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 feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
