Go Easy on him.

I tip my hat to anyone saving $15k and a 17yr old at that. Well Done! You must have a good head on your shoulders.

At 17 I didn't even have my licence let alone a car lol

And I'm with gazza, Stagea insured for agree'd value under 1k a year with an excess of $200 :D... there are advantages to aging :)

Legit is the way to go. Cause insurance companies are bitches. If they can find a reason to not pay out. They will. So do all everything legit, so at least at the end of the day, if by any stroke of bad luck, ur car was rammed by someone or you crash, they still will pay.

Mitchy, what's wrong with the sparco rims ?

It's gotta be easy saving 15k though with cashed up parents... bets on he'd be on a fair amount of pocket money! :(

JJ...but seriously a GTR is a lot of car for most people, I am glad I kept under 2litres until now (27y/o), I would probably have met my angel wings early had I owned one 4-5 years ago... go the Swift GTI & the ledgendary Suzuki Mightyboy!!!!

Heres a free tip though... I was put onto a insurace company that I am now going to use for my 32GTR...

TORQUE Insurance is through a financial company called LUMLEY... ph (08) 9220 8212

The guy I was dealing with was easy to talk to and it was much cheaper than Just Car. His name is Steve Walter, but he is sunning it on the sunshine coast atm, so you can ring and ask to speak to Loraine. BE BRUTALLY HONEST... it is the only way to do insurance. You pay all this $$$ for peace of mind each year and if you have left something out and you try to make a claim...you can wind up with nufin but the lies you spun when you made your application... not worth it mate, do it right or dont do it at all.

In the end no matter what any of us think/say you are gunna do what you want so if you get it, keep it on the road (in the right direction) and through a wave if you pass any peps on here! :D

i agree..

when i insured my car, i gave them the list of *all* my mods..

that way i know everything is covered, and they cant knock back a claim based on things not mentioned.

and with all my mods, it comes to $2600 a year now. id rather pay that than the tens of thousands the car + mods is worth.

in my opinion, i wouldnt buy a gtr in the first place, especially if i'm 17 turning 18

talk about jumping up the food chain...

and also, if you've got a $30k GTR what's a few more grand gonna hurt for u?

if i had 30k sacrifice myself several g for insurance, leeway, mods, service etc...

good luck with it anyway...

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
