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...

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
