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

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
