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)....

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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
