School holidays time.....

Mate, I think this is a bit of a ridiculous question... It is great that you are enthusiastic about Skylines at the moment, but how about you see what is available in 3-4 years time???

And the way things are going at the moment with laws and regulations it is going to be a lot longer than 2-3 years till you can drive a performance car judging by your age (which is 15 in your profile)....

Well you know i could of lied about my age to fit in but i dont care =P. And i dunno how those laws are gonna go because would they really limit all of australia...they wouldnt be able to keep up, my brother drives a supra but even though they used to pull him over all the time, its like they have given up...

Don't care how old you are, good to see you didn't lie though....

And to answer your question, IMO yes these laws will affect you unfortunately, they could even be harsher by the time your ready to drive.

Also, some advice - don't buy a skyline for your first car, get something smaller, less powerful work your way up to something more powerful.

I realise there are a few guys on here that own Skylines for their first cars, this is just my opinion...

Enjoy your stay here, but let this thread die.

Edit: It is really hard to read what you write in that colour....

its good to see your enthusiasm

however, 2-5 yrs time is a very large time frame

also, 2 yrs is still a long time away

i think you should start looking around 6 months earlier.. 2 yrs is a long time

also, i dont think anyone can give u a price in advance for 2 yrs time due to depreciation (could be too high or too low).. also, you wouldnt know the condition of the car in 2 yrs time

What would you say about a 180 for a first car then??

Same as Skyline...

Get something N/A while your learning. You can't teach road sense, you learn it from day 1 when you get your P's... Sure you hit 17 and you can have a licence, but doesn't mean you have the skills to drive the cars your after...

If you do go down the path of getting a Skyline or 180 for a first car, go do some advanced driving courses, know your limits, respect your cars power and don't be a tool on the roads... Check out a couple of threads that are around here at the moment on some very unfortunate incidents that came from stupidity in a performance car...

So your basically saying i should get a car that has like 140kw or something really low.... whats bad about a old S13?? My brothers friend is a mechanic and hes got a 180, but hes put a twin turbo, now that would be over board but he started off with a stock 180 and now its a beast!

get a cheap car. it will be cheaper on fuel, insurance, and repairs when you crash. This sounds terrible but i had four accidents before I was twenty. one was stupidity and the rest just lack of care and attention. It all chalks up to experience. and you can't buy that.

Enthusiasm is what kills a lot of people on the roads. I don't want to be harsh but as others have said, start off with something NA. It will be the best way to learn the ways of the road. My first car was a civic, and building that up I learnt invaluable lessons about how to make a car handle and what affects the way a car drives on the road. Even if you only have a NA car for a year it will probably stop you from doing something stupid on the road. Or it will stop you from having something that will allow you to do something crazier than you could have done with a NA car.

I don't want to sound harsh, but seeing two major skyline crashes involving people only a couple of years younger than myself, has made me really think about the way people treat the right to drive on our roads.

My 2 cents

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
