O K !!! I found it hard to save 15k for my 180sx after workin since I was 15.5!!! Anyway...

I would get an R34 GTR, check all the import magazines for prices. Going cheaper than before, but still expensive.

An r34 will blow the clothes of any chick without even requiring a stereo!

Good luck finding one, lucky bastard :stupid:

70 grand in the bank and you want to go buy a very expensive first car) Sounds like fun but is also a stupid idea to spend that amount of cash on your first car. If you get a 34, do it up and insure it, youll pretty much have nothing left! Think where you'll be in 5-10 years, wicked car now, king amongst your mates, but nothing left later.

Your most likely to crash your first car. Be smart and buy something nice but more sensible like an s13 or cheap R33, learn to drive it, and use the rest to buy a house/unit or something thats longterm sensible. Then youll be set!

Not many 18 yr olds have an R34, but even less own realestate!

Yeah i would prob get a GTT i love the GTR but i would prob kill it. And i would have no money. But unless u are still gonna have tons of money rollin in dont get a GTR or anythin too expensive just get somethin to learn in. That way if yo have an accident you wont be as pissed off

bak on the subject of power to weight rule in victoria, to me(and most skyline p platers) i dont even consider it a factor in chosing wat car to buy, if they threaten to take my licence ill move interstate :(, less revenue raising and i can drive a ferrari enzo if i chose to(or can afford it) lol

Yeah buy an s13 or r32-33 and play with that and hope you dont kill yourself. Put the rest on a unit and rent it out, if u can save 70k then u can afford to keep paying it off to im assuming, and then keep expanding :(. 1 vital point CARS DEPRECIATE, realestate in general doesnt.

just my 2c an what id do, but i dont have that kinda $$ so no investment for me just an r32.

whuts wrong with a 70k car, if you can afford it then go for it..but if you only have 70k to your name, then buy something cheaper (R34 GTT) or even and R33 and keep the rest to insure / run the car and also to invest elsewhere..

when you purchase a car for 70k, it doesnt end there, rego, insurance, fuell bills, servicing and things breaking on you add up quite fast...

that said, i was given 50k by my parents when i entered high school which was invested on my behalf and now at 20 i have some nice change hanging around. at 18 i possesed an apartment and several acres of land in my name which will only increase in value.

having said that, i only buy 2nd hand cars with my own money as all it does is depreciate and the R33 is no exception. in abt a month or so, im going to sell the 'Line and open up 2 shops one of which is a cafe, im always on the lookout for investments and hope you think carefully before spending your 70k

    • 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.
