Hey all,

I am 20, turning 21 in July. Living in Montrose, Victoria (a safe area, not many cars get stolen etc). Off my P's in November and are planning to buy a 1996-1998, Series 2, R33 GTS-T, 5 spd manual in November when im off my P's. My driving record is flawless, not a single fine/conviction.

I thought that being off my P's will make things easier for me insurance wise if im going to be driving a turbo.

I currently drive a 1989, series 3, 5 spd man, R31 Skyline. I am going to to keep the R31 for running around/work and drive the R33 on weekends.

GIO is my current insurer and they are asking me to pay $460 for renewal third party fire and theft insurance and rating me as a Rating 5 driver.

I am pretty sure that GIO won't insure me on the R33 but I have a couple of places to ring to get a quote. All I am asking is does anyone have any insurers they can recommend to me or steer me clear of?

I am hoping to insure both cars with one insurer and save some $$$ because of it. At the moment just car and famous insurance seem like a good idea.

comments/suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have found Shannon's to be very helpful and have very competitve rates with a very very good policy.

The Shannon's policy is much more client-friendly than the Famous policy (my previous insurer). Famous have all these restrictions and exorbitant excess if you are the only vehicle involved in an accident and so on.

I'm pretty sure there is an insurance thread kicking around somewhere. Has all the details for the import insurers.

well ive rang around and the best quotes ive had for full comp insurance for a 1996 series 2, GTS-T, 5 spd man. no mods insured for 14k is $1,480 from justcar. and $1,900 for shannons.

my r31 on the other hand, GIO offer me 3rd party fire and theft for $460 and RACV offering $530.

so im going with gio for the r31, have to wait till nov when i get my skyline before i insure.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
