It only needs to be locked up in your own garage if within 500 metres of your home. Which is a fair enough call. Anyone that parks their 'line on the street is just asking for trouble. There's at least one Skyline owner that lives in Newtown who parks his car in the street, and I know that I don't want to be subsidising *his* insurance policy when it goes missing.

i just bought a skyline 2 days ago and am looking hard for comprehensive insurance. however my problem is that i'm only 18 with 20%ncb and i live in a "bad area"

although Famous insurance sounds like a real bargain for young drivers, but has anybody got a contact number i could call?

Just got insurance with Just cars for an R32 GTR insured for $25000. Full comprehensive is about $1100 which I thought was pretty good. I am 29 with clean driving history but the excesses are very high. I don't plan on having an accident that's my fault so I would rather smaller premium and larger excess.

I got a quote for a R33 skyline GTS-T with a FMIC mod.. and they wanted $2700 a year, plus about $1000 excess.. That was only an Online quote, so i should probably be able to knock it down a bit more when i describe the alarm i have to put in, the area i'm in, etc...

I am 18, had one speeding fine, never been in an accident, and been listed on my parents insurance policy for 1 and a half years.. They don't even know about my listing on the other policy, so that should knock it down a bit more.. :cheers:

i'm 16 and i about to buy a silvia S13 K that i am importing i know i am a little one to u guys but no one wants to touch me lol Just cars seem the best i hate this just cause i am 16 i'm only using it to learn and doing it as i learn for after i get my P's don't want car in mums or dads name cause it is my money and i want to start geting a no claim bonus any ideas

well the smart thing to do is insure with parents untill the car is registered in your name when you have your Ps...

i drive my parents cars on Ls yet the cars are insured in their names.

when you drive on your Ls, the full licenced driver next to you is treated to be the one driving as they are in control, if you get a speeding fine, they pay it.

i didn't even know it was possible to do what your talking about... and thats a lot of money to start an insurance history.

when you drive on your Ls, the full licenced driver next to you is treated to be the one driving as they are in control, if you get a speeding fine, they pay it.

.

I dont know if this is entirely accurate but a mate of mines daughter was caught speeding (while on L's) and she automatically had points taken off her licence when she first got it.

:eep: well i better stop being so care free out there. although at the moment being a mm over 60km/h sends me the message "OI YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW MOFO".

anyway, this is still doesn't make it economical to register insurance under your name if you're under 18 when you can register it under the supervisor for a fraction of the price.

I'm currently with Famous and paying $3,000/yr ($2,700 + $300 because I pay monthly). Right now I am on 40% NCB however this should be changing to 50% NCB when my renewal is due. I decided to give JustCars a call today...

1995 R33 GTS-t with current mods @ 40% NCB = $2,400

1995 R33 GTS-t with current mods @ 50% NCB = $1,900 (<- this 1 may have been stock standard though)

1993 R32 GTR stock standard @ 40% NCB = $3,328

1993 R32 GTR stock standard @ 50% NCB = $2,755

At this stage i'll be going with JustCars even though i'm yet to get a quote from Famous based purely on the level of professionalism that JustCars have. To me it sounds like Famous is working out of a garage.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
