Hey guys, I'm Serk, 15 hitting 16 quite soon. (NSW)

My plan is to buy a R32 GT-R, first car. Now I understand that rb25/6dett are stock fitted with twin turbos (tt, durr)

That's a problem, considering when I get my P's I won't be able to drive it.

Can I ask for an exception @ the RTA?

If I remove the turbo's, I will get a huge performance loss, will the car even move? (Re-tuned, right?)

Is there any possible way to hide the twin turbos or get an aftermarket turbo and somehow hide it? (Obviously removing PSI gauges, turbo timers etc..)

Now coming to the price of it. I've seen some R32 GT-R's around $15k~.

What's the best I can do to ensure myself a good car? What km's are considered okay?

Including rego+insurance+servicing, how much cash per year am I going to have to cough up?

As for upgrades, haha, I really want a T51-R. We all know that ain't gonna happen.

A little bit after I get my full license I would like to start buying upgrades.

If someone could give me a couple of options 400hp-450hp-500hp-600hp.

Cost + Management.

As for visuals, I nicely lowered bodykit (Carbon Fibre?) and guess what, it has to have a rear wing, I can't stand some nice cars that just don't have a wing.

Interior? Meh, leather? Bucket seats? Definitely plenty of gauges. Computer.

Sound? I have already built a nice box with my older brother sucking in around 500w which is on my amp>computer right now shaking the whole house.

Anything else I am missing?

Thanks guys, any suggestions are helpful!

another point for the "must be an active menber for a set amount of time before posting a topic" idea
Silly Q, but how can you be an active member if you can't post?

S3rk, there is a reason why you aren't permitted to drive a GT-R when you only have a probationary licence. Wait until you get a full licence - GT-Rs will still be around, you can get one then.

Hey guys, I'm Serk, 15...

My plan is to buy a R32 GT-R, 3rd car.

Thanks guys, any suggestions are helpful!

fixed!

Suggestions?

1) You've asked lots of Qs which is good - but I'd ask Qs that are much more basic like, "What would you buy as a P1 and with a budget of $xxxx?"

Follow 'blind_elk' and 'Sarumatix' advice.

2) Listen to your Mum and get back home before 11.59pm

3) Be patient and stay safe - go to advanced driving classes 1-2-3-Cams

+1 on that terry

also to clarify on the option of taking turbo's off because you are not able to drive, i know someone who did that cost them heaps of money, terrible reliability and had to change heaps of things, buy a cheap run around learn to drive save your money, and by the time you go to buy your gtr who knows probably gunna be cheaper that what they are now and you would have had 4 years to research and learn as much as you can about them on this forum :)

Thanks for your opinions guys, Looks like I'll stick to a shitbox for a bit until I get full license. (What age is that by the way?)

You're a good boy !! :) At least you can come to your senses, unlike some other kid that posted here that would not look into the reality and suffer the consequences. If you really want a skyline then perhaps you can get an R32-34 non turbo, won't be as fast as the GTR but still skylines and P-plate legal, but then again a shitbox is also a good option.

S3RK from KeyHunt?

Edit: You don't need to buy a shitbox mate. Look around at 4cyl cars, maybe get a prelude or something. Hondas have a bit of kick for them. They're FWD which sucks, but this isn't Tokyo Drift I guess.

I have a Hyundai Excel, it runs good, hit a truck and was rebuilt... still going. Costs me $40-rough a week in petrol, massive boot, cost me nothing. Keep your cars clean, service them and take care of them, any car will be a good car... you don't need to drive a trashed pulsar with ripped seats.

I'm going from my Excel to a skyline now I have two jobs and a girlfriend who doesn't make me pay for everything. Worth your wait, my friend.

Edit2: It's either 20 or 25, depending on when you get your license.

We're on our blacks at 20... but I don't think we can drive high performance cars till 25..? Someone want to correct me?

Yeah, S3RK from KeyHunt alright.

I just want something that will keep me going until I can start working on the Skyline.

Also, How do we go about getting Police Radar Detectors? xD, can we be fined for having them installed? (Just out of random curiosity).

Radar detection devices are illegal in Vic, I am unsure about other states. I can't imagine any state allowing them.

Then again there is the issue that most police use laser now (at least in Vic) :)

LOL s3rk.. you're a crazy kid. Why don't we ever speak any more?

Don't go down the illegal path, my friend. Get an iPhone/Android, download Trapster, get a car-mount for your phone and you're set.

You can get these devices WHICH ARE LEGAL that send out random readings to police officers speed guns, giving you roughly 3 seconds to adjust your speed. I'm going by my bosses words on that though.

Something that will keep you going? Grab a v-tec or non-turbo skyline.

I've gone from my Excel to an R33 skyline (which comes tomorrow actually). I'm going to drive that around happily, do a few mods, and when I get off my provisionals, straight to an R32 GTR maybe. ORRR I could buy an R33 GTR... because they're starting to grow on me.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      Blue slip

      By The Bogan · Posted

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
