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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
