hey guys, after stupidly speeding, and geting cought, i coped 6 months, i get my Ps back this week, i was contemplating geting a non turbo r34 skyline (sue to p plater restrictions) but now have decided to go for the cheaper, but better all rounder (initial cost, insurance, performance, fuel economy) 5speed SSS n15 pulsar.. do u guys think this is a better choice? i mean i would totally prefer a skyline, but non turbo skyline? dunno doesnt appeal to me that much and after asking a few ppl on this forum, seems to be the same advice from everyone, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A NON TURBO R34.. so ye ive taken this advice.. what are your views on the n15 SSS?

now i just wanted to aska another quick question.. my license is currently restricted to automatic.. if i drove the 5speed SSS and happend to get cought what is the penalty? and after the suspension do i get my 4 points back?.. i will be going to getr my manual license soon, its just that im extreamly busy and just need to delay geting them for about 4 weeks.. im sure i could go undetected for 4 weeks... but ye anyhelp would be greatly appriciated guys ,

my advise mate stick to the guide lines of your licence or you will end up in a world of trouble. If you arnt licenced to drive a vehicle then you would most likely void your insurance and thats not worth the risk.

Be on your best behaviour you admit what you did was stupid so dont make another silly decision potentially throwing you back in the same shitty situation.

oooh for fu ks sake seriously what is evryones problem.. i need a fu king car and im gonna get one, im sick of people saying save your money and wait three years.. would you wait three years?????????????? sorry to blow up, but im sick of it, i went from thinking i was gonna buy a 20 000grand non turbo skyline, to saving 10gs and buying a 10grand pulsar

when you get your license back - you will have no points at all for the remainder of being on your p's. so 1 slip up and your off for another 3 months . you get 6 points when u reach your black license , where most people will have 12 . ... better play it safe .

as for buying a car - why ask other's opinions , at the end of the day its your money and your the one who is going to have to live with what you buy . so buy what makes you happy mate.

I see why you lost your license.

I see why you lost your license.

Amen..

I dont think they meant dont get a car at all.. I think what was meant was get the cheaper option and save that extra money you are saving by getting a pulsar..

Pretty simple?

easy noobs, at the end of the day it's his life, his car..

All he asked was for some advice (dis-advantages/advantages) so take it easy

In my opinion mate, the SSS is just as fast as a r34 n/a. It's great on fuel, and around the same to maintaine.. if it makes you happy buy the sss and save 10g's for a mad car later on... Do what makes you happy because it's your car.

Why ask for peoples opinion if your just gunna blow up?

Get whatever you want, no-one really cares what you get.

Cheers

i get the shits cos everytime i ask peopel opinions on a car they give me the same bullsh it save your money get sumthing cheaper.. SSS is cheap enough.. i bet of i said i wana get a 500 dollar vl commodore hunk of sh it again, people would say save your money and buy something cheaper for now..it just gets on my nerves,

I wouldn't call buying an NA R34 a waste of money...at the end of the day its what you can afford and what you like. To me buying a SSS pulsar would be an even bigger waste of money...but thts just my opinion.

hey dave.... personally id much rather the N/A 34 ... a) its a much nicer car.... 2) it says skyline on the back .... 3) i would neva b seen in ne thing other than a rwd car.... 4) your going to have it for 3 years...

5)... which one would pull the chicks? LOL

na but thats my 2 cents... i have had my license taken off me for 1 years... coming up on 1 year now i am on green ps.. just got another 33... i was going to be restricted to the conditions but got out of it as i owned a prohibited vehicle before the laws were introduced...

get mine back febuary....

only disadvantages of driving a 34 over a SSS after just getting your license back:

COPS dont look at if the gt badge is blue or red.... (turbo or non turbo for noobs out there lol)

COPS look at the words skyline and then their next reaction is to flick the pretty lights switch and if theyre feeling randy theyl even throw in some funny noises.

lol

also drivin a rwd car i would b tempted to spin the wheels every now and again specially in the wet...

fwd car i wouldnt thrash personally cos i went through 3 cv joints in my last car and it costed me alot lmao...

thats my 2 cents...

thanks steve for being one of the only people to give me a decent answer..cheers mate

well i ahvent bought anything yet so i take everyones opinion into account, just hate it when ppl tell me to save my money for 3 years.. its not possible for me to work, go outy and got to uni with no car, public transport just doesnt always cut it..and i love cars so id like somthing nice.. but ye sorry to ppl i blew up at before

yeh man being restricted to non turbo really killed me like i was wrongly accused for racing someone.. couldnt do crap about it with a speeding record / burnout.... had my 33 impounded.... lost license for 1year for no reason... wasnt even speeding and he called it racing...bad coppa..

luckily i am not going to be restricted anymore...

3 years is a long time..

if i was restricted...id simply buy an r32 or something and get an m3 engine put in ...lol :P plenty of power...

i drive said sh*tbox and its really not that bad, although its probly not what you want. N15 seems reasonable, how about a V8 soarer, they're legal as far as i know for P platers, have all the luxuries you want. its a luxury car, so its less tempting to speed in it, its just a cruiser.

not legal man.... check the rta site.... download the restricted list...

theyre a smooth cruising car... but have similar stats of a truck.... best luxury for money though.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
