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...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
