Hi,

Just wondering what would be the best Model, and Specs for a p plate driver, that would be affordable insurance wise.

willing to spend 7000-10000 I like r32's and r33's, would non turbo with no mods be affordable even possible for a P late driver to get insured?

hey mate being a p plater myself and having a 34 it really depends on what you like i myself imported from japan and i found that to work out the best for me.

but you just gottta find the right option for yourself. heres some pointers.

1. 32's NA are harder to find thats if your looking for a good one

2. 33's on the other hand are pretty much everywhere but most have been thrashed to no tommorrow and you will want to have a really good look at any you inspect.

3.both range from about 4000 up so well within the price range.

4. insurance really depends on your driving record. i.e. speeding fines, suspensions, accidents etc. you will probs be up for anywhere from 2500 up.

5.mods for both are quite cheap and in excess so no worries there.

6. also to find one in stock condition you will always pay more.

7. it really depends also how you want to do it up. and what styles your into. eg. if your into jdm, or low end rice spec then either is fine.. but if your one for sex spec (NOT ME) then a 33 is prob the way to go

finally when you do make a decision, post up and get some feedback before buying.

GOOD LUCK

Mate,

My advice would be if you really want a skyline is to get a good condition one and leave it alone no mods. Wait till you get your full licenses and then go buy a Turbo skyline. No offense to anyone on this forum but NA skylines are just a waste of time to modify. Also you are a P plate the second you start doing things like that your insurance will sky rocket.

Don't forget a skyline is a cop magnet and you being a P plate makes it worst. I had a friend which was driving a Subaru RX and it was non turbo because he was on his Ps. The cops pulled him over and said that he had a turbo in his car which he didn't. The cops said it because he modded the engine.

It just makes it chaos especially if you start modding. Stock is the best way to tell the cops to shove it up their back side hahaha!!!

Once you get you fulls get a turbo and go modding crazy. Your choice at the end its your car.

:) :) :merli: :merli:

That would be my advice.

cheers guys,

yeah i like r33's, ive know a guy who is a experienced machanic and will check any car out for me.

should work out well, just been getting online quotes for early non turbo 90's R33's around $2500, with no mods. I just want a nice sound system anyway while im on my p's

i dont want the cops constantly pulling me over.

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
