You want your car in auto salon? I dont think $15k will cut it, sorry to burst your bubble. Also you gotta consider insurance. Insurance for a 17yr old with a turbo import would be over $3000 a year i would guess, if you can get it at all.

Without getting you down dude, you'd be better off getting a bunky till you can learn to drive properly and your insurance premiums go down a bit. If you still want a jap turbo car, i personally reckon you'd be better off getting a 180sx or silvia first, cheaper, good performance and insurance 'should' be a bit easier to get hold of.

Just my 2c tho...

Fair enough having a skyline sounds like a pretty awesome idea but there's plenty of time for that. Once you get one you will find that you wont have much spare cash because you'll be spending it all on mods! Sounds stupid I know but its a pretty bad addiction once you start spending :P

Why not save up a bit more and travel for a while? Then come back and stitch yourself up for a loan for the next 5 years.

Yeh dude - I'm 19, so a pretty close age to you - insurance is a c**t, like $2000 for me - with clean driving hitory etc. Gotta take into account - fuel(Big $$ hahah), maintenance - you WILL need to fix things on a car that age. Also I can say that while they are awesome cars - I wouldn't have anything else - I would not recommend one as a first car - way too fast - keep saving, buy a bunky and drive that - learn how to drive a car properly. Gotta learn to crawl before you can walk dude :P

But whatever you do - just be careful and good luck dude :D

Yep tx3 turbo fwd or awd

keep it 4 awhile and use it 4 your bunky when you get your beast

and then build your no claim bonus up and insurance will be cheaper

and you can use your car while you r young and stupid with your mates cause they and you might f**k up the liner

I just got a loan at 19 and i got $8000, part of that was used to pay of my credit card and the rest for a car. I ended up buying an R31 silhouette, as said you gotta take into account condition of the car and costs to get it running, i've had my car a month now and its still not on the road due to fixing parts etc. I wanted a 32 as my first car but ended up with the 31 due to the fact there were no 32's within my price range, and as said, insurance will be a bitch to get, im paying $1800 a year but its not too bad considering the mods on my car etc. If you did have $15k all up, you would really only have around $12k to spend on a car, as rest goes towards stamp duty, insurance etc etc. I would expect at your age to pay up to $2500-$3000 a year on insurance, with a huge excess, so definatly take a long hard think about it before you decided, as said we dont want to discourage you, but its best to listen as we've been there and have experienced it first hand.

Yeh.. im 24 with 55% no claim bonus, and i still pay $1000 a year, car repayments are $530 a month, petrol about $400 a month, $1300 a year for tyres, plus servicing on imports you have to get done every 5000ks if you want to do it right. Im not sure what kind of money you earn dude.. but unless you're earning kickass money for a 16/17yr old or have 2 jobs.. just buy a bunky for the time being

Im gonna get a loan to buy a rocket ship and then im gonna put a big pink fin on it and cup holder of course. Any1 know a bank that will lend me $2.6b? hmm wonder if i could ask haliburton.........

Nahh seriously, get a nice cheap car u can beat the hell out of for a few years. U can get nice r31 for that $5k u have. Most p platers crash in their first year or 2, yeh i know, i didnt think it would happen to me either but it did.

Learn how to manage traffic and basic drving and then get yourself and over powered monster. Youve got 60 years or more to be in debt, no point getting a head start.

Edit: oh and im pretty sure that u wont find loan being under 17 as u can not enter into a legal contract. if you can it will be some insane interest rate and terms and conditons.

*we reserve the right to sell your first born child* kinda thing

oh and if i were ure parents id castrate u for even thinking about buying car like that.

huumm yah insurance ex, loan very limited...and once you mod, you can't stop..broke for the few yrs after....and when you re-sale the price drop like mad...so it's a money loosing investment...the mods have no re-sale value

to enter Autosalon I'm thinking mods in the order of at least $20,000 which is more than the car price itself~~

but then you had fun~~ just drive safely =)

Well, if he doesn't I guess we'll see the car up in the For Sale section explaining how he's selling his R32 because:

1. Wrecked it trying to drift to impress his mates/girls but didn't get insurance becase it was like $3k a year with a 1.5K excess.

OR

2. Simply got sick of forking out all his hard earned cash on fuel, loan repayment, insurance, tyres, maintenance etc etc.

I hope he listens, as I think we all know what we are talking about. :rolleyes:

I wish i'd listened to my ex when she said i should buy a unit first, then get a skyline after. The money I would of made on the unit in 4 years, i could of gone out and bought a R33 GTR cash :rolleyes:, instead ive still got a yr and a half loan to pay off on a car that is depreciating every day.

But in saying that, i love my car :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
