Guys Im a green P plater. I just got few questions to ask and some opinions.

Is it worth getting a R34 25GT for around $12-$15k while thats the only car can be driven by P platers cuz its 114Kw

However I the R34 GT-T cost $15k but its not allowed for P platers to drive. Tell me your opinions which one should I get?

on P's pretty damn straight forward! non-turbo for p's.

thats the law, end of the day, do what you want, just dont come back with another thread saying ' im on my p's and got done for driving a turbo skyline... help?'

read the Vicroads law's, P plater rules, and work it out from there.

it depends how much you like skylines. when i was on my p's i had a N/A r34 then when i got off my p's i sold it and bought a r34 gtt, that im thinking of selling now lol.

lol i love skylines...I was thinking bout Andrews suggestion...get a cheap car for 3 years. Sell it off and get myself a GT-T , cant afford GT-R yet. Bloody $40-50k mate

you wont want an NA skyline, go for an NA s13 manual with an SR engine: 105kw and around 1100-1200kgs. plus, far cheaper thus you can save up for a skyline when off your p's. maybe get a R32 GTR.

Hey Mate,

At the end of the day it all comes down to how long you will be stuck on your P's for.... if you JUST got on your Green's you will have to wait 2 years to drive a turbo.. no point buying a turbo

In my opinion... dont even buy a NA skyline.... get a bomb to run you around like a corolla,swift? Then save save save and buy your turbo skyline when you are on your full's

As mentioned above, its best to just buy a cheap daily driver (corolla, civic etc) and wait until you are off your Ps.

That way you will save more money by the time you are off Your Ps and buy the skyline/GTR you want (trust me i did the extact same thing). Not to mention how much you'll save on insurance :(

As above.

I drove an N16 pulsar for 3 years because even with power to weight on my side i couldnt get a Skyline. I had the option of borrowing and buying an S15 Silvia Spec R (turbo). Chose to wait with my old girl till i was 21 cuz id only end up buying a Skyline instead.

Couple months after i got my full licence i bought my first Skyline - my GTR :D

R34 GT-V IMO... pretty sure it is pretty much the same to a GT-T, minus the turbo... so even if you spend money on suspension, exterior/interior etc, once off your p's, make it turbo with the turbo brakes/stud already there

what about this guys? Good idea?

The R34 25GT is 147kw not 114kw as it has the 2.5l

The R34 GT has the 2.0l which is 114kw and cannot be imported into australia due to power to weight rules.

To be honest, i don't know too much about how it works.

All i know is that cars which get imported into Australia need to have a minimum power to weight ratio to be eligible for importation.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
