HAHAHA you are joking right? Mate if you are stupid enough to drive that on your p's then go right ahead. every cop that see's you in that will pull you over full stop. Stop dreaming and wait until it is feasable. dont even worry about the legality of driving such a car on restricted driving permit etc.

yeah learn how to spell before you worry about learning how to drive maintain and up keep a skyline. And yeah those rims do suck arse

also the shopping list on the front quater panel looks ghey!

Its not just purchase price buddy running a car like that costs more than the p/week payments. forget it go buy a commonwhore until you are old enough to legally drive it.

first of all, when did u get your P?i cant remember the date, but if u got it only recently and u r still going for it, u can NOT drive that car as there is a high-performacne-vehicle restriction now on ur license in your state. u r right as there r ppl driving GTT R34s on their Ps, but they got their P plates b4 the restriction got brought in. so if u cant drive it, tough luck mate.

Also, a highly-modified skyline no matter whos driving it will pull heaps of attention from the boys in blue. dont know what it has on the car but one thing for sure is that at least it looks modified. and thats all it matters for the cops.

think about it b4 u make any decisions. i know money is not a problem for u, but driving a car like that needs a lot of experience as well as skills.

maybe u need a shitbox for half a year?? :)

Those wheels are fuggin terrible on that R34, they ruin the whole car!

You'd have to be stupid to spend that much money on a first car, chances are you'll probably stack it and there goes all your money down the drain.

You should consider buying a S14 200sx, prices start at around 14k for a series 1 and S14a probably starts around 17k or so. S14a's look awesome with a kit and decent wheels (not like that crap on the R34) and it will have more than enough power for you...

Learn to drive first then consider getting a more expensive car.

yeh i didnt like the wheels myself they a bit to fat for my liking.

sorry about the typing. in a rush and thats how i type the fastest.

parents gonna pay 20 i got saved up 10 myself and yeh i know about insurance but it can be done. my mate turned 18 the other day got his S15 insured. i know a S15 isnta r34 but yeh.

about S15s.......is that a good choice for a 1st car, although my mates gonna be cut if i get the same thing as him.

If you're going for the looks of a car (which could be seen from the pics), you may choose to consider an N/A R34. It will cost a lot less, it would be legal (those other P platers may be N/A) and if you're keen later, you could turbo it or sell it to another P plater that shares your tastes.

mate, in terms of safety and shit, i would NEVER recommand anyone to buy S15s for their first cars. a mate of mine bought my old S15 for his first car, and guess what, he wrote it off and nearly killed me in the car. S15s r lighter than R34s(even tho they r both RWD) and they have similar power output . so that leads to s15's tail crapiness if u dont know what u r doing. (thats y they r so good for drifters).

trust me, u dont want a s15 b4 u r experienced even tho they do look good.

listen man, if you can afford it buy it. BUT ONLY if your willing to get a 5K loan or can afford about 5K for insurance... as for a second car im looking at a TT supra and im willing to fork over 5K for insurance.... alot better then losing 30K in one shot!

i got qouted by aami? 2K to insure my NXR, which is NA, auto and front wheel drive... i mean... god damn... 2K a year for a 6K car... thats a joke! ive been driving on my P's since the start of the year and i havnt got a single pin dent since ive been driving.

and to talk about experience... i deliver pizzas (fastest pizza boy in town, wanna challenge?) 100K's a day, 700K's a week and thats all town driving... every single K of it. thats day and night, hot, cold, rain, storm, peak traffic, no traffic, dick heads on the road. grannys on the road. theres been drags on deliverys... theres been chicks distracting me..

but anyways buy the car if your willing to get it insured... if not... buy a car less then $500... thrash it, crash it, learn your shiz... then buy the high pro car... yeah?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
