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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
