^ Agreed. My bro in law has a dc2 with spoon internals and pfc intake exhaust. Goes bloody hard for a 1.8 - wheel spins in 2nd gear without even dumping it into gear. Only problem is alot of kids crash them to that beloved torque steer and understeer issue. SR20's are a nice start though - good strong solid motor and reliable.

+2 my brother had one, lightly modified and it dead set defy's gravity.....

I think EVO or CAR magazine called it "the best handling front wheel drive car in the world" now thats a HUGE call to make and they still stand by it.

Maybe consider the now obsolete Celica, its a 1.8 too, same power as Type R but was a bit heavier and not as good suspension, will still rev its tits off.......

... not too sure if you recall back in 2004 when a "P" plate driver got into his dads blue R34 GTR when his dad was overseas ... took his mate & his pregnant girlfriend for a spin down the street ... he managed to tear the entire car into 2 pieces ... which youd think would be quite difficult ... though very easy when you mix inexperience with big power ... they all died ... sadly ...

... amazing what you find in the cupboard ... :D ...

... journalists AMAZE me ... "he wasnt allowed to drive it" !!!?? ... clearly ! ... he must have picked it up & tore it in half with his bare hands ... what a very sad & pointless waste of 3 young lives ... just in case some people havnt seen this before ... the lesson is DONT allow your young sons & daughters to drive your high performance car when you head out or overseas & more importantly DONT leave the keys to it in the fruit bowl on the kitchen table ... :P ...

Looks like a new mines datsun man in the making. 350 gt's are probably a bit pricey for someone of that age unless he is loaded. Get a S2 Rx7 with a 13b peripheral port.

Malcolm...a Micra?

I am sorry but no amount of exhausts or suspension can make this a cool car.

... hahah ... :D ...

EVLR34 R.I.P.

I skim read this thread but:

Just drive a corolla or a non-turbo whatever until you're off your P's. Ignorant people like you got us into this predicament in the first place. Doesn't matter how much Gran Turismo 4 you played, real driving is massively dangerous because

1. you're just starting to drive on the road. Don't care if you're a pro racer, driving on the road is a whole different ball game. The dangers are: other people, shitty roads, things moving across the roads

2. Big power + no experience = death. Most of us have the respect of powerful cars because we experienced it as we drove on the roads. Best way is to start off with a "granny" car, then work you way up over the years.

Sorry to sound harsh, but you can't simply say "I wanna drive a turbo without losing my license". If you like modifying, start off with a good base and do suspension/brakes/etc then save up and eventually do a turbo/engine change. Or find something nice and economical, then save up until you get off your P's then buy a turbo car.

From personal experience, red P's is the most dangerous time for any motorist. You learn not to be silly on the roads and take care/develop judgemental skills. You also realise how shitty the drivers on the roads are. Pass through that part of your driving life, get off your P's so you don't get hassled, then enjoy what Nissan has to offer.

BTW you don't have to miss out on modifying cars while on your P's. I got an R31 Skyline (yeah laugh), cheap as ($1k with 11 months rego). Started doing suspension/brakes/wheels+tyres while on my P's, then dropped a cam in early this year to allow it to make a tad more power. Did two track days at Oran Park (loved it, also destroyed front brakes).

Moral of the story? You can have fun, do what you love, while still being within the law.

*edit*

Frak I just made this post for a fkn school kid ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

P platers can't drive vehicles with "Modifications that increase engine performance" Not that this stops them lol

It's been changed now to "modifications that require an engineering certificate". I can't remember if aftermarket exhausts need a cert or if they can be self-certified.

Anyway, to the OP, suck it up and learn to drive in a NA before getting a turbocharged car.

Nope, sorry it has not been changed.

I took my quote directly from the RTA website. One could argue that an institution as efficient as the RTA may or may not update there site that often though :D

My suggestion to the original poster... if you want a cheap and fast car look towards a MR2 or MX-5. With some suspension upgrades these cars absolutely fly, not to mention they won't need the strict maintenance schedule a turbo car should have :)

Hey mate, wait its not worth the hassle getting caught!

Last year on my greens got pulled over for RBT driving the gtst...

7 demerit points

3 months suspension

400$ was not to sure what the fine was for I think pod filter ? + driving prohibited vehicle

public transport was a bitch for those 3 months... plus you have to wait 3 whole months more before you can get your full license...

I've been on my fulls since last aug haven't been pulled over or stopped once...

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
