Registration In Act + P Plates + R34 Gtt

[Baconer]

chassis was bent, it was repairable but decided not to bother. Was going to sell for parts but decided to sell the whole thing in one go, didnt make as much but it got it out of the way.

What if i get a R34 25GT N/A. If i give it some mods like podfilter, extractors and catback exhaust how much extra HP would i get ? And would an auto box handle this. Also a stage 2 shift kit for the auto box will that be wise ? since i dont like the smooth shifting in normal auto but since R34 has tiptronic mode you can change at whatever revs you like ? Or does it still do annoying things like switching gears when you dont want, although automatic downshifts are nice.

[JewJitsu]

Hmm sweet!

The ACT imposes no restrictions on the type of car that may be driven by a P plater -- P platers can even participate in an optional Road Ready provisional licence "P off" course that allows proven responsible drivers to remove P plates within six months of gaining a licence.

Guess ill be getting that GTT after all.

Btw how much extra fuel would the turbo car eat compared to N/A say if you are driving like a normal granny and not hitting too much revs / throttle.

[Baconer]

turbo car when off boost uses less fuel then N/A. Scientific reason i can't be bothered typing when im already 5 minutes late for work

Google it

Yeah i read that before but is it hard to not hit the boost especially if its auto ?

Why you getting a Auto? I guess manual 34's are hard to find and they always want more money.

Yeah by the looks of things and what ive heard the manuals are usually more expensive, more K's and usually been more thrashed. And nothing better than using the tiptronic and sticking a stage 2 shift kit for harder and faster shifts on it because i think the tiptronics dont instantly change gears they think before the right time comes and switch then which can be a few seconds. Manual would be nice though so im learning manual for my P's now so just in case the time to buy one comes if a nice manual is available i can go for it, but is it 1 year before they give you choice of removing the auto restriction from your p plates.

AWW ok i didn't know you guys have a Auto restriction for your P plates, that's interesting and would really suck i love my manual auto's get so boring after a while, i get why though with some of the people around the Sunshine Coast can't wait to get to ACT going to be different and hopefully better and much colder!

You can get a manual right after you get your P plates, but the car you used when passing your P's test has to be manual.

dude throw that 18k into a managed fund....i got a n/a r34....i love it!! but im spending too much money on it for mods and all. oyu can say youll keep it stock ALL YOU WANT, but it wont happen haha. throw it into a managed trust fund or high interest savings account....id personally get some govt bonds....and watch your money ggggrrrrRRROWWW.

well..

n/a r34 now.....or r34 gt-r in a few years time?

take your pick.

[INVRTD]

yeah as hard as it is to say, shanil is right, i wish i had put my cash into shares or something first, now i have all these good contacts to invest with and no money to do it, even just put the cash away until you have your full liscence, hindsight is a wonderful thing, just remember at the end of the day it is your choice and im sure everyone will help either way you go.(yes i know thats not want you to hear, i was in the same position 6 months ago, lol)

zac trust me its colder all right, exspecially the drill practice from 7 to 8 this morning, the rain was a nice additive too, lol, why you moving sown mate

[SHANE666]

thanks alex,

share market is down in the red zone at the moment....that means two things....possibly it cant go down any further ... AND ... stocks and managed are great 'value' at the moment. I' throw my 18k into a bank account or some investment venture.

i've got an r34 n/a....as much as you mod it up, it doesnt present that thrill that a turbo does. you're looking at about 4-5k on top to get it to 140rwkw i rekn.

Yeah ill get a GTT. And dammit stop making me not get a skyline or ill be driving a starlet or a 3cylinder for 5 years. And if i did get the GTT the mods i would get would be 18-19" rims i wonder how much these cost ->

thats evo cams car i found in the photo section.

and ofcourse some awesome soundsystem with a few speakers, subs, amp and thats probably the furthest ill go o and exhaust. Then maybe extractors, bigger front pipes hmm maybe podfilter and boost controller a ECU, pro tires etc.

But nah ill stop at the exhaust.

And currently my cash is in a high interest account and last month i got 38$ from interest for nothing, kinda good. If i have 18k in there it would be ~100$ a month from nothing, and if i keep working ill have 40k before i finnish uni then can move out . But if i get a car that will be like 5k at the end but would be worth it.

[TiTAN]

The wheels on that car are worth about $3500. you will have to factor in ~$50-100 per week for fuel depending on how much you drive it or how hard.

[SHANE666]

lol thats cool dude,

post up pics when you buy it...

yeah good wheels are expensive...

98 octane is 170 near my place now...so factor in 100 bucks+ a tank for refuelling.

[CeJay]

You've got to decide what you want to do, but your going to pay through the nose with insurance, even if it's only third party. Be a shame to write off the car and get nothing.

Plus petrol as people have said, at one stage I was doing 20-25,000 odd k's are year in the skyline and it was costing me around 370$ a month in petrol. Would be over 400$ or so now if I was still driving it all the time(driving less now). So need to keep all that in mind.

just buy what ever you want and catch a bus its easier and cheaper and your precious line will be safe and sound all week until you let it out on the weekends

I couldnt handle driving another auto ever again, not cool. N/A is even less cool

But do consider your future ie house etc before you buy :S

I catch a frickin bus and it smells. 1.5hours + to get home from work and thats only ~19km away but using just as a weekend car is good since i work on sat and sun and the buses is shit and gotta cut my hours down.

Auto's are nice though I heard just get a 2nd stage shift kit on the tiptronic r34 and its all good to go but a manual is harder to find.

I calculated that 3rd party + rego (the human damaging 3rd party) is like 600$ and 3rd party property damage is an extra 480$~ per year. Not too bad. Just 3 weeks of work.

Fuel is a bitch so if i drive ~40km a day 7 days a week (usually never peak hour) it will be like 280km a week and i hope to drive like a grandma apart from the occasional road rage that happens.

And would it be possible to get those rims in second hand cause they looks heap sweet.

Bye
