exemption for a worked 33 haha, good luck mate....the only real exemption out there for p platers and high performance cars is for tradeys in their xr6 turbos n xr8's for towing purposes.

[NISMØ]

Lol the stages in my 1st post explain what ill have on m P's and that just like exhaust, BoV, cooler and not very noticeable stuff. I know I probly wont get the exemption but I got plans if I dont. Ill atleast try lol but your probly right.

Ive never understood this "i'll just go for basic not noticeable mods and hope not to get caught" attitude. Have you stop and thought about if you were to have an accident and more importantly if you were to hit someone that you ARE NOT insured at all. You are driving a car that you SHOULD NOT be driving. Imagine being up for a $400,000 medical bill becasue you hit some bloke on the footpath. EEP!!! Getting caught by the authorities is the least of your worries!

From personal experience if i had owned my GTR when I was a teenager i dare say I wouldnt have been here today. Driving dads falcon around i sit and think back about the mischief I got up to.

I appologise if i trud on some toes, but its only the fact's.

[NYTSKY]

If that is your end goal for the car this is what i suggest.

Buy yourself a 1.5L run about for daily driving.

Keep the Skyline in the garage and slowly build it up to the point where you want it. There is no need to go through steps 1,2,3 to get to step 4.

Do step 4 and thats it! Trust me if i knew my car was going to get to the stage its at now i would have done things very differently.

Save yourself time and money and do it once and properly otherwise you will spend 10 times more than you expected.

END THREAD

[NISMØ]

Piggaz its abit slack to think of every young kid as a hoon but I see where your coming from oh and Nytsky i read your engine build thread and your info Is good cuz your right I probly will save alot of money, Ill just have to wait and see how things turn out =)

i think you need to do a bit more research matey...

for a start you have a bov listed as a mod, not a wank

secondly your gonna buy an emanage, THEN a haltech?

you also wanna spring for a 6boost mani and then have cheapass chinese exhaust?

also you'll need

a bigger afm,

suspension setup (coilovers, camber, castor, sways, pineapples minimum)

wider wheels

tyres tyres tyres tyres

with that much power you're also gonna want oil restrictors and custom returns in the head, a baffled sump and an oil cooler

bucket seats to hold you in place (350rwkw @ 1.35 tonnes is a LOT of power)

money for repair bills, tuning, etc etc etc

that's an extra 10k i just found in a 30 second think...

my advice...

buy a 92 corolla gt and get the 4age head conversion, extractors, zorst, pod etc and have fun with that.

then when you are off your p's see where your life is at (not to mention petrol prices) in 2014 and if you still wanna do it

END THREAD

Oh ye end thread because he is dead going from 140rwkw to 350rwkw in a blink of an eye without any idea how to drive a high powered vehicle.

Going in stages costs more, but at least it wont cost you your own life because you've learn the car as it goes.

To the OP - are you from Vic?

If so, throw that plan in the bin and RB26 if you want power without the hassle, the only way as legalities are getting worse by the week here.

Or honestly - spend the $$ on a XR6 turbo. They are cheap now, and a much better base in all honesty

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

JUDAS!

no its a bit naive of you to think that i a high powered rear drive car you will not push the boundaries and limits of yourself and car.

starting to learn to drive in a high performance car in itself isnt a good idea for this fact. hence why they have brought in this ruling for P plater drivers.

as many ppl have suggested get a little run around and learn to drive first. then get a good car and start modifying.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i would have definately killed myself or at LEAST written the car off if i had my current car when i was 18

[R31Nismoid]

JUDAS!

Judas? Oh pipe down you wanna be Moses. Im still holding onto my GTS-R, judas my a$$

Think when he is 19-20 what a XR6 is worth, peanuts just like R33's are now.

Better base, bigger/better tech motor and they rack out 400rwkw without a sniff.

If your after a mean streeter and so on then its a pretty clear choice.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you'd wanna hold on to it... it can't be too far from being classed as "vintage"

i know you can juice power out of an xr6t easily, but how do they handle with some suspension mods?

[W0rp3D]

Here is what will happen:

Best case scenario:

You get a skyline you do all the first stage mods, most of which will get you more attention from the cops, especially the P plates, you get done for unroadworthy and driving a high powered vechile, you then have to sell it at a loss and buy a cheap shitter.

Worst case scenario:

your showing of in front of you mates (dont even try to tell me it wont happen bbbbaaaaahhhh, i told you not to say it) and lose control, at best you hit something soft and just damage the car, at worst you kill someone, either way the cops turn up and you are either fined and lose your license or your sharing a cell with bubba (to prepare you for that go watch "bad boy bubby").

The way it should be done:

You buy a $2000 cheap to run shitter, you put all the money you would have spent in an account with a good interest rate, in 6 years time when your 21 you will have the 40k you plan to spend buying an r33gtst and modding it plus the compounded interest, should add up to about 50k maybe more, you then buy your self a R35 gtr which by that time the private imports will probably be 70-80k, badda bing badda boom you have a car worth spending money on.
