how does one gain such a grasp at 21? Property and shares both need start-up capital, and returns arent gonna make you loaded overnight unless that capital is very substantial.  

Im not picking at you im just curious, as im also interested in property, not so much shares tho.

Well now iam fielding questions to prove iam not a crim or spoilt brat. Oh well I was privately educated which helped, and took an interest in finance from when i was about 15. Had part-time jobs since then aswell just saved when i was 18 i invested in Hillgrove Gold and all the yield i got from them i used to buy more shares and gain capital. I got into property just before it boomed aswell which helped.

I hav'nt taken any handouts just was very careful where i spent money, and didnt spend money when i did'nt have it. I wanted a R34 GTR since i first saw one in Japan back in 99' i just gradually worked towards my goal.

C'mon guys, i dont want to have to be the one to say this but i think maybe we/you are pushing this dude a lil too far.. So what, he has a nice car.. so do many other people on these forums.. do we criticise them? I'll probably get beat down for this post also, however, the questions you are asking are rather personal. He does not need to prove himself to you to post on these forums. If that was the case.. post up your measurements now.. lol

After reading everything I have to agree, big deal if the dude has a 34GTR at 21. I say well done, thats a awesome effort

He was just trying to find some low-life who biffed his car!! Good to hear that the cops are doing there job, pity he had to ruin another persons day and crash into there car as well

As for the other stuff COPYME has said about it running whatever quatermile times, if a owner wants to make claims on a forum and can't back them up - prepare to be roasted

Seems like everyone has something to say, just thought I'd add my 2c as well

yes evryone always has something to say... im not roasting him im just interested how he came about it. I dont care if it were given to him, and its not like im going to bad mouth him if it were, and since he says that he has done it on his own, surely thats a success story youd here about on TV! who wouldnt like to know how a 21 year old affords a $100thou+car on his own? These are indeed personal questions and nowhere does it say he has to answer them. I think its interesting to hear how people make it big.

agreed :P

I remember when two 21 year old brothers bought a $60,000 Ferrari, and it made the paper! Surely COPYME's story is worthy of a full length feature film :D

Looks like a nice car

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
