Yeah but what you describe is the general experience of insurance as a whole. Market value is only useful for stockish common cars. ie. my VX Executive may be worth $20,000 and every year it looses $1,000 for example. So I may expect to get myself in a like example if it gets pinch. But our cars are largely unique. If I got back $25,000 (which is what many 33's are nominally valued at) I doubt I can get everything back to where I was... T.

Ack! If you're made of money I suppose... T.

The RB30E is a waste of time. The RB30DET conversion is valid but it's known to break drivetrain components given the torque it produces. Again you are coming back to the rb25det. T.

This is normal. I bludged 60% ncb off my olds as well but of course, phuqqed it up the wall with my colourful driving record. T.

Look man, my car is the slowest thing. I need more powahhh! No matter how much money I spend it's just slow. But if I'm in the passenger seat and someone else is driving, damn is it scary! I'm thinking a regulator as well to smooth out the feed. T.

HKS2530 seems to be a good choice. Sydneykid has something against the 2540. Maybe one of the GT-RS might be good. T.

Yeah thanks for the offer Andrew. I may even go as far as a Type-S. I want to fear no gutter! T.

A front bar support is a thing that bolts to the chassis and holds up the bar (usually no actually connection from the support to the bar). Mine is made of fiberglass composite and I got it from "JS" for $220. My experience with JS was less bad but I'm sure I can find someone in my local area (ie. Silverwater). T.

At this point I'm thinking about going with a more conservative bodybit (perhaps 400r) but with a Type-M front bar as I'm not exactly a careful driver so I need something nice and high. T.

Wasn't it a while back that people recommended either anodising or some sort heat treatment instead of paint? Worked out to be quite cheap. T.

You can get unpainted 400r bits much much cheaper than at UAS elsewhere... T.

It's my impression that the 400r bar + skirts are all rather conservative looking. The skirts have some vent holes that do fark all and the rear bar is just a bit heavier set so it matches a big exhaust better. It's only the front bar that looks a little loony. T.

I think most of you have seen this: http://www.nitroware.net/~tony/r33_front.jpg One piece bar. 17" rims. Lowered HKS susp. It is too damn low. This explains why yours looks 'high' and mine looks low. T.

Lemme guess... CYA-L8R? That's a pretty high looking 400r bar. Could be an photo illusion though. T.

Bodyform and Carmate in Syd. do a Veilside copy. It is a VERY popular kit (god knows why). T.

Can I ask whether they offer 3rd party? I think I may be very uninsurable soon... T.

100% correct. The 400r was a 99 car limited edition 33 GT-R w/ stroked 2.8 litre 400hp motor. Nismo never licensed this kit. By definition they are all copies (but so what, it's a coolio kit!). T.

My car used to flutter like crazy with an old HKS gold bov + HKS green pod. Hated it. It is less bad now with a HKS SSQV + Apex'i power intake (in a box). T.

Without trying to alienate anyone, get a few quotes. What is this 'fitting' stuff? I can fit one and I know nuzzing. You just need the thing sprayed and the indicator lights added. There are four bolts that hold the front up. Is this a trust,jun,waste copy? They look kinda good. T.

Bending or cutting license plates is normal on skylines. Obviously some copy bars are not as good as the OEM stuff. T.

I tried a lot of things, changed BOV but it still does it to some degree. So you really have two choices, change driving behaviour or buy something like a HKS EIDS (electronic idle stabiliser). I should be getting my EIDS installed and I'll report how it goes. T.

It means that eventually you'll line up against an unmarked VX SS commodore... T.

They are sealed. You need a new light. Good luck. I've had no end of trouble look for headlights. T.

Nah we need to get together for a CDR burn session... T.

The rims are totally ghey This looks like a fat 350z to me... T.
