Have you considered, I don't know, checking the web site of the government department that looks after licensing?

This is not what SAU looks like.

If you can't work out how to Google an answer to what cars you can't buy and what options you don't have, then maybe you shouldn't have a car with "power". There's a reason why they don't want certain people driving certain cars, and from what I've read of your posts so far you're it.

Get a honda, say a prelude VTi-R. You could most likely find one for under 10 grand but in my honest opinion, get a working, reliable car with that 10 grand and wait until you get off your p's and then get any car you want. Everyone else has waited, I'm sure you can too.

Good choice! If UR in Sydney (but it looks like it could be Melb), you can have a try of my VTiR 4th Gen (although it ain't 4 sale). They're going for about $8500 now; + or -.

Great Car

Great sound when V-Tec hits

Great cornering with 4WS

Hard to find

Hard to break

Hey guys ,

IM JUST ABOUT TO SELL MY R33 SKYLINE.

ITS A BLACK 1995 NON-TURBO COUPE WITH A FEW EXTRAS

so have a budget of 10k and on p-plates.

if your in to skylines you could consider the following.

R31 skyline- Aussie built RB30E has pertental and a grate car for a newby driver IMO.

R32 skyline non turbo- RB25DE bloody hard to find or put a RB30E in it.

R33 skyline non tubro- i dont know much about them

R34 skyline non turbo- may be out of your price range by a few k but still a great car

i know most about the 31 since i owned one for 4 year.

avg price 2-4k for a decent stock example about 5-6k for a moded one.

has a 3L eng and can easerly get some decent power (i had 120rwkw after apx $3000 spent of performance mods in n/a form after a stock 70rwkw).

can find manuals

heaps of performance parts avalerble.

then you would have any n/a 4cyl car or 6cyl car

i.e

corrola

falcon

best bet jump on carsales do a search with your buget for all n/a cars with a max CC of 3500 (3.5L) i think thats the biggest you can go.

this will then give you a list of all current cars that are up to your buget that are non turbo/supercharged and have aeng capacity no bigger then 3.5L

hope this helps

The only problem with buying non turbo 32/33/34's, is that they're a tad on the gutless side. (no offence to the non-turbo boys, I'm sure you've all got your reasons why you own one.)

The kid next to you in the SSS or civic or integra will hand your ass back to you in a second.

A good P plate friendly car list whilst having some enjoyment while driving:

R31 if you like a RWD basher

Pulsar SSS

Integra Type R or Civic Type R

VTiR Prelude

MX-5

Set them up to handle.

Someone close this thread. This topic has been done to death

Keymaker, I would prefer to drive a gutless skyline than a r31 or mx5 i would prefer to walk

Like I said dude:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
