what is it with this whole anti p plate + skyline attitude?

not saying im a good driver or something...but I have had my skyline for 8 months and I havnt had trouble parking it, and anyone can lose a car in the wet, not just younger drivers.

Saying that, I havnt caused a dint in any of the 4 cars ive owned in the past 2 years.

Although, some younger drivers DO think they are the king of the road, and do have accidents, but please dont cast generalization on everyone

it depends on how you well you control the car.

People tends to buy skyline to do burn out and drive it fast.

get a non turbo one for the first car.

That's my suggestion :(

i had a dog and his name was BINGO!

its all up to the driver.

if your first car is slow you won't know as you are getting used to acceleration and the characteristics of an engine. give yourself time to learn and get confidence before you buy a powerful car.

i had an older supra, learnt in it, gave it a gool 'ol caining and spun it a couple of times, but never crashed.

now i'm almost 21 and have had the line for 6 months and i think i can drive responsibly and can handle the power - but not back then.

so in response to the thread i think an R31 non-turbo is a great first car allowing you to save for an r32gtst to get when you are ready...

just my 2c

yeh do knock all p platers just cause u were a bogan on ya p's, i got my skyline for my first car and nothing has happened to it at all. it all depends on the person, i got mates who i would never ever let near a turbo car or anything near fast because to put it frankly they really suck as drivers. but others are really mature so its up to each person.

saying that if u get a skyline for ya first car, u'll crash it and kill your self is a load to crap. you can kill yourself in anything its just easyer with a turbo. but its all up to the driver. wat people lack to understand is not everyone goes through the bogan p plater stage.

on an ending note - i believe what you first learn to drive with and drive the most really helps in the way u drive. alot of mates i know with shittie cars dont give a crap what they do to it so they just dont care. but the ones that drive there olds car for awhile or have there own nice cars that they had to work for ect. they repect it so much more and would be alot more carefull.

so in the end its up to the person u cant tell them what to do.

I got a r32 and im on red Ps and Its my first car too... had a few accidents but never anything big simply one of those learn ur lesson things which cost me money to fix and also i had my rear windscreen smashed by ****in bogans. If the driver is good and responsible its no problem to have a first car as a sports car. But there are people that will envy you and therefore you have to be careful (from my own experience) for your own sake as there are many stupid ****ers who will attempt anything to make themselves feel better.

he will kill himself... there is TOO much idiot young kid around, i meet alot of them at night with shit box doing 100, pass me and think they are faster than my skyline

i bought my 32 just befoe i tuned 18 now im 19 what can i say im still alive and havent had any crashes :P, so take it easy dont over generalise :) you sound like my local police officer when he pulls me over and asks wtf am i doing driving a skyline. its not the age its the maturity of the driver that maters

very true. so how much maturity does an 18 yr old have? i'm 25 and i have very little and looking back at when i was 18 makes me wonder how i never killed someone or myself...

Im 17 and about to buy an R32 Gtst, its only AUTO but im getting it converty to manual, i drove a 2002 subaru Liberty on ly Ls and untill now and never had a problem, Do you guys think i will be ok in the Gtst? also would u spend 2grand on getting it converted to manual or on mods?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
