Get used to it.

You want a Skyline, one of the highest risk vehicles to an insurer, and you are 17 with a provisional license and virtually zero real world driving experience.

If you want the car, be prepared for large insurance quotes!

um.. ok u know how everyone does that put it under mummy or daddys name thing? is that worth it.. my parenst have 2 cars isured with NRMA, have our house isnured with NRMA, u reccon with all there no claim bonus etc i could get insured for less.. or no chance with nrma?

k just did a third party + fire n theft, quoted at $708, with $600 excess, plus $700 for under 21 year old male, then it says :

Your Car

1998 NISSAN SKYLINE GTS HR33 F/INJ 2D COUPE (IMPORT) 6 CYL A

You advised us your car has no unrepaired damage

Purchase date Nov 2006

Purchase price $19,999

Cover

Third Party Property Damage up to $5 million

Plus Fire or Theft Damage for current market value up to $5,000

dont understand why it says 1998 r33?? anyways doe sthat mean if my car gets stolen, i get 5000 back only ???

Not a hope dude. Its a grey import, they wont touch you.

You at the age of 17 have the options of just cars and well.. just cars.

Its the best you are going to get, you are seen as a major liablity.

As said get a small little run about type car, have full compo on that, learn how to drive etc, get the premium down, and in 5 years when the insurance companies no longer look at your current driving history then you could look at your fancy car.

Its just life hey dude.

That will not work. Insurers are now well aware of that trick and the cost of your parents policy would increase significantly should you be listed as a driver.

Thats an online quote correct?

Either way the other bits of the policy say they get to keep the car, and rego etc. So you fork out $700, car gets stolen, you then have to fork out a further $1300 ($2k so far) then if the car is recovered they keep that, and give you effectvly $3k... And thats assuming they dont hit you harder when you actually ring them up to get a proper quote.

just cars is about the only one's that will touch you.

with a poor and short driving history ( you already have a history of speeding) and your age i'm surprised they even offered you cover.

Always go for full comp, otherwise you might end up really out of pocket, no matter if it your fault or someone elses.

If you cant afford full comp then dont buy the car.

as a side point...

most first cars get thrashed and crashed, with your history of speeding and your inexperience why dont you start with something a little easier to drive, a little less powerful and maybe you or your mate in the passenger seat wanting you to go faster in your skyline wont be the next cross on the side of the road.

is it basicly saying u will get max 5 grand back , so if your cars worth more than that u should get full comp?

Yeah kinda dude... But thats what they give you AFTER you have paid for the policy, and AFTER you have paid them the excess, and AFTER they have gotten your car to keep, sold all the good bits left on it, and cashed in the remaining rego...

So the real figure you get back is maybe $3k.

this isnt my first car and im sick of people syaing buy a sh it box, i had a vl already, i know its stupid but i had my vl when i was 16 and drove buy myself everywhere with no license, and i dont know how but didnt get cought, got my Ps and f*k in get done speeding straight away, ive got the money for the line, and im not gonna drive a peace of crap, true wat u said if u cant afford the full comp dont get the car, fair statement, and i wont get the car if i cant afford it, its just annoying seriously, everyone tells us to get shitters, why dont u drive a peace of crap car yourself, i love cars, i love everything about them and im not gonna get sum shit box, id rather wait and get sumthin decent, but ive got the money so im gonna get this

Mate, seriously. Its people like you that have us all paying such high prices for insurance. You sound like an absolute yobbo who should be restricted to an Automatic Excel until your 25. Do NOT buy a skyline. You are going to kill youself and your mates, or worse, wipe out someone elses family.

" i love everything about them and im not gonna get sum shit box"

To be honest from what you have said, it sounds like you don't deserve any car. Try riding. Its cheap, and you won't be endangering everyone else.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
