Well after some initial fears of what the insurance costs would be for a R33 GTS-t,

I rang SunCorp today and with my current no claim status asking for full comprehensive it comes out to $770.

Probably the only joy of getting old, 31.

I was very impressed with SunCorps phone manner and the patience with the rep having me asking all sorts of what ifs, EG TurboV'sNon-Turbo (no dif), 4-DoorV's2-Door (no dif)

I can highly recommend them to any one.

I'm with Suncorp too MRE :)

mine costs heaps more than yours though! :(

$1400 a year, 28yr old, 60% NCB

maybe it's cos I'm in Canberra? hmmm who knows...

You're right, their phone matter is great! I rang up to make quite a few changes, and the guy was so nice!

Thats an awesome price. Sun corp have been know to give some funni prices. ie $25k a year for a 18 year old kid with a R33 GTST worth $22k.

Pretty much if your not in QLD your paying heaps extra through them, even more if your under 30.

Just out of comparison i pay $960 a year on 55% ncb with RAC in WA.

I paid 1040 for mine just cars. I rang unique there quote was dearer but if I write the car Off I get first chance at the wreck and I liked that till they arked up about by wife parking inthe city in a secure car park at night go figure it was 5:00 pm on a friday and cover ran out on the sunday. told the guy to get fu**ed and rang just cars after 5 pm on a friday they took my cash no probs so unique wont be getting referals from my site any more. and with just cars rating one protection $35. btw that was with all my mods declared and endorsed. but I'm an old bastard. I think as well with most compaies after one year no prangs they realise you can handel the car.

here is a good one for you guys looking to build a rating. for the last 5 or so year my cars haven't been great so I only had third party but was insured with racv. although I had a claim with them (my car was stolen) they still gave me a rating one casue I had had no claim for 7 years or more. btw NSW sux not having third party fire and theft or at least third party property.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
