LOL @ thread not being closed yet.

We should make a new section in this forum called "Do you want a supercar that costs the amount of a small country at the age of 15? Then please post here so we can bring you back to reality because the crack you are on must be really good."

:D

Its quite clear now that you have realised that you can not afford to own this car. That is good and it shows that you may have a grip on your priorities. Aside from the fact that you were unable to afford this car in reality its seems that you have $25,000 in the bank with which you can can make wise investments eg property(maybe keep saving for a while and take advantage of the cheap rent at the in laws). Congrats on actually saving something as most people these days seem to finance everything 100% with no deposit and a high interest rate(a lot of people on this forum probably owe more money on their car than it is worth). Make what seems to be the hard decision now and invest in your future not cars. With a bit of patience and a few wise decisions you may be able to afford that dream car in the 10 year plan(maybe earlier if your smart with your money). Be one of the smart people who has has a couple hundred thousand in equity in their property in a few years time and plan some more investments. This might all sound like a crock of shit to you right now but in a few years time you will be happy that you took some advice way back then. Do what most young people dont and go to a financial planner nad get some guidence on how to make it all happen, take the advice and put it into action and by the time your 25 you will have left most of your mates behind. Your on the right track just try not to get distracted along the way. What ever you do, make sure you dont finance any cars as its the worst decision most young people make.

once again someone gets shot down in flames for wanting to pursue a dream

man, you guys suck balls sometimes. kids got money saved, has worked his ass off for it and and wants to get his dream car.

at the age of 20 and to have 25K put away is pretty f*kn good if u ask me - how many of you guys had the same at that age? I'm older than that and still dont have anywhere that amount saved - and we all know that if any of us had that sum at 20 we'd feel like a millionaire.

It all comes down to sacrifice NGO - if you're willing to sacrifice things for a couple of years who's to say you can't get a loan, buy the car then pay the loan off in a couple of years? Agreed, it may not be the wisest decision according to some, but if you wanna put in the hard yards you could have it paid by the time you're 23-24 and still be able to make a start.

If you want it and its within reach, bust a nut or two and work to it. Even if it means mi-goreng breakfast lunch and tea, no going out, no drugs, partying, alcohol, spending 24hrs with the missus and her family....f*k bro...depends how bad you really want it!

Dont listen to these haters...they just wish they were in your position....

fiance

money

r34gtr

.....what does your mum do again?

lol j/k.

Point is...no regrets...you want it that bad....get it.

ur a genius. I was just trying to get one step ahead of my mates but now (thanks to everyone that has criticised me on this post) that doing it right now would be the worst decision i could possibly make, and i need to think about my future rather than looking good in front of my mates. And you're right. if i plan everything properly i mite still be able to get my dream car eventually. But i need to think about the things that are actually going to make a difference in my life rather than just buying the car i want. Thanks everyone for criticising my choice here. Its helped alot! And you're right i couldn't of said it better myself!

mate im 19 and have saved up a bit over $25gz and am still an apprentice. I wouldnt not for one second consider going out and buying an r34 gtr with the money i have busted my balls with to save up over the past 3 years. I think i have set myself a smarter goal by wanting to buy a house by the end of next year and not putting myself into dept with a car that by the time is payed off will be worth half of what i paid for it.

Not to mention that the guy has realised it was a stupid idea thinking that he would go out and buy himself an r34 gtr before buying a wiser investment and anyone who read this whole thread would have come to the same conclusion

btw this is directed to phantom32's reply

hey everyone, im looking at purchasing the almighty R34 GTR. I want it to be an absolute power house (however 206kw is heaps more than my current r32)..i want to know is it possible to get 1000kw? I atleast want to hit 800-900kw or have an even figure of 1000hp...or close to

Good luck.

good on you for saving up your cash. If you wanna go buy a house then yes, i would agree that it is the wiser option. Different strokes for different folks.

My point was - if you want something, work hard for it and get it.

No point looking back later in life and saying...'man i wish i.......'

You're only young once - you have your whole life ahead of you. Why not drive that nice sports car now as opposed to doing if when you're an old fart. How many of us look at old men in their porsches, with admiration but also thinking, he probably can't enjoy it half as much now than he would have 20 years ago?

Its just another point of view

i have been told time and time again by people i work with that are older than me and they have all told me the same thing. they all have spent all their money on cars and at the end of the day they said if they could do it again they would've bought a property instead

but everyone is different so its their own decision

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
