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

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
