My plan, is it good but?

[Let Me Drive]

man i only paid $1100 through just cars with my non turbo on my p's

they are a great car and go just fine, you get all the looks and if you just dont do stupid things you will come out great.

No one knows what under your bonnet until you show or do some stupid so if he plays it right he will never be looked down on ever.

And no mater if its non-turbo or turbo its a skyline and we know we all love them.

Dont forget insurance, it might be worth looking at www.justcars.com.au and doing a quote.

I think you'll will find you will still be up for $2000 a year, even though its non-turbo.

PS i'm from Mt Martha, which school did/do you go to?

i intend to do alot of exterior work (body kits and neons)

note: I know they are illegal but u can install a switch to turn them off, use for show-offs or cruising

If i cannot find a black skyline R33 GTS (non-turbo) i will repaint it with Jet Black, but i dont know how expensive it is to repaint etc. as i hear there can be double coat etc. for it (im new to the whole custom thing lol

3. What type of amp will i need for?? (4 channel 400 watt kenwood or sony)

First of all, neons r legal only if the tube is hidden so if u have ur neons turned on and the actual neon tube is visible then u will be defected for it, but if they r under ur side skirts, front bar etc its ok

Second getting a car resprayed is fairly expensive but if that dosnt bother u then sand it down urself and save some money.

thirdly, dont buy sony car amps, subs or speakers cause they r crap

merlin6014 1) a non-turbo will come in well under $15K, maybe under $10K? good luck selling it though - its hard enough to sell an import let alone a non-turbo one.

Exactly my words, expect to lose about 4 grand in value of your non turbo as soon as you buy it, cause when reselling, its gonna be sooo hard. I just sold my non turbo skyline and had to drop the price to sell it. I lost about 4 grand in resale. The n/a market is so very small.

Dont make the this fatal mistake.

I am 21 turning 22 in august, i have been driving since 18 which means 4 yrs+ of driving. I am given Rating 2 ( dunno why ) at $1100 from Just Cars for a R33 GTST S2. You are 18 yrs old, which means you most probably just driven for 1 yr plus?? I think you will need to pay about $2000 for the turbo car. Maybe less for non-turbo? The 3rd party insurance is pretty standard for everyone, i was qouted $680 as well for 3rd Party fire and theft. Once you start modding the car, your insurance price will raise as well.

Cheers

Hey

The final question i have about the car is just about the difference in fuel consumption between the R33 Turbo and R33 Non-Turbo

im not a car engine buff as u may have noticed but im just curious

How many liters per 100km is a R33 Turbo?

How many liters per 100km is a R33 Non-Turbo?

i have read many many different responses to this in the search

but if they are both running BP Ultimate Ron 98 or something similar

my real worry about the turbo is, how much more money are they to run in the long run with maintenance (talking 5 + years) and also do they drink a bit more in fuel department??

i know there are other threads about it but i just want to make 100% sure before i jump into buying either one

thanks for all the help
