lol back in the day I was driving a 180sx on my P's.

That Clio looks horn in a widebody kit, but I bet you any money the kit and paint etc all come to over 10k alone. New Mazda 3's also a nice hot hatch, good on insurance and fuel.

As someone suggested before... a 3.0L straight 6 N/A Soarer, Aristo or Supra... same engine in 3 totally different cars... Soarer is sorta sporty and pimp, the asristo is straight out gangsta, and the supra is sporty.

Can i be a bitch? If u dont wanna read this then pass and read on -

All cars suck at keeping value - in the last 3 years ive had my car ive noticed that on general ALL skylines drop by about 2k MAX per year. IE spend your 20k now, and this time next year its 18k, then 16k, then 14k in 3 years...

If you were looking at doing something with your money would u buy something that depreciates as bad?

My advice is buy a house with 20k, and enjoy the wealth. when u are 30 years old and have your own house almost paid off, then buy a nice car to go with it FFS.

/end rant - r34 manual :)

Now this is my kind of plan. Never truer words spoken... with 1st time buyer bonus thats a great chunk off.

dont wate your cash on the house.It will depress the hell out of you seeing all your hard earned cash blown on a house.Wait till your married for that...why should girls have it all easy ?

I would go the NA supra...its probably the quickest of the bunch and with very little visual differences fro m the turbo RZ

go the old datto 1600. then build a relativly tuff l20b, or l18 if you want it to rev more. then keep the extra 10k left after modding and the money saved on insurance and get a gtr when your finished your p's.

parts are cheaper. and while it will never be as fast in a straight line( well not until you dump in a sr/ca turbs) i know of a few that will would give some rwd lines and run for thier money throught the mountains.

then again i have a soft spot for em.

i would buy a cheap puss bucket or keep the car you have, and keep driving that and saving, till you get off your 'P's then you should have easily enough to buy your twin turbo GTR and plus the money left over to Fix it, and possibly throw some mods on :P

Just my opinion :P

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
