Getting a GTR is one thing, it's another to afford the upkeep.

Having AWD is a great bonus. For under 21 consider a GTS-4 instead of a GTR for lower upkeep and more managebale power.

But hey, whatever works.

Very true if the young driver puts in every cent spent on the car he will respect it more, but in the end it all comes down to driver attitude and thats it, theres nothing really more to it.

But it aint that bad ive been pulled over once in a whole year of driving, just for random breatho n licence check - that was it.

Behave!

They're RWD, until there's slip, and then power starts feeding to the front, right?

Yep exactly, and they can bite hard because of this.

I was 21 when I bought my GTR. I didn't have an accident or kill anyone.

I would recommend that if the person had no prior track, kart, rally experience then sure buy the car, becasue it's your decision and your money, but just take it easy and treat it with respect. Learn to drive it off the road not in traffic, if you feel the need to punt it hard.

End of the day it's his decision. I say go for it. I feel I was mature enuf at 21 to drive the GTR. But I know plenty of ppl that aren't.

And if it all goes pear-shaped - could be my life (as well, or instead). I reiterate : You can NEVER have too much driver training.

pear shaped? no one wants things to go pear shaped but hey things happen and its good your making a point about it, although 1 person on this forum who probably is a sensible driver isn't going to save you, me, or anyone else from the amount of f**kheads that are out on the road now.

Laws are there to try and prevent younger drivers from owning high powered vehicles, i've still seen p plater corvette drivers, p plater gtr drivers and p plater xr8 drivers, i'm sure i couldn't drive my skyline when i was a p plater but i did..

Can't a p plater in a mitsubishi magna hit 180-200kmp/h? How you gona stop someone? Their 1st f**k up might be their last...

But hey what can you do?

well after reading all the post ive come to the conclution, that is the same as most of you. if he (the driver) is mature and responserble fine let him get a GTR.

driver traning should be consided.

well ill just keep saveing now for my GTR :D

hmm it all depends how he was driving his r31??

As for me i was going to buy a r33 for my first car.... after given it much more thought i bought a r31 silhoutte...

Then came the r33

so preety much if he is a good driver and knows how to drive, i see no problems him driving that.....

hell if you are going 160km/h in a gtr or a ford focus... its the same thing, only difference is in a gtr you will get there really fast

I have known a few well skilled drivers who have terrible street ethics.

Most of which have had serious accidents and loss of licenses.

So if he has never lost his license for speeding..running reds...or drink driving and still has most of his points.

YES BUY THE GTR....

If he likes to speed...hand-brake stop,fast launches and street drag....and thinks he is never going to get hurt.

NO...you are going to kill some-one you dumb f**k.......and I really don't care for his life but the ones he will hurt.

So I think I made myself quite clear.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
