I have been searching around a few insurance company's online & have found that insurance for Imports is WAY DEARER in Aus than here in NZ. :sick: At the moment my current insurance (per quarter) for my R32 GTS-T is $75.69. With an excess of $250... The cheapest I have found in Aus at this stage is $880 per yr, with an excess of $400 :sick::( Is this the Norm for this type of vehicle? Or are there cheaper insurers out there? :sick: Any Help Would Be Appreciated :)

try shannon's insurance also there is a thread in another section about insurance do a search.

But that is quite a cheap quote, over here for an import, bcoz they dont flood the country with tem like in nz, we get arse rapped when it comes to insurance. it will go on your ages, your driving history etc if you are over 25 and have a good driving history then your insurance will be a little cheaper than if u were say 17 and just got you licence.

some people pay upwards of 2000-$3000 a year for insurance on imports, its rediculous really, but its the price u have to pay. wish we had new zealand system for insurance that would be choice bro! :sick:

Its aint NZ bro, that quote sounds pretty good for full comp, im with just car insurance paying $1700 a yr

Yes, but your car is a R34.. Mine is a R32.. I would expect you should be paying more per year to insure that than me for mine.....

http://www.vigilins.com.au they gave me a better deal then shannon and just car insurance and offer quarterly payment

Thanx Lee... I will have a look at them... The $880 quote I got was from "Just Car"... I would of thought a being 34yrs old with a A1 Driving Record + having a Excellent insurance history would of brought it down a bit more?

Hi Daz... I tried looking on Shannon's web site, but they didnt list a 1989 R32 :) The only 1989 Skyline they had listed was a R31 :P There R32's dont seem to kick in untill 1992? The only reason I can think of for this is NZ having imports way before Aus?

I tried to get a quote through vigil and this is what they told me

Sorry, VIGIL does NOT insure drivers under 22 of turbo vehicles

Sorry, VIGIL does NOT insure drivers who have had their licenses cancelled or suspended

which sucks so i guess it aint suitable for some :)

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
