i dont think this situation has much to do with a Turbo or V8 not being good for a 19 yr old, but the fact that your parents dont trust you because they see that you dont drive responsibly.

maybe for your own sake you should stick to a lower powered car till you become responsible.

Thank god someone asked this one! this is the first i've seen this thread and was wondering why the hell no-one picked this.

ok, i upgraded from my pulsar to a gts-t when i was about 18, added a GTR to the garage when i was about 19, sold the gtst a short while later and still have the GTR (currently for sale)

freeking beautiful cars awesome to drive and i've only ever had 1 offence (aged about 20 at the time and it was 90 in a 70 zone... deserved it.

you'll know if you should or shouldn't get a powerfull car for the time being... but the facts are that a low powered car is just as dangerous... a 21 year old mate of mine is dead, another mate really badly injured (thought he'd lose both legs) and a 19 year old girl is also dead because she drove a kia rio across 3 lanes onto the wrong side of the road and hit them.

age and power of cars isn't the problem it's what's in your head... if you can see yourself loosing your license... stiff shit, you'll learn... if you can see your self causing an accident, stop and think, cause you could be the next person to kill someone else / yourself.

f*#k that's a long little speal and probably doesn't make the most sense so the point is... what ever car you get, it doesn't matter... it's the way you drive it that does.

thanks guys keep the advices coming. very helpfull  :angry:

for some reason i'm leaning towards an ae92 GTi but damn it i want power.

i mean with so many racer/dragger wanna bees around in their commodores and s13's  and shit you'd really wanna shut a few of them up.    :(

looks like you won't be happy till you wrap your car around a tree. Or worse, till you kill the occupants of an oncomng car and have to live with the consequences.

Its simple. Learn to drive responsibly. You parents (through dint of sheer age) may just have a point.

You just want "power". power trip more like. just do all us 'line owers a favour: get a volvo, and don't make us look bad

regards mid life crisis

Are they paying for the car? Do you live under their roof rent-free? If so, they should make the choice for you because you're dependant on them.

In any case, they're just doing the parental thing and looking after your best interests. They're not worried that you'll beat them down Eastern Creek, they're worried you'll kill yourself.

Earn the trust, buy a shitter and save the money so you can buy something even BETTER than a 10K car in a year or two. =-]

Oh, additional: So many people on SAU asking really basic simple questions on automechanics or asking if they can skimp on this or use a cheaper that...

1) Maintaining performance vehicles is expensive. Budget for it.

2) Getting a cheap-box first will grow your mechanical knowledge much quicker.

you're a f*king idiot.

you are onw of those idiot racer/dragger wanna bees by saying that you want to put them in their place.

I'm sick of being politically correct.

you are a young kid.

you have no driving experience.

you even said yourself that your parents don't want you to get a powerful car cause they have been in the car with you when you speed.

isn't it obvious to you that you are reckless?

and then you say you speed when it's safe, at like midnight on hume hwy.

I can't get over how f*king stupid this remark is.

You know what you are.. a waste of oxygen.

I don't care if you are young and dum and full of cum.

people always go "oh kids will be kids"

bull shit.

you need a f*king beating to bash some sense in to you.

1.) your parents know better than you and you should respect them you spoilt little shit

2.) you have a stupid attitude and you "THINK" you know, but you don't know shit.

3.) you have next to no driving experience and yet you say "I know when it's safe to speed" . do you think those "there's no such thing as safe speeding" ads are there for people apart from you? it's for people just like you.

it's sad to say that it doesn't make any difference what car you get cause you will do stupid shit in any car.

skyline for a first car.

what a f*king joke.

you're just another front cut waiting to happen.

<_<

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
