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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
