[Blade]

ahahah!

[krzysiu]

lol dont be harsh INASNT i should have scratched ur car when i saw it at ice

[DSKYLINE2C]

dont worry bout cops man....i had my r33 for 1.5 years and never once got pulled over....my perception is that as long as you behave on the road, you should be fine!

[R31Nismoid]

have u already picked out the lightpole u r gonna hit?

:werd:

he aint being harsh dude, he is actually being realistic for a change

[XplodeSkyline]

most expensive thing i've every brought, and it's sending me broke

[WazR32GTSt]

fark i am surprised with the responses here

my advice is:

- forget about a loan for a car. you will be paying it off still when you're 30

- R33GTSt is illegal on your P's. that means if the cop has half a brain then you can be fined and lose your liscence on the spot for a period of time longer than one month (not sure how long it is)

- insurance company will insure you but if you make a claim they can deny you the claim based on the fact that you are illegally driving the car!

- so basically, i would keep the R31 and do it up a bit. get some driving experience (comes with time, not intellegence) and when you're 21 or so you can but an R33 or better outright and then you really will be laughing at 18 year old's that are talking about selling their souls for a car that is illegal for them!

best of luck!

buy a silvia (or an R32), its a good steppin stone to a powerful skyline and it'll teach you how to handle a mildly quick car. its not expensive either.

Later on in your life when your finances are better mod your car into a beast (what I'm doin now... say hello to my TD06 ) or sell it as it is, lose a lil money and buy your dream car.

Debt is the worse thing you can incur this early in life. Trust me, been there, done that.

and krzysiu... good luck... you're gonna need it... for once INASNT isn't alone in his views.

[flex]

umm... Insurance companies should not do this... insuring u for a r33 gtst... then denying u the claims coz ur 18. that doesnt sound right... coz they do ask for ur age when insuring ur car...

[flex]

yeah, whatever u do... dont get finance on your car or get a loan... pay cash! trust me, its better in the long term!

[funkymonkey]

insurance companies are plebs they insured me as a 23 year old while I was 21 due to data entry error, even though they had my birthdate correct : god bless Just cars and their silly staff

[SS8_Gohan]

Yes to cash! I saved for 2 years and have got the Poosar in the mean time, paid outright and still got some left over for some investement, smart shit like not buying a GT-T No loan, crazy interest rates.

I think the way that insurance companies don't worry about P's and power to weight is because Vic Roads allows the car to be registered. The only prob would be if you went to register a locally delivered R32 GTR.. well prob any R32 GTR. Only one on record. Just Cars seem to pay out for p platers on turbo cars afaik, so they don't seem to have a prob with it?

P plater with 0 driving experience in a high powered car = bad news.

For an example go back to ICE and have a look at the White R32 GTR that is there which looks like a banana after kissing a light pole.

This is not true... i have asked several cops and they also say it is legal to drive them, And also Vic roads has a list of cars that p Platers cant drive and it does not appear on that list.

James.

[Horus]

do you have a link for this list?

[JAMESW]

no i dont, you'll have to go into one of thier offices... umm i dont think it is on the website.

I went in to the one in Burwood and the chick checked a book thing she had. then she said no.. it is ok for you to drive this car.

I totaly agree, If it's not illegal to drive them on your P's it should be! There is no way in hell I'd let my son (If I had one) drive a turbo 32,33 or 34 on his P's full stop.

[Horus]

what if you had let the kid drive tubo cars since he was 15?

[adznight]

I don't care what's said if your sitting in the car with someone you have a certain degree of controll. I wouldn't think many lerners or unlicenced drivers are going to drive thier car as hard as the would by themselves as they would under instruction.

i have been told by several cops that you aren't allowed to. all this while they scan my bay for a turbo...
