yeah mate.. i think you might need a bit more experiance than 1 month to drive a GTR.

it is not hard, but you have drive as second nature, for example my car has a 5 puck button clutch.

this would take excperiance to drive confidently and smoothley. then if you think you wanna get 1st 2nd 3rd gear

launch and hook gears start with something more sedate!

GTR = deadly in wrong hands! ;)

u learn from mistakes when learning how to drive manual

i wouldnt be driving a love one in someone elses GTR if i only had 4 weekends to learn how to drive manual

especially without insurance even if for 1 night

i had a few scrarey close calls in my r32 when i first got it only because i was inexperienced

my 2 cents

:)

take his advice.

a GTR can be terrifying to drive when youre new to them.

even harder if youve only just been learning manual for a few weeks.

im sure your girl would love the car, but probably wouldnt like boosting into a tree.

use that $500 to hire a decent limo.

why dont you hire the owner of the GTR to drive it for you instead. That way, you still get the car you want and there is not going to be any unexpecting trees in the way. If your lucky the guy might even show it off for you. If i was living there i would probs help you out, but we are still waiting for the house to sell b4 we move.

I think DriftR_33 is right. One month is probably too short to be able to have enough experience to drive a GTR. You don't want to drive your friend's GTR as if you were "riding a horse" when you on a 5 puck button clutch. I don't think your girl would be impressed with that.

Hire a LIMO... :wub:

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
