woops it was a typo, ment to say "its my problem" so it has nothing to do with him, you only live once, its like saying "omg i better not eat maccas because il become an unhealthy fat person even thou it tastes so good" you only live once just because somthing might effect you in the long run doesnt mean you have to avoid it...i want a turbo skyline now and im going to get one...and obviously im not going to be a dick head on the road..atleast until i turn 21...but in the end what i do is my choice not yours..but once again thankyou too for your concern...so very much appreciated..(in one ear our the other) but atleast you can get your post count up i guess.

lol so true man

i could buy a boring ass R33 GTS for my P's

or i could buy myself a 73 260Z, slowly restore it myself while i cruise around in my dads car and then throw in an SR20DET.

front mid engined jap classic.

sure it will cost abit but how often do you get to drive around in a car that some people dont even know of?

Im in no way having a dig, full comp insurance is a pure waste of money. Because if you have an accident, you wont be covered. Trust me i know, the $2400 a year i use to pay for full comp, had an accident whilst driving unlicenced. Couldnt claim a thing, i think i salvaged about 7k back in parts. Bit shy of the 20k worth of car. Makes u grow up and learn pretty damn fast mind u. Learn from my mistake its not worth it.

Either way you will just do what u like anyways just as i did at that age :) good luck with it tho.

trust me i know i wont be covered even if i get full comp..but only reason im getting it is because my dad wont let me get the gts-t if i dont have full comp...but he doesnt know that i cant drive the gts-t so gotta keep him happy, if i told him i cant drive the r33 coz im power to weight ratio i wouldnt be gettin it... but what can i say im stuborn. mines $2700, coz i lost my license when i was 18 otherwise it would be $2100 for me

1 point is enough.

I've not lost a single point for 7years and owned many a high performance car.

If you keep driving the way you did to lose the points before you had just the 1 left , you are rooted. You seem to have lost them in an NA so that doesn't help your image here mate, you must have been driving like a retard.

Best of luck.

honestly i was driving like an idiot back in the day...just turbing 18 all excited n shit..but now ive actually settled down and am all over that speeding shit..i pretty much drive like a granny now, besides i get my points back sept.

Let me get this straight...you're paying $2700 a year for insurance that isn't going to cover you? Just to keep your father happy?

How did you get through your licence test? Did you go to school?

You should be in jail MUZT3K. That's not a joke, I'd honestly feel a bit safer knowing you were in jail.

Selfish, ignorant...fark there's no words for it really. I'm shocked that there are some people supporting this...but glad to see that most don't. Listen to Newy's words, I bet he too thought it wouldn't happen to him. He got off very lightly too...very lightly considering what can happen. Don't need to drive like an idiot for shit to hit the fan, it happens to innocent people everyday.

F*** concern over you. I could care less about you MUZT3K. I feel sorry for the poor bastard who has to drag your ass to court and deal with $10 a week from your bankrupt ass.

thanks for the positive comments guys, cant wait will be picking it up start of next week...and the following saturday going to put a turbo timer and boost gauge apart from that im going to keep it stock till april..not even going to change the air filter till then thats how stock its gunna be lol.

peshays, you from nsw? laws are the same there? ever gotten pulled up?

yeh im from NSW, never gotten pulled over, been driving past highway patrols, RBTs, street coppers driving behind me.

my car is running 235kw at 15 psi at the moment so theres a bit of power

enough of the bashing. he knows the risk.

i played it safe and got NA

if he can do it and get away with it lucky, if he doesn't get away with it he knows his got himself to blame.

either way no need to bash him for it, his bought the car, his made his mind up.

im just going to zone out from all the retards talking shit coz honestly i couldnt give a f**k what they say. im just happy im getting a r33 gts-t and thats whats this threads about so all you haters f**k off. kthxbye.

congrats on getting the car, but i have to side with a lot of people in this thread. it is people like you who are the reason why hooning laws are getting worse. you have lost points before, and i can garantee that once you get the gts-t you will lose more. it's very easy to say you are over driving silly, but i can garantee that once you have the car for a few days you will be hooning again. and even if you don't if you get pulled over for a rbt while driving it and get booked for driving a restricted vehicle then there goes your 1 point. all it takes is the slightest little thing and you will be walking. i understand that you have accepted that it is your problem and you are the one dealing with the consequences, but i don't think you really have. have you really considered what will happen if you hit a 50 or $60k car and it is a write off and your insurance doesn't pay up? just expect a lot of "i told you so" if you get booked or crash.

yes i understand i appreciate your advice, but in the end it comes down to badluck, its just like saying oh shit...you bought a house in the bushes knowing that there is a risk of your house getting burnt down in the bush fire season and you wont get all the money back for the house...but people still choose to live there. life is all about taking risks and im taking it.

so from this line and under no more talk about insurance because im aware of it and no more flaming unless you want an enemy and im saying it in a nice way thankyou.

This thread reeks of peanuts!

So you're buying a faster car to satiate your "granny driving" requirements? Guaranteed you'll be driving it like a cock in no time at all....Nah, you wont be tempted, not you...never.

Good luck..... whatever that is.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
