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 :rofl:) 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. ;)

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

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 :rofl: 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?

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

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.

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.

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

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
