craz0, id check ur insurance contract, namely the details of disclosure. the wording will vary from company to company, but the gist is about as follows-

if u dont tell us about things which make ur car faster, more attractive toi thieves, illegal(according to your state laws, ie zorst, bov, rim size) then we dont pay fo your crash/theft etc.

the best thing u can do is make sure that

a: all your mods are legal

b: they are approved by the insurance coy

c: if not strictly legal, see if u can get them engineered to be so

d: the insurance ciy is informed of any and all mods

doing this will save a lot of hassle and possible heartache in the future, cause we dont want u to end up as another one of those 'the insurance company wouldnt pay when i wrote off my car cause my whels were an inch too wide' stories...

nb: faaaaaaaaaaaark! lucky cheap quoted bastard!!!

I have an exhaust now Prank :D

and a strut brace...and a pod! LOL

it all takes time...I've only had the car 2 years :bahaha: :bahaha:

As for Suncorp and mods, as far as i was aware they allow a certain amount, but not unlimited. Will have to pull out my booklet thingy and find out.

as for alarms...I have a Brant immobiliser/alarm noted on my policy but i didn't get a discount. They had a "Immobiliser Campaign" last year where you could recieve a discount, but the immobilisers had to be fitted by a CAR-SAFE approved installer, and Brant wasn't on their list unfortunately.

my r33 gtst is 850 per year with suncorp. It in my dads name as a rating 1, and when i spoke to them last, under all new policies, they will now no longer insure unlisted under 25s... again, thanks to boxhead :D

only killer with suncorp is excess. I think mines something like 2800 if I crash, compared to my 4wd of $300.

i just had a nice think about it, now...

last year as most of you know i went through a barbed wire fence...

now, lets say i wasnt insured.. it would have cost about 7800 all up, including me changing the front bar, and color which didnt need to be done,  

now people might say, i didnt damage much, but remember 90% of the car had to be resprayed because of the barbed wire..

so if i had that same crash, and same cost this year, and didnt have insurance, i have saved 800, on the premium, dont forget the excess which is 800 aswell..

now, the way i think of it best is to sorta insure yourself.. have a look at the premiums, and simply save that much over the year, or as quick as you can, and put in it an invester account, which you can access if need be, but it earns more money, and then same thing next year... but once you have the valued amount of your car, no more doing it. because a) your money will grow untill you take the money out.. and B) the worst you could do is right it off, costing you the amount you have saved...

paying half the cost of the car to insurance company is ludachrist.

i recon thats a great idea. thats great thinking. if everyone started to do this then the insurance companies would wake up to them selves and start charging realistic prices.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
