that? but theyre right, at LEAST 20 mins more in peak traffic.

lol.
We do all we are legally allowed to do. Simple as that.
Would you appreciate us giving out YOUR IP and other details based on someone's 'claim' that you are dodgy? Of course not.
Did you contact the police about your situation and have them contact us? No you did not.
What are you going to do with an IP address anyway?
No ISP is going to tell you who was using it and their details without the Police getting involved in the first place.
SAU has a legal responsibility. If you are too bitter to accept that then that is no-ones problem but your own. We constantly help people who HELP THEMSELVES (by going to the Police, which you have not done)
End of the day, if you get stung buying over the forums its your own stupidity.
Simple as that.
We try out best, but sometimes the stupid cannot be saved from themselves
well said.

I agree for the most part - my friends and i did our p's under the old laws, one of my friends saw out her p's on a vs statesman v8 cuz of power to weight. And my parents still highly disapproved of my buying the GT-R for that exact reason - you won't be able to handle it, that thing will kill you, etc.
-
Fair enough, they're cheap as it is anyways, I'm not sure how the old man will go though with someone else test driving it for us, but what can you do. What I'll do is ring up and introduce myself over the phone, organise a time to get down there and if they can take us for a spin, do they have stuff like a hoist that they can jack the car up on for us to look underneath it?
Do they have any sort of trading hours on their website?
Thanks once again.
They do all compliances, repairs, RWC etc on site, yes they have a hoist.
Theyre open 9-5 weekdays from memory and 12-4 saturdays, though the mechanics have the day off on saturday.

I hate to sound like a grandma on this or something...but while im not in agreeance with a lot of the laws surrounding young drivers (1 passenger from your peer group for example) but those laws are there for your protection (power to weight and such). They were put on place for a reason - being the amount of young drivers killing themselves in cars they had nowhere near enough experience to handle. for example - driving a tricked out V8 clubsport for the first time on the day you get your ps is going to end in nothing but tears and heartache. They want you to learn to drive first before you think about a car thats a lil harder to handle. While its been said before on the forum - yes theyre just going to push a lil 4 cylinder harder than its possibly meant to be driven and kill themselves ANYWAY, this can't be helped. They do what they can, and this is why you lose your licence and your money if youre busted in a car youre not allowed to drive. think about it. Its only 3 years. Yes it sucks that you cant drive what you want straight up. but its for your own safety.
And from experience, its worth the wait.

Plz see my reply in your other thread for this Damo =D

now theres an idea =b hahaha

Unfortunately with both of the cars you are looking at - you will have issues with negotiating the price. As stated in both ads, both cars are listed at cost price to the dealer. Theyre just looking to break even on them, rather than suffer a loss. No profit will be made by them on either of these vehicles. You would have a problem talking ANY dealer down past cost price, not just Dennis.
Usually in terms of test driving their cars, due to expense, insurance and all of the cars being unregistered, Dennis usually takes the trader plates and takes you for a ride in the car. I'm not certain if this is the same for the NAs, this is simply how it went down on my GT-R - and for an asking price of 25000 its completely plausible to do so. JapCars are generally happy to see you whenever youre available, will take you for a test drive when you want to, etc. Theyre very friendly, honest and laidback where their cars are involved. Their mechanic Bob once told me, when i was looking "whats the point of selling a lemon car? You spend a lot of time and money trying to make it right to be sold and then if it still has problems it just keeps coming back and costing you even more time and money" - so generally speaking all the cars there are pretty much faultless. You should be fine.
Let me know how you go - and once again, make sure you tell the guys i said hi =b

Okie - I have a photojournal of the days events to show you all =D
Ao first, my naighbours have been burning off a lot of tree matter and such for the last day or so. Dumping a TON of ash on my poor GTR - as below:
So i took the car for its first bath since i bought it two weeks ago.
And then brought it home only to find TWO fires had now been lit and ash was continuing to rain from the sky like it was judgement day.
So i took the car out again, to get this:
Car is now clean and mostly ash free. But it cost me some to get it that way =(
Oh well. Anything for my baby <3 hehe

The 1999 R34, the one with the cool looking front bar, is that stock standard? What got me onto the R34 was yesterday, I was at a Hyundai dealership in a mid size town about 25 minutes from mine, planning to look at the Hyundai i30 (which we test drove and is great mind you) I come across an automatic turboed R34 in white, it had huge black wheels and was slammed, had 2 screens in the headrests, some sort of fibreglass bonnet with all these square holes in it. I didn't really like the wheels, and the big chrome "Dub" badge I noticed, but when I sat inside it in the drivers seat, it felt really comfortable, and seemed to be a smaller sedan, well smaller than a Commodore and Falcon anyway. I liked the font on the cluster, seemed "well built" on the inside. The seat fit my....... round shape.. easily and comfortably.
I really liked the R34, even though we didn't test drive it.

Whats the difference between the OEM coilpacks and the "Spitfire" ones?
Unless they don't work properly you wouldn't really need to look into Splitfires. i believe its mostly to do with what theyre actually made of that make Splitfires so handy, they perform better under pressure - the usual aftermarke jibe. Personally never had to change the coilpacks in my 33 so i really have no idea. One of the other guys may be able to help you with that though. Perhaps try a search on coilpacks and see if that helps.
Now, turning to the car itself...youre looking at this one?
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...dealer_id=12510
Bar on that one is stock standard.
For the money (being the same) have you considered the 2000 model? Being as it has less km's and such, being even a year younger to most people makes this appear a better buy on paper. But both cars look clean.
