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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
