Cons: cops will love you.. youl be slower the old bogan mate in his commondore. Oh and did i mention the cops will love you! Youl get over it quickly

Honestly your better off buying a little run around car for your P's and saving your money to buy a gtt when your off your Ps. Youl have a better base to begin plus you wont have to do the whole +turbo conversion and to do it legally itl cost you more then a gtt plus it wont be any better then a stock gtt. Its been said a million times wait till your off you Ps. One of the guys on here did the conversion and he knows his stuff.. he said its not worth your time

If you dont plan on driving it untill off your Ps then dont buy it and wait.. itl be to much temptation to drive it and youl most likely get caught if you do..

I know its hard to wait but it is the best thing to do.

Good luck

P.s your in the wrong thread mate

Oh well, who wouldn't want a turbo car for their first one? Mine was. Totally worth it.

Ill never forget the first time my FWD 4WS car swung the ass end out majorly in the wet.

Moral of the story is to get plenty of drifting practice in so you're not so worried about it.

I was going to leave this one, but i just can't...

Ok Mr Bill Gates, who earns 3 times as much as me. Put down 52K and you can buy my GTR? I mean, you clearly earn more than I do....

The point of my original post was to bring you down a peg. You are only 17, you don't have enough real world experience to 'claim' this awesome driving skill (I don't care if you have been driving since 13, plus it's illegal..... I'm guessing you grew up on a farm or drove Go Karts) and it's this attitude that is the reason why P platers get such a bad rap.

Anyway, go buy your 34 mate.

School holidays? This is such a typical thread, P plater comes here all hotted up asking for advice and when they're given a legitimate answer that they don't like they just lose their shit, also who asked about your income?

ANYWAY

Owned and drove a skyline on my P's, was slow(as expected), cops loved it but i had a much more mature attitude than you seem to have and i never had a problem

Buy what you want, money seems to be no problem

Nah who cares about buying houses at that wage.

I think for your first car a 35 gtr would be sick. Imagine all the bishes that you could attract with your awesome physique and big penis because car + cash money = big endowment. Fact google it. That shit true.

Or you are full of it and you actually earn 10,000 Zimbabwean dollars which is you know nothing and then you couldn't even afford a model car.

I love school holidays.

Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
