Listen to the ladies above.

Get 25GT, drive it around for 4 years. When you're off P's, buy GTR.

Man, P platers back in these days were awesome, driving around in turbos, these days are long gone.

get the bmw, and keep it till your off your p´s, you will get pulled over and you will get fined on your p´s unless you get some ultra rare exemption to drive an r34 gtr, drive around with no p´s and get double fines and 3 points each time, you would have lost your lisence within a couple of months and wont be able to drive the car anyway, take the 1 point option and you will possibly lose it for 6 months, dont forget about insurance premiums rising if youve lost your licence... not only that but when i was under 25, my insurance premium on my skyline was $4000 on a $25000 car, (never lost my licence or had an accident but they didnt care ) id love to see what it would been for an r34 gtr... but if youve got your parents funding the majority of your product, go for it, they dont care, so why should you.

this is my plan.

2 years with a bmw 330ci, simple mods: lower, exhaust, rims/tyres, etc.

after those 2 years, sell the bmw, and get a R34 GTR V Spec.

sorry but i'm not waiting 4 years to get a twin turbo. LOL. just drive without my P's.

Cannot wait until something goes wrong with the 330 and you can't afford to repair it because you bought a car outside your means. Ferrari capital, Ferrari ongoing. If it took you years of hard work to save that up then why would you buy a car that someone on your wage can't afford to upkeep. Also cannot wait until you hit an expensive car and insurance tell you to get f**ked. Then you'll be waiting 4 years for an N/A.

^thats right^

a freinds clutch plate dropped out of his semi automatic 2000 alfa romeo, 3500 grand later, he sold the car, another funny story, a mate wanted to spend the 90000 profit he made on a house to buy a porsche, the thing was raping him with even the smallest little thing costing a fortune, it wasnt till his rear badge got stolen, and he rang porsche, $600 for the badge was the last straw... sold

unless you can really afford it, stay away from anything european, but iv given up after reading everything and and its the same old story, when your that age, nothing matters, not even your parents telling you to stay in school in some cases, i think its time to learn the hard way buddy, but it all comes down to the funds, if your family has money, there will be nothing hard about it, and most importantly, nothing learnt.

but nobody else knows but you, you literally busted your ass to save 30.000 to get your car, or you worked hard on the weekends and for being such a good hard worker your getting a little help. but it seems that from what im reading, the expenses of a european car dont bother you because youll just get a little more help. but if i am wrong and you will be funding everything with a medium income, dont spend anywhere near your maximum budget, youl crucify yourself.

so ill give you my opinion one last time, i dont beleive it is a good idea to buy a 30000 bmw, but if your family can afford it. get whatever you want...

I'm interested in knowing if the death toll has dropped since implementing this law.

Pretty sure it hasn't dropped to a level the government want us to know.

But they had 'fudged' the statistics regarding crime, wouldn't surprise me if they have 'tweaking' the amount of road toll.

Summarize this ----

You come from a rich family? Buy a BMW. Yeh it will be your baby, but we all know that as soon as servicing or repairs pop up you'll get mum or dad to help out. BMW and merc are the two most expensive euro cars, followed by Audi and then Vw being somewhat reasonable.

You come from a well off family and have to take care of you're own servicing? Buy a jap car. Honda is very good I've been told. Lots of parts meaning the supply and demand is good which equals lower costs.

Let us know what you buy. Pics or it didn't happen.

Don't buy a turbod car unless you can get an exemption.

Better to have a license and a dream to drive a GTR than to have no license and a GTR you can't drive.

Out!

I live in a wealthy family, but I'm not your tyPical rick kid that brags, I never mention any of the cars my family owns, wealth, etc.

I'll most likely be going for the BMW, Parents actually want me to get the 330Ci rather then the cheaP 25GT.

Birthday in a month, so gonna start visiting a few BMW Private sellers this week :)

Bullshit, the whole reason you came on here in the first place wasn't for advice, it was to brag that you had 30k to spend on a car...evidenced by you ignoring any advice people have given you.

Man, what are you on about?

I didn't mention being able to spend 30k till mid way through the thread.

I initially wanted an 8 to 10k 25GT, but after realising how slow it is I've avoided going for it.

I've actually taken the advice from people on here and spoken to my parents about it and they'd actually prefer me getting a BMW rather then a cheap box.

And if anything I f**king envy you guys having skylines, wish I could have one now.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
