Case closed.

1.jpg

case reopened.

actually to be realistic, being a 17 year old you shouldn't be buying any 2 door coupe, esp not an import. your insurance premium will be about 1/3rd the cost of the car.

maybe go for a secondhand Lexus IS250 or something?

wow man 35k.. my first car was... a hyundai accent ... and only recently upgraded to my n/a 34...

planning on upgrading later to evo 9 or 34 gt-r, was gonna mod my 34 now but id rather save.

n/a skylines arent bad for a first car though? i haven't driven alot of cars but for me its got a fair bit of torque .. looks nice too. n/a supra? i almost went for one of those. very nice cars.

with 35k you have ultimate choice on n/a cars pretty much mate :|

id save it up for later once your off your p's though.

*edit* alot of the n/a supras i saw in perth had been driven alot. dont think km's matter that much for a first car though, be a stinge and enjoy a much nicer car later on :)

Most ppl at 17 are coming off 2 wheels eh?

Now that ur just about grown up, it's hard to make a split decision over 4 wheels or a home!

$35K eh?

How about a GOLF brand of...

CARAVAN with bogey wheels !

Did you know that Tim, Richard and Jeremy just Luuuuuuuvv CARAVANS and what they can DO WITH THEM ! ! ! ? ? ? :)

35K man?

Yes! 350z's are for sale starting from high 20's now. So a cleaner one would be say low 30's and then sell the rims it come with and add some nice ones. Done.

case reopened.

A 350z is more sporty and more of a younger persons car than a G35 if you ask me. If he was 30y/o+ then maybe a G35.

Need to check if these cars are legal in your state though, because the 350z even though its an N/A is putting out some pretty decent power, which in Victoria is an issue as power/weight restrictions apply.

You're 17 and asking in another thread where to buy an R34 GTR?

Also pretty sure 350z is on the not allowed list in NSW for P platers.

As others have said. Buy a shitter... it's more fun anyway. You can jump it and whatnot... and it doesn't matter that much if you do too big of a jump!

looks like he is getting a R34.

LOL @ his replies.

Some good advice in here. I tried to get full comp on my r33 for a mate who is 21 and the cost through suncorp was about from memory $4500 per year. Very costly for a youngster.

See and not even a :teehee:

my first car was a coupe!

a ford laser KA 2 door `82 with the big block 1.5L

seriosly

$35k + gov grant of $14k

$49K to spend on (assuming) your first home.

get a family member to live in it for a year or two and give you just enough rent to cover mortgage and rates

then rent it out on the market for full rent price or have a bachellor pad at the age of 19

i wish i has $35k to spend on anything let alone a first car - somehow i dont believe you actually have this amount, however this is derrived by a quick squiz of bank propaganda with how much you currently earn and how much you can afford to pay back each week.

hey if you actually have $35k to spend then i'm very jelous and i hate you for it

but i also believe your nose has grown a few inches at the start of the post...

In all honesty, dont listen to people telling you what to get, get what you'd like, you want :D N/a skyline i reckon would suit nicely, and you posting on a skyline site makes me think you'd like that too :D

I just got my self an r33 gts for 10k, but ive been obsessed with r33's since i was 12 :) im now 17, and couldnt be happier :) get a 2 door :) they look way sexy.. but i do like r32 4 doors. but with you having 35k, you could probly get a really really nice r34 gt ;)

I was gunna save for a house deposit... but car came first :) but do what make you happy man, if you have the money, enjoy it, good luck to ya :)

why don't people stop being f**king lazy and do a bit of research of their own instead of thinking 'well hmm theres a skyline in FnF they must be good', and constantly asking forum members to decide for them.

Farken oath. HTFU and pick your own car instaed of waiting for someone to tell you what to do.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
