looks the part man, noice. dont let peoples opinions about who bought the car get to you man, i get the same thing.... f*** em, as long as you know you payed for it, who cares what people say.... there just jealous neways... not many people have a car like ours for there first one lol.  

just hope you get to keep it, but like "mashrock" said.... since its yours now... you should be able 2 keep it, coz you got it before the law came in, i dont think they'll make you sell it anyways.... i dont think they even can.

Yeah I know what's with that?

So what, my dad paid for my car, what's the big deal?

I don't really see what the issue is.

Hey man, nice ride. Enjoy.

No issue. Its just the satisfaction you earn from saving hard to buy the car of your dreams. Some people here may be jealous. There is no better feeling than achieving a goal. Having stuff thrown at you means nothing.

I didnt pay for my car and i take care of it like hell.

My car has scared me many many times, sometimes i take my mums 4WD because if something happened before i would be scared to drive it.

there is alot of satisfaction in paying for your car yourself and modding it yourself. you value it more. i lose respect for ppl who have loads of work done but none of that was done themselves, or paid for themselves.... i have more respect for an NA silvia with a pod if the owner saved up and paid for it and put the pod on himself.

i loved my Na siliva i spead 4k on Mod and it was still slow and boring i need some boost i i cut my loser and sold it then i found the skyline it was so lucky i found it so cheap and in good nick

Now i stress every day about my P test

Although I think in some ways it's the people who pay themselves and pay for the mods themselves feeling a little jealous.

I paid 17.5k for my R33 and then spent 10k modding it up. My money.

A mate paid 24k for a 1999 240rwkw S14. Full kit, mad wheels.

At the end of the day, he has a better, faster and cheaper car. Personally I'd rather have his car and 3.5k than the satisfaction that I bought my car stock.

When I was a boy I was given my first car by my Parents....a 6 year old 4 cyl Commodore :cheers:

I bought my next 30 odd cars :)

Finance was sooo much harder to get back then than it is now, which is why you see so many young guys driving flash cars ;)

Plus living at home helps

Man, I am so glad I live in Canada and don't have to put up with the government telling me what I can and cannot drive as long as it's a light vehicle. That just sounds so ridiculous to me but I suppose it makes sense to the government there. Keeps the roads safe for everyone and here there is so much more room anyway. Well, nice car man hopefully you get to keep her.

scottman - congratz on the car dude well done on saving up...

I've always loved the 33's - my 'line of choice.

Im in melb and was debating whether to get a 33.. but cant get turbs on it and didnt really want a 32, i feel they're a bit old - gr8 car either way.

Best of luck for the test mate hope all goes well.

lance.

Nice car man, please don't crash it. Especially into me~!! hahaha

Careful of boost, in particular in the wet, and i'm with the people who have the sh1ts with the guys who have their parents pay for their car and work etc (mainly cause i'm jealous that i had to buy it all myself :D)

Congrats on the purchase mate!! Very lucky to have it at your age... I can remember when you first bought your silvia as well, now this! Be careful in the wet, mine gets loose and its a NA with better suspension, and was on 255's at the time, wouldn't want to hear about another skyline wrapped around a pole!

Goodluck with your P's test too man, im sure you'll be right.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
