do a search on insurance in these forums :cheers:

and yes thats how much its gonna cost you there are no ways around it unless you put it under parents name which will still work out around the same and if they find out that your driving the car more than stated they can void your insurance alltogether so i suggest you look at other cars or wait untill you hav sum sort of no claim bonus if you think the quote you hav been given is 2 much

That is a GOOD PRICE!! i was quote $4100 @ 17 for my skyline gts-t

no cos if ure a proper driver, you will only need 3rd party, get ure ncb up and then go to full comp, or wait till ure 18 and then get full comp, its not to mcuh cheaper but its a little bit less anyways...and more companies will look at you

this is crap advice.

if you're 17, just got your license and think you're indestructable..... then you're probably 17..... and you're probably not (infallible).

dude, why dont you start out with a cheaper but equally fun car. like a silvia or an R31.....

zanda reads fane's mind again :)

this car isnt cheap to uphold, and mikey is finding this out now... :(

as zanda said, you need insurance, if someone hit me and they didnt have insurance or money, i would rip their ****in balls off...

i dont pretend to know everything because im only 21 and im still learning, but at 17 you should aim at a first car kind of level, (this doesnt mean it has to be a heap of shit, but prolly not aim around the 20k mark for you first car) and look at a car that you can get insurance for and build up your no claim bonus.

my first car was a ford falcon, yes it was slow, but it was comfy and nice to drive, and i learnt the road. now i have my skyline, i can afford insurance and im sitting pretty stable (touch wood :))

in the falcon i built up a 60% no claim bonus which got my insurance down to $996 a year insured for $20k with westfarmers.

what about an N/A 33 or a 32 if you want a newer car than a silvia or an r31...? :rofl:

if your are a proper driver you will only need third party...haha...what happens if the car catches on fire?

anyways i agree if you are 17 and you think that 2K is too much then you are not the rich kid 17yr old that can afford to drive this car at that age...if you want to lose all of your life working harder than ever to get enough money to maintain and fuel the car as well as insure it.then be my guest...but there are plenty of cars to learn to drive well in before stepping to a skyline and also before being able to afford it..or at least have a job that makes it easy to maintain the car

wise words from the old skool pimp... err i mean, Riaz knows what he's talking about :P he's from the industry

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
