as much as i like my car, id really suggest you wait a bit until you buy a skyline.

when you are 20+ then look at buying one, but postpone it as much as you can, and save as much as you can to lessen the loan amount.

and if you wait long enough, R34 might be in your price range :D

Moding is more addictive than drugs

you get your car were u wont it

drive it 4 a couple of weeks then get flogged by a tx3 laser then the next stage comes in

it is like 2 dudes standing facing each ather then getting hand fulls of $100 notes and throwing them at each ather to se who wins

i love modding

Insured in daddies name no doubt... :(

would have to be i say, as under my name at the age on 17 they wanted $4100 for full cover

that was r33 value around 20k with a few k of mod lists along with $500 soundsystem and 1.5k rims.

now that im 18 it drop to $2400

and im due to turn 19 soon, so im pretty sure it will drop again

p.s i have clean driving record

a friend of mine bought an r33 turbo for her first car, she wrote it off a month later.

no offence but i find it a bit scary at the thought of fresh drivers with a powerful car... but meh they think they are invincible and that they will never crash etc... unfortunately statistics dont agree with them.

we aint being harsh dude, its just that we have all been there n done that already

ps. would an insurance company even insure someone without them having their licence yet? im sure once he gets his licence and tells the insurance company itll go up more cos dont they usually go on the youngest driver regardless of who the cars name is in?

hmm ive had alot of harsh and not very nice comments ever since i joined these forums getting quite put off althoug u seem there only comments and yes i hav my learners why else would i buy a car ? and i know they are powerfull cars paul at autoworx explained that and he knows i hav raced karts for a long time now so has he and he thinks it will help alot with handling powerfull cars

Sammie, Dude not being harsh just honest we all own lines and know the costs involved especially if you start modding it. I agree with Rhianne a youngin in any big powerful car is scary but it's your choice and you've already made it just please be careful and respect your life and others. Don't ever be fooled into thinking you have something to prove when some retard tries to egg you on.

I used to race karts as well (dirt track in Wellard) and there is a BIG difference in the handling characteristics....They don't call them Whales for nothin.

Good Luck

dude check my comments they arent harsh;

I have been lucky to not smash my car yet *touch wood* i've had a few close calls. But the fact is we are all human and mistakes happen and ur more likling to drop second or kick the clutch mid turn in a skyline then u are in a shitter.

I think it really depends on the person you are. Like Rhianne said; some new drivers think they are god and that they can link 3 turns with tehre super drift skills or drop second and hole the smoke all the way up the street. and some drive normal and take there car to the track to have fun.

Im just going to add my 2cents; When people say they should ban P platers from turbos and imports, i kind of agree with it (not 100% but like 75%) the fact is my sister just had a baby and my gf is driving alot and i dont want anything to happen to them when they are driving and if some dickhead in an import thinks he is god and try to drift around every turn he takes, something is bound to happen to that person or to someone else driving

/end rant

again sorry but had to add my 2cents :(

buy a cheapy bunky thats easy to get insurance for and drop an import motor into it....... ie a ke30 corolla, the drop in say a 4age ( 1.6 twin cam twin carb), will go like stink, and will be cheap to fix when you do fark up drivin, because we all do at that age, im 30 now and i know wot im talkin about, we all think we're invinsible a t that age....... that way ya learn the road a bit beater before ya get ya beast and then can anticipate the other nuts on the road so they then dont end up writting of ya pride and joy.......

this is a great point, my friend has an ae85 coupe with 4age and i tell you i have more fun driving that car than driving my skyline.

The car is not as quick but u can give it shit and still be within the speed limit, it may not dish the chop but f**k it at the end of the day tehre are way too many cops to try and be a hero in ur car

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
