The only good thing about it as a first car is that it's only a DE....

With all that money spent in it why didn't they give it some tint??

Don't get a loan for a first car, it's highly likely that you will crash it, and if you couldn't afford the full comp you just lost yourself a car, if you did get full comp then you would have a shitload of excess to pay. It's not like you could mod it much either... as most things are already done (apart from turbo, which IMO you shouldn't do till you're off your P's anyway).

If you just want to be 'fUlLy SiK' than go for it...

probably didnt get tint so that people can see inside and see the retrim/dash spray shit.

its over the top but different :( somehow doesnt look too bad all curvey on a silvia, which is an acheivement.,.,

full comp is handy especially on that car, coz ull get some arsehole keying it, or trying to steal the wheels, or some person at uni/shops etc will open the door onto your car and ull be getting shit fixed all the time to keep the paint perfect, and with different pearls in it it'll be expensive full panel spray every time and probably still never match up ;)

best to get a shitty sort of one for now and just use any extra money you may save to buy some coilovers, exhaust, and lsd to begin with and learn to drive it and then step up to a turbo one .

but again that car there would be no fun even as a turbo its more of a 'bring out on weekends and for shows and dont leave it unattended' sort of show car than a real drivers car :P

bit gay to do all that to a non turbo in the first place though ive gotta say .. youd think he wouldve wanted turbo if only for the bov to go 'ptshhh' ;)

Heh heh.

That thing is disgusintg.. makes me wanna puke.. sorry.

If you're getting an auto get a shitbox to learn to drive. Don't bother getting cars that aren't meant for auto cos you're only spending the extra money for no reason.

Almost everyone dings their first car so just get a crappy gemini or corolla and it will cost you little and get you from a - b .. if you stack it into a pole in the car park you won't cry. Then save up to get a better car.

My 2c.

I think its arguably the most disgusting Silvia I have ever seen. Having said that, you obviously like the looks, and that's what matters.

As a first car though, I think its a mistake. Its obviously an attention getter, and is just asking for someone to either steal it, break into it, key it, or otherwise damage it. You will need comprehensive insurance, and I would think it might be difficult to insure with all the custom work.

LW.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
