no, i think you should get the much cheaper R31

you are now at the HIGHEST category of:

- crashing, and either killing yourself or hurting yourself

- insurance premiums

- blowing an engine or gearbox (got the $$ to replace it?)

- wanting to modify (do you really have the $$?)

taking a loan for a first car, if that's what you are doing, is not the best advice anyone could give you...

get a twin cam corolla.

3 years later get a turbo skyline

Werd

Twincams rule, use sfa fuel, cost bugger all to maintain and insure. Gold first car.

Oh and i know its just my opinion but dont buy an NA 'line, pointless excercise if u ask me. Better off getting a commo for alot less money.

There was another "first car" thread not long ago which recommened waiting before getting a skyline, and get an econobox shopping trolley first. I stand by that recommendation. I drove a hyundai for 2 years before getting my skyline, and I think I appreciate the skyline more because of it.

And does anyone else reckon the twin cam corollas are overrated? Great first car but some people REALLY love them and reckon they've got a rocket or something. A friend of mine claimed his stocker did 0-100km/h in "about 5 seconds" and that he "beats VLs 'n shit".

Dunno why he was so blown away with my stock GTS-T's performance then...

But seriously go for an N/A 4cyl to start with, learn to drive, then you can get a skyline and fully enjoy the performance and handling. Plus with the money you save you might be able to get an R32 GTR in a couple of years!

I would also suggest getting a smaller car in the beginning to get some experience and then move to a Skyline.

You won't regret it. Also I think a new P Plater's insurance would be over $2K on a Skyline.

I had a Toyota camry 88 model before. Great car, safe and economical. Especially now when the fuel prices are going through the roof.

I guess the Toyota Corolla Twin Cam suggestion is pretty good.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
