Good luck :)

Can't wait to see the 34 if you buy one.

Also a r33 is a cheaper option which leaves more money for cool mods.

They come in both 4 door and 2 door.

I like to pretend that they never made 4dr R33's haha. They are an acquired taste.

Don't let manual scare you, i bought my first car (s13 silvia) in Melbourne never having touched manual and drove it home(SYDNEY!) that taught me pretty quickly (lol)

Sounds like a 4 door R34 would be the best way to go for your needs :) - they look awesome too!

Duncan Gay yes, has announced that many 100s of cars previously banned for P platers will be permitted to be owned and driven. He stated that the current laws are outmoded. So the RMS has a revised list.

Now for balance! Assuming you have a legal turbo car (within the scope of power to weight), have you considered Advanced Driver Courses? And don't forget that our club runs track days/hillclimbs/texis!

Enjoy and stay safe!

I'd personally buy a nice R34 coupe (only because I like my sports car to be a coupe & and had a NA R33 coupe when I was on P's) and I think get some wheels and coilovers and leave it at that.

I wouldn't spend too much money on it if you are already planning to sell it when you get off your P's.

Save the money to mod something that's worth modding when you are on full and something that you won't sell it off :P

Oh and whatever you choose to do, do it for yourself, whatever makes you happy, and stuff the passengers, they can always get in from the other side haha

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
