Trent,

My mate who also owns a skyline got harrased by the cops on friday night when we were in the city.... he was picking on us coz we drive skylines...

He couldnt understand why we bought skylines instead of a commodores - in his words, a commodore can do anything a skyline can do... apparently.

Maybe you should take the nice police officers words of advice and invest in a commodore..... im sure you'll find one in your price range.

(keep in mind, this police office with "vast" amounts of "knowledge" also told us that intercoolers do nothing but look shiney and larger exhaust do nothing but make noise.... smart guy :P )

HAHAHA you guys are slack, funny shit though......

& CootieWild, just search the for sales section of the forum, or browse carpoint.com.au to get a general idea on vehicle prices....

Also I take it that you know next to nothing about cars, so abit of reasrch woudn't go astray either... helps to know what you can expect from vehicles... it's not enough to just own a car, you have to remember that there are plenty of other associated costs, such as rego, insurance, servicing, moding, fuel, car care products, fines, tolls... etc etc

Also you probably don't have a licence yet, or are on your L's, so when you do get your P's you won't be able to legally drive a GTR if your in VIC or NSW. not that you'd be able to handle it and therefore probably end up another statistic cause you were showing off to your mates....

Buy a shit little run around car, get the hang of things, learn alittle about how it all works (shitty first cars are great for that), and if you crash it, you probably won't care so much.... wait a few years and figure out what it is exactly that you want and can afford.

yeh im on my L's here in QLD we dont have any restrictions to what kind of cars we can drive on our P's...

Well then do any of u that are payin me out...no of anyone with a rolling shell they would depart with?

OMFG

the only skylines you will get for that much is R31s, R30s, and C210s. You couldnt even get a clean R31 silo for that much.

Yep, rolling shells are good to start with when your 16. And a car you put together yourslef will be very good to drive if you dont have any clue about cars (which it sounds like)

Absoloute gold.

yeh well if it will stop u payin out on me yeh sure...and doesnt building ur own car make it better 2 drive :(

No... Just makes the overall price so much more expensive. :D

I would much prefer to buy something that already has mods and nice paint.

Gearbox, diff rebuilds are cheaper than a a nice paint job and decent turbo/injector/ecu setup.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
