i get my Ps in march and my parents have gave me 15000 to spend on a car but don't know what to get . i need something an alright sized boot and not to expensive to run and maintain

vz commy wagon , huge boot, and if you been drinking just crash in the back..

fuel bills are ok if you drive it normally, drive it like a hoon and there not real good

Mate save your 15K until you are off your P's ( I know it sounds painful ) and then go splurge on an R33 GTST

lol a 33? By then a 34 should be within his price range unless for some reason car value depreciation just completely stops.

15k why are they giving you so much for a first car i reckon everyone should have to drive a shitter as a first car it's mad fun don't have to care about it :)

Yeah true that, and theres nothing better than shitter races at the lights, neither of em can break the speed limit and feels so good when you beat a better car in your shitbox, but its more fun racing other shitters..Its like real racing in slow motion......My first car was a 120y. got it for a slab of VB...

for a start I reckon Honda intergra and civic with Vtec engine will be quite a good choice.

After you had got used to front wheel drive, then you might want to try RWD.

lol he says he needs a decent boot, must be a drummer or something i guess.

Just get a tight ass $2000-$3000 something, it will get scratched in parking lots taken off road for one reason or another, then afterwards get something decent. for the near future you'll probably have drunk mates riding in it at some time spilling crap all over the car, being douchebags in there, having a lady friend or 2 dirtying up the car :) (well thats how the first year or 2 was like in my car).then later on get something smaller and sportier when you get sick of being the dezzy driver or sick of the herpes clinic jkz)

Up to you depends what you are expecting out of the car? What are you going to use it for?

The teenager with a working class background in me says "get something cheap, you spoilt brat with rich parents". The father in me says "get something fairly new, safe and economical, you lucky boy to have parents who care enough and have the means to buy you something decent".

Don't get a powerful car, but, likewise don't get something that doesn't steer or brake very well as they can be death traps too.

Why do you need a big boot? If you don't need the space that often, maybe you're better off getting something smaller and a cheap trailer, roof racks or a pod.

240 VOLVO WAGON!

Massive boot.

Safer than a tank.

Get a shitter at first.

Stick the rest of the money in a high intrest savings account.

And hopefully in a couple of years you might see another 15 odd grand again.

Then, if you still need a big boot, Stagea.

I wouldn't spend 15k on your first car. Spend maybe 5k max and save the rest for your next car, just buy a cheap commo wagon or twin cam corolla, something cheap and realiable.

But if you really wanna spend the 15k get a ae86 or maybe a type r integra, you'd be surprised at how big the boot on a ae86 is. Much fun can be had in a ae86 trust me.

i dont see the point in getting a car worth 15k for a first car.

being a noob and all your most likely going to ding it,

I advise buying something for around 4-5k which is still plently imo for a decent p plater car. I had a r31 on P's...cheap as f**k and never missed a beat.

It really comes down to a lot more than just, needing a boot and being cheap to run...

There are so many factors that you haven't listed that we all know are necessary to think about.

Do u want it to feel fast at all?

Rear, AWD or Front wheel drive?

Are u going to use it for work?

Planning on putting cheap petrol or willing to put in 95+?

4 door? Coupe? is it JUST the boot u need to be big?

Those are just some of the questions that first jump to mind, there are HUNDREDS more...

My suggestions would be:

Sporty, low maintenance, S13 Silvia

Though insurance could be a little expensive, but it seems like those are minuscule costs based on spending $15,000

I am 17, so I don't have as much experience as many of the other people here, so don't take my word as best advice.

Buy something cheap, manual , low maintenance and learn how to drive better from there. You dont wanna have learning accidents in a 15 grand car.

I'd get an NA silvia or an old supra if u still wanna go for a sporty car

i get my Ps in march and my parents have gave me 15000 to spend on a car but don't know what to get . i need something an alright sized boot and not to expensive to run and maintain

i had a 2003 corolla sportivo, 141kw, very reliable and economical, reasonably quick for a 1.8, I think they go for around 15k now or less for an 03/04 model, the rear seats can be folded down

for a fairly large rear storage area.

i'm also pretty sure they p plate friendly.

good luck with the purchase

as i have said in pretty much every thread on this topic, N15 SSS. fast (enough), reliable, handles well, runs cheap. and will also cost you well under 15k for a tidy one.

or what doozooby said above, but good luck finding one for 15k, LOL

LOL!

I never got a penny off my parents for a new machine!

Go save up for an R34 GTT, in the mean-time just get a boxy-econo machine until then :woot:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
