Depending on how long you have left I'd hold off on getting a new car until your on your opens. 20k is too much for a 34GT especially if your going to sell it soon. May aswell save money in a shit car, save on insurance etc and then buy a really nice turbo model when you get off your ps.

The whole don't get a turbo when your young because you'll wrap it round a pole is bullshit. Its got nothing to do with age it depends on each person and how they treat their cars. If they have 0 respect for them and don't care about anything then theirs a good chance it will end up in the scrap yard. I got my first skyline when I was 18 and never had an accident in it. If your spending that much money on a car its a pretty decent incentive not to be an idiot.

Let us know wen the cops stop you from driving yout gtst. Its only a matter of time, coz you have at least 2 more years of trying to avoid the inevitable act of the cops pulling u over

Pfft...so you have a 3 year long bet against the police and making mistakes? Nice one. You don't have to drive like an idiot to end up in court mate, but judging by your attitude towards cars and driving I'm guessing you do...which serves a fantastic tour guide down the path of bankruptcy. Sometimes shit just happens and if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time you'll be regretting that 10 second timeslot for the rest of your life.

I don't understand why Vicroads don't cut out the boys in blue middlemen and stop people from registering these cars in their names, which might also make their voided insurance harder to obtain.

Just because you don't agree with a law (which btw is for your own protection), doesn't mean that you should flout it!

You laugh now - but you pay later!

And give your potential passengers a break - DON'T DRIVE THEM ANYWHERE !!!

Why not keep it safe and buy the non turbo, i have both of them and i'm on my P's too and i don't even drive the turbo skyline don't want to risk it. So there is not point of having it. But the non turbo skyline is not too bad

you reckon the supra had 164kw yeh? and the r34 gtt on redbook.com is 187kw, thats only a 23kw difference? i hear they actually tend to have a bit more than what they say, but still thats a bit mind blowing, lol anyway if i were you i wouldnt waste money on a n/a skyline, buy a shitbox hyundai excel or something, dont put rims, exhaust or neons or any gay shit on it (will be easier to sell and get more for it). own it till you get your full license then buy an r34 gtt, or scrape a couple more grand together and get an r33 GTR :P

1st. R34 GTT 206kw and 343nm it is.

2nd. If you drive a turbo car and kill someone it is man slaughter and no insurance

3rd. as Landscribble said buy a cheap car, e.g. commodore, magna etc. they are safe with airbags, cheap to insure and you can learn to drive better before you get

a fast car. No mater what your friends, family or police say you have just started to drive so you are not yeat a good driver, hence the licence rules.

Be safe and make the right choice, no forced induction and no car over 200kw (which is more then enough)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
