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.

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

    • 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.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
