WHITE is by far the best colour!!!!!!!!!

anyway good luck to u! i have to work hard and go without food some days but its worth it.

i work damn hard for my skyline but its Way worth it! :uh-huh: i have a GTS-T mainly coz of insurance ($2900 a year) and that i doubt the bank would lend me 40k (even if they did i couldn't make the repayments @ $10 an hr) as it is i have driven around for nealy 3 months with bald tyres (im still saving). Running expenses are high but its well worth it :(.

If i was you i would find insurance first! (Try Fameous Classic) Just say ur age and GTR in the same sentance and im sure most insurance companies will just laugh, say no, or quote the price of ur car.

i found insurance before the car which was good, because the other solution was to get a more expensive car, because the importer could arrange insurance cheaper.

Good Luck!

You wont find insurance for an R33 GTR for 17 year old. Its that simple.

Famous wont insure anyone under 19 years old.

10K and over will be about right to insure a GTR.

I would be thinking, If its the looks you are after then why not grab a nice series 2 GTS-T with a GTR kit, still a great looking car but without the serious insurance overhead plus its safer given the lack of driving experience.

PS this isnt a dig at devlish angel, just thinking sensibly.

well thankyou for that....

but i don't know why... u know.. gtr is better therefore i want a gtr... i gues it's that simple... im thinkin custon import is the way to go atm.... and about the white... well i realli like qhite aswell but i've been told that bvecause of the exhaust it getz realli realli dirty realli easily and that it doesn't look so good at night so yea...and i guess about insurance... hrmz... 19k a yr... unda 1k per month... so hrmz... but still doens't sound too bad... taking into consideration i won't be recievin it until after the hsc which is in like another 6 months... itz plenty of time for me to even save up money for insurance myself...

Im sorry but dam this is funny ;) and im not starting shit but dam a 17yr old or whatever in a gtr :P like i dont think they are that fast (stock) but its still enough to rap yourself around a wall or into another car if you dont know what your doing :uh-huh:

And as nick said "You wont find insurance " though maybe you will at a huge cost :uh-huh:

Im with Bleach1 "Sorry but i think youre talking crap" i 2nd that.

You think you can save up 19K in 6 months your full of ****in shit.

ppl twice you age make just over that in a YEAR.I think this whole thread is just a waste of everyones time no way you can earn that much at your age.

But comon what parents would buy a 16 going on 17 year old a GTR for there first car it's a accident waiting to happen with all that power and a inexperienced driver behind the wheel.

Even if i had rich parents when i was your age and they wanted to buy me a GTR for a first car id tell them no cause i wouldnt be experinced with that much power and i wouldnt risk the life of me and other people just cause it looks good and can go fast.

no offence but if you think im full of shit then maybe you should justify it...

although your point may be valid.. have you taken into consideration that mayb i've been working for the past year and a half and already have some money saved up??? have you ever thought that maybe getting paid $40 an hr for teaching piano doing a few hrs each week will allow me to save up that much...

im sorry for being so biatchy... it's just that.. i guess being told i'm full of **** and being told that something i have asked for people with help with... not made them oblidged but asked and only willing people need respond if desired.. being told that it's a complete waste of time....

fair enough i understand a 17yr old getting a gtr is a bit much for a lotta people to believe.. but hey why is it so impossible? nothing is impossible.. mayb inconcievable but not impossible...

once agains sorry for being so b*****

devlish angel, excuse the comments of some but most of us are talking generally and from our own experiences with insuring hi performance japanese imports.

Take into account that you virtually never hear of any 17 year old let alone a female buying a GTR for their first car. This is why most people you speak to will be skeptical.

Obviously if you can afford it then great, if you are paying for it buy the car, but if your parents are paying for it they are nuts, I know I wouldnt buy my daughter a car such as a GTR for someone with so little driving experience. Thats basic common sense. However if you must have one do yourself and every other motorist a favour and do some defensive driving courses before hitting the road in a GTR.

Best of luck

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
