Importing A Gtr For My P's

[Anfanee]

400kw wrx owned by Panayioti here in ACT?

If so I know the kid too. His dad owned RH9 lol

ORLY i didn't know that!

The reason for the "Keep the golf" being a bad move, I'm getting Financial pressure plus peer and family pressure to get rid of it.

Can you afford to buy TWO GTR's?

If not you have not seen "Financial Pressure" Yet.

$5k? Wait till you get a GTR. That number is just a drop in the great GTR maintenance ocean

This man knows^^^^

<-- had turbo car on late P's (goddamn Vic rules mean 4 years on Ps). But it was for occasional weekend use and track days. Still spent more time off the road than on the road.

People can barely make it driving a mildly modded N/A skyline without being hassled. GTR is just jail bait.

Learn what you can from others and about parts and plan what you want and make a budget etc. It'll make your dick go hard thinking about what you could do but think of all the monies you saving.

then just buy a pulsar and youre set for hassle-free, low maintenance P's.

Option X: Move over to WA & redo your license here, get P plates & enjoy driving any turbo/V8 you want without any car restriction.

bro, in all honestly, driving a quick turbo car on your p plates is awesome, but when it's your only car, it's the shittest thing ever. ( u need to just drive a quick car occasionally it can't be ur daily - because you are deemed to get caught.

I bought an s15 that looked very cop bate and had 350hp worth of mods in it. I got caught within 3 weeks of owning the car after the turbo dose sound went off whilst I was under the speed limit.

highway patrol have me 500$ worth of fines, driving manual and turbo on ps. (3points in total)

I applied for an exemption, made my work have phone interviews and submit papers to vicroads and everything.

miserably failed, and got threated by vicroads that the modifications on my car where race spec and not street spec. and they had an engineers certificate from two previous owners of the people that owned the car after me.

So I took the matter to court, then I also live in Dubai so I delayed my court case 9 months and went to Dubai. the court went and checked when I will come back from Dubai (when uni starts) and made my court case the day exactly after I come back from Dubai.

went to court. lost obviously, judge made fun of me and considered that I was a university student and I had no records and I never speed and all that so gave me a fine $8 less. yes $8! after waiting 5 hours hearing everyones court case from child molesterers to thieves I had the lamest case.

and now I have no car, and I can't buy any car because every car I sit in I think it's too slow, because I driven and owned quick cars.

- I've also avoided cops more than once when I drove the car, and like one time the cops felt sorry for me because I nearly cried because I had nothing of my license points left and I was going to lose it if they fined me.

so just don't do option A.

buy an autech s15 or like a cool bayside blue coloured r34 with nismo kit, and just trick yourself into thinking your car is quick and has potential. Australian streets are really slow anyway. everywhere is 50, 40 ,60 even 100 is slow for freeways. and speed humps everywhere.

Here's my 2c.

Options A, B and C are all out. If you do any of that stuff, you're setting yourself on a bad path and bad attitude.

Don't start looking at GTRs until you're ~6 months out from your full license. Aim to get one just before or after. In the mean time get something that's a bit track friendly (eg. mx5, Integra) so that you can have some fun and refine your car control. You could spend a little on mods on that temporary car, but remember you wont get any of it back, and its money you wont be able to spend on the GTR. Keep your driving record clean! Otherwise you'll get constant attention from the police, and they wont give you the benefit of the doubt or let you off. So that means don't speed on the streets - that's what the track days are for.
