18 years of age. Loss of license twice. $4500 worth of wheels. Remote locking etc.

$6202 a year plus $2800 for the excuses plus another $1000 excuses for the wheels.

No idea on 3rd party. Unless your parents are paying for the insurance, don’t buy a GTR.

*edit spelling*

im assuming you will be on your p plates will make the car too powerful under the power to weight rule. most insurance policies will charge you tons to get it (if you ever can) but they will have a clause to say if you are driving this car illegally according to state road laws then you cannot make a claim. ie: cos you are violating the power to wieght rule you can't claim and you won't have any insurance if you stack despite you actually paying a yearly figure.

There could be a slim few who would insure you. I say Just Cars and Suncorp. But they don't tell you directly they don't want your business. They'll just give you a nice $10k per year to let you know your not wanted.

I got my GTSt when I was 19, nearly killing myself within 5 minutes of owning it was a big wake up call for me.

Powerful turbo cars with drivers with very little or no experience is a bad idea - a GTR at 17 is a VERY bad idea.

Not saying every under 20 driver is a bad driver, but everyone does something stupid when they are that age, and the fact is a car like a turbo Skyline things happen before you realise - and sometimes its to late

I live in a semi-rural area, with lots of hilly roads. On the way into work I drive past 5 fatal crash sites within 2 minutes of my house, all drivers under 20, in newish fast cars

If you do manage to get a GTR or anything even half fast, advance driver course is a minimum, and also try and keep passengers out of the car

becasue at 17, in a GTR, the chances of a big mis-hap are immense

Hey guys,

i own '90 RB30 Patrol with factory turbo upgrade (140Kw)... it behaves bit like VL Turbo when wet day all because it got no LSD it has factory diff-lock for offroading instead... GT-R runs on AWD.

I hope to use GT-R for club events or something like that it's not like i use it everday... i've seen some P platers driving ex cop VL BT1... they even get insured for 300+ Kw at rear wheels... in Vic! so your point being i'm stupid to get GT-R?

i know BCNR33 is heavier than BNR32 and BNR34 so it could be allowed as long i kept it stock?

Regards

McJeff

Theyre hardly comparable even if they both are AWD. The skyline is strictly a RWD car which will put torque to the front wheels if you loose traction, or its sensors think it would be beneficial to do so.

*Every* GTR owner I have ever spoken to has scared the living shit out of themselves the first time they experiance ATTESSA (basically, the car sideways then suddenly grabbing and lurching forward). Id be confident in saying a GTR is a fairly unique car in its driving charecteristics, with almost nothing comparable to it when you push it to its limits (and believe me you will... youre young and youre not buying a GTR to put around in).

With a mindset like youve shown above "i own a '90 RB30 Patrol.... GT-R runs on AWD." I have one favour to ask... if you do get the car please keep away from me until you learn the basic principles that every car is different, and just because you have driven one AWD before doesnt mean you know how to *control* a GTR.

Theyre very unforgiving cars, and all it takes is one "watch this bro" moment and it will bite you in the ass.

i think there should be power laws in all states..........keep p platers out of nice cars.  less mines datsuns.  less to pay for insurance.  less written off skylines......

GTR - 17 - bad idea

no offence but you seem to generalise every 17-20 year old as a mine datsun...it may shock you but not every "young" driver is stupid on the road..yes most are but not ALL are stupid some are responsible. If hes able to afford one and insurance and wants to do driver trainning courses let him... no one knows what his driving habbits is like.

I don't know you, or your driving habbits.

but I don't think a Nissan patrol (4WD, tank land cruiser looking thing I'm assuming) is anything like a GTR, no comparrison. I am looking at getting a GTR at the end of the year and I am almost 22, me at 17 in a GTR, wouldn't have ended well.

I have had a quote from just cars with a 50% no claim on full comp, 6 point immobiliser alarm, near stock, 89 model GTR. garaged overnight, no claims or acco's on my history and a secure car park during the day.

They asked for the princely sum of, da da da da.... $4K a year.

stuff that. I'm 22 mate, with a good record, I would be too scared to ask how much even for third party. maybe you should just try a GTST first and get used to it, then move on later to the GTR.

cheers

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
