Car thefts are appaling especially when they happen to someone you know. Hopefully your mate has some luck locating the culprits or the car.

All the guys who have posted about him having a GTR and not affording insurance, re-read the original post. He didnt have it because of his age. This to me would say he is on his P's and no one would legally insure him. Insurance or not though, this sucks big time. :)

sorry to hear that the GTR was stolen .. unfortunately, they're desirable cars and worth a bit of coin, so people are always going to try and take them.

In my mind, if you cannot afford the insurance, you can't afford the car. If nobody will insure you, then wait till someone will.

This guy obviously didn't want to wait, and paid the ultimate price. He's probably sort of well off anyway, if the car was under any sort of finance, it would of needed to be fully insured.

how much is insurance on say an R32 GTR for a P plater, 3rd party to cover stolen?

it coucldnt be any more then $1000 per year, if it is around that then WTF are people doing with these cars? no doubt they play to spend that much on mods?

well as was mentioned above 3rd party fire and theft will only pay out $5K minus excess. comprehensive insurance for a p plater with a 32 GTR in a nice area in sydney will be around the $5K per year mark.

if the car was under any sort of finance, it would of needed to be fully insured.

Yeah but he might've taken out a personal loan to buy the car. That doesn't require insurance.

I agree, I wouldnt own a GTR without insurance but didnt want this turning into a thread about people not affording insurance on a GTR.

This is the third time in recent months that I've read such a tragic story.

While I really feel for anyone who loses their loved car I cannot but reemphasise:

GET F#$#%^G INSURANCE !!!!

If you can't afford the insurance - you shouldn't have the car !!!!

Sorry to be blunt - but really..... how many more times will we hear this story.

Anyhow - Good luck with the recovery (I really mean that)

idealy you should not need insurance.

but it seems there are too many c**ts here who like to steal these cars.

insurance for my age, 22 on a gtr is up around the 6000-7000 mark for a year..

its crazy i know i'd sure love to spent that 7000 on many other things

anyway best of luck finding the car..

p.s. where is griffith??

Damn.. that sucks big-time :D

I've noticed that all of the ones stolen recently have been un-insured. Is that just bad luck, or are there really that many people out there without full comp insurance??

I sure as hell wouldnt drive a car without insurance that is as powerful as skylines are for one, but are also as attractive to theives as a bleeding bull is to piranhas!! :

Anyway, thats hardly the point. Good luck to your mate, I hope he finds the guy(s) and rips their bloody arms off!!!

Ok the car was found lucky for ya mate NOW HE MIGHT GET INSURANCE.As i posted on another forum age has got jack all to do with it,i'm a young P plater with a modded 33GTR and i have no hassles paying the $4000 yr insurance bill, its a small price to pay for driving such a nice car.

Hopefully they got the baftards who stole it as well !!

Car theft is a part of life and it aint going to change. Im sick of reading all the sob stories on here about people with GTR's especially getting stolen and hardly anyone having any insurance.

NO INSURANCE = NO SYMPATHY

Man that is cold Bleach1.

I didnt even have time after the car getting into the country to get

my GTR insured before it was broken into twice and stolen on the second

time, although recovered plus one blown engine.

Dude how could u not have time?? you'd have the engine, vin no surely and have it registered before driving it anywhere, u do know all it takes is a phonecall and you're covered from the second you set the policy up??

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
