mate basically congrats on ur car. if you can afford it & also the maintenance then why not?. just be safe and dont be dumb and you'll be fine :)

That pretty much sums it all up :/

Good luck.....

....and look after that car......

no offence man, but i think u are insane to be buying a gtr at 17 years old. i would cringe to think of myself with a gtr two years ago, shit i would cringe thinkin about owning one now! ( as much as i would love to!) im 19, been driving cars for 2 years and own a 33 gtst, i work full time and still find myself struggling for cash at the end of the week. and as the other guys have said, your never happy unless u keep getting more and more hp!

and gtrs are marginally more expensive to upgrade/maintain, and of course- to insure. this is the kinda shit u should have researched BEFORE deciding wats right to buy... im amazed u didnt get insurance quotes before u bought or decided to buy a car.

but good luck with it hey, hope it all works out for u...

Yeah man....its just the people I hang around, they all have imports and they are my age! One of them has an 06 STI....

I think ill be alright I wont upgrade till im way older. But yeah its my dream car ive loved them since they first came out and I was old enough to tell between a Rhino and a Car but yea haha

Good on ya mate. if you can offord it get it. You can get up to 160km an hour and kill yourself in a pulsar if you wanted to.

In my opinion a stock GTR isnt that much faster than a GTST specially if it has a FMIC, etc. And at least the GTR is AWD so in the respect its probably a safer first car. Your also likely to be a safer driver in a car you love than one you dont really want and dont care about.

Good luck, cant wait too see it on cruises.

*thumbs up* Keep it on track dude!! Don't wanna throw it all away just because everyone else is a dickhead and u succumb to peer pressure. My parents used to tell me. You like that car eh? Get ur education done, u'll get a decent paying job and that car could be yours.

Hopefully i'd be able to enjoy it when i'm 60 and have saved enough money... if i ever do. LoL

P/s: Izzint the Atessa sometimes a little more tricky, causing u to spin out easier? I haven't driven 1 before, but i've heard sometimes it's a bit cranky.

if you boot it hard enough and get all 4 wheels spinning, you can be in a whole new world of poo.

na i wont be booting it on normal roads, maybe the highway, but not streets etc.

also i wanna get a boost controller and when i drive ill turn it right down....unless i need to use it ha

You say that now.. .but once you have the power you want to use it. It's way too addictive, you'll get bored of the power you have and you'll want more, it NEVER ends :rant:

Asks Mr. Kleets about GTR spin outs :(

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
