A friend and I where discussing this a while back. First we got a quote for my postcode. Then with exacly the same details we got a quote for his postcode. The price literally doubled for my postcode simply because its 50 min closer to the city than his. That was with justcars. It really must be all about location location. Guess that explains some of the price variations but it still seems fairly random.

Those dogs are dam angry. I stuck my hand through the fence about and ich to point out a nice 32 that was there at the time and it nearly bit the bloody thing off. At least you know ur potential new car is safe

I went to that car yard (unnamed) a little while a back and the place didnt instill confidence in me. The guy who i approached new nothing about skylines and the whole car yard is literally full of em. Also on each description there was a different name as the importer. Go check it out and be wary. Could be a good deal ,i might have got the work experience kid or somthing.

I remember hearing the the paint can have a insulative effect on the core thus negating any positive effects the black colour has on its cooling abilitys. It cant be much considering the paints probably under 1mm in thickness. Something to consider i guess.

Misunderstanding there. Just saying if he did have exaust and Pod (which it turns out he has) a FMIC would be the next logical step. At no point did i say this is waste of money infact far from it. Espessially when coolers are getting so much cheaper. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=79523

Intercoolers or FMIC (frount mount intercooler) work by cooling the air that is heated by your turbo as it spins close to 100,000 rpm. Cooler air is more dense thus creates more power. The advantage in replacing the stock (piss small) intercooler is the reduction in intake temperatures allows for you to increase the boost using a bleed valve or electronic boost controller. This increases power however a FMIC is generally considered to be best left until a decent cat back exaust system and pod/panel filter has been added. Well thats my understanding on it all anyway.

Location has a huge impact on insurance. A freind of mine who lives 100+km from melb literally pays half the price i would be paying if i had the same car. Same modification, history ect. The fact i live in a meteropolitain district means statistically i am much more likely to have my car stolen from large shopping centres, greater chance of a minor accident in traffic ect. Individual Suburbs attract varying costs. Anyone know if there is list of high premium suburbs avaliable?

The White brothers R34 VSPEC II N1 that won targa tasmania this year is on carsales now for 160k. 8 piston front calipers! White GTR

if im not mistaken 2.6L was the capacity limit for a turbo engine in the racing category the GTR was desighned for, hence nissan engineered the rb26 to fit within these rules.

One thing people forget is if u dont have comprehensive u have the option of selling your wrecked car. Greg answered a similar problem as this a while ago for me.
