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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
