buy from a dealer if you want get ripped (most of the time)

you can A. IMport them from an importer (probably more info on them in the consolidated workshop thread id say)

B. buy it local - this means from papers, carsales, SAU forums, silviawa and other car forums are a good start.

C. Interstate - but probs too much hassle for ya.

if you dont know much about them, we rnt going to tell you about them, well im not going to.

go look type r34 skyline into google or s15 silvia into wikipedia and do some research.

Dealers will tend to sell at a higher price than private so be aware of that.

Search around in carsales.com, the classifieds, Auto Trader or here online to see if something is within reasonable travelling distance to where you live.

If it's local to you at least you can view the car and see what you're getting before you buy it.

If you're learning to drive manual buy an auto one. Its a big step up driving a manual performance car.

Look there are old ladies that drive manuals. It's not some refined skill to move a stick around in coordination with a pedal. Same way walking and chewing gum ain't that hard (assuming you don't drive a Commodore).

lol, do not make the mistake of buying an auto.

unless you plan on never ever getting your manual licence.

you will regret it eventually.

i wouldnt be doing L learners test in a performance car anyway.. learn how to drive in a hatchback corolla or something, or whatever ur instructors have.

the change from a manual car to a manual car is 0.

only the power. which you will learn how to control in about a week if that. (id say more a day of driving)

fair enough that theyre "less thrashed" but dont kid ur self, theyve all been thrashed at some point.

you will more or less eventually replace the thrashed parts if your serious.

but if you want to chagne ot manual, it will be sell and start again (sucks if you already started modding your auto)

or do a manual conversion, which is like another 2k ontop unless ur doing it yourself..
