Drink driving with teenagers is a bit of funny statement - you make it sound like(Probably don't mean it tho) that it is kinda a teenager specific thing....

Ah well - I just arc up when someone mentions drink driving and teenagers as I personally think you couldn't do anything more stupid...

never mind me... :D

1) It is highly unlikely banks will give you a loan.

2) Buy yourslef a bunky for a first car. Mine was a TR Magna, Big comfortable and not overly quick. but still looked great for a first car.

I tell you now.buy yourself a bunky and start saving some cash. When you have the cash for a deposit go to the bank, or keystart and get yourself a house loan. Buy a house. Once you have bought the house banks will throw money at you because almost instantly you have equity. Then get yourself the car of yuor dreams.

Cars are a massive sinkhole. You never make money from them and bank know this too. Houses on the other hand, unless you treat them like utter shit, will always make you money and you find banks will be more open to lending you the money. Or as dan (i think) said. Go on a holiday. At that age you dont need to get yourself in debt that is basically lost money that soon.

P.S - im sorry if this is fairly uncoherent.. I have just been woken up by a mouse at work and my eyes are hanging out of my head.

Sammie,

The number of replies this thread has got since you started it certainly shows that the community is trying to give you the benefit of their knowledge as there is nothing closer to a Sau members heart than someone getting their first skyline.

Talk to your Dad and if he is cool with a 32 as your first car he obviously thinks you can handle it and the responsibility and may even go as a guarantor to help you get it.

My only advice is to perhaps think about something a little cheaper, but always get the best example of whatever car you choose to buy as it will likely save you in maintenance and help with re sale.

P.S. I started with a 31, got a 32 GTR before i was 21, got another 31 and have recently bought another GTR. Sure i'd be a bit further ahead financially but the reason why we drive these cars is because we love them and the joys of owning them sometimes out way logical thinking :(

Cheers,

Rhino.

I have 4500 saved up and getting UP TO 10,000 from my parents, at no interest paying back over 3 years (I know im a lucky kint)

I got quoted from Just Car insurance yesterday for an 11,000 Skyline (r32 GTS-t) to a 18 year old at $2446 Premium with a $1800 excess for comprehensive.

I think im going to go for 3rd party for the first year or so, which is $338 a year and $1.4k excess :cheers:

Fark there is a big difference between 18 and 19 yo's... mine was for an 11,000 sale price(would only cover for 10,000) and it was ~1800 a year... what the? maybe its cos i'd had my license for nearly 2 years already - with no claim bonus', clean histry n shit... what you guys reckon? and thats with minor mods - intercooler, non-existent stereo, bov, air filter etc...

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
