If u're really stuck, go Prosperion, guarantee the most u'll pay is about 1500/1600 full comp. Unlimited mods, as long as it's street legal.

BUT (yes, there's always a but) It's a lot more complicated than normal insurance and it's not just an insurance company either, u pay all car costs thru them.

sorta the same thing happened to me, Oct/Nov '02 was gonna get a R33 GTS-T but parents pulled out at the VERY last moment, i was at the place putting down a deposit on a compliance plate. I was paying for most of the car, parents were putting in $5k but they wouldn't let me cos it was Turbo. Didn't like the idea of importing either, stupid parents!! They suck!

anyways, good luck.

EDIT: roflmao at Troy!! hahahahah :bahaha:

im on 3rd party under my name from age of 18 (im 19 now) for $600 with no accidents (touch wood). how much experiance of driving have u had? maybe if u had a lot since even before ur l's (like me, from age of 12 :)) u can con ur dad into letting u get it.

i also have my colt under my name i think on full compo i dunno have to check statement for $450 or $650 hahaha

but yeah u want full comp which is a good idea because i get scared on 3rd party no matter whats going on around me hehe

today after work i arrive home a happy chap all excited about my r33 which i'll b pikn up in the next 3 weeks when my dad say's guess wot? I say "umm i broke the gate" he says no worse.... you cant get the r33 because full comp insurance was 5k CHEAPEST!  

He just refuses to get a car without full comp which i think is bullsh*t!

He said we can look at a nice VS calais for the same price (16k) but it compares like chalk and cheese.

So now i feel like crawling in a hole and dying.........

ahhh dude, my heart goes out to ya

costs the same for me, bout 5-6k a year, cant afford it, im jsut a poor uni student! eheh

maybe u should get a n/a or a dif car for a lil

hey,

well i looked into getting a skyline but i ended up getting a silvia instead, a 1.8 litre turbo. Was ok, but got bored with it. i was going to sell it, but then i thought of the rb25det engine conversion.

Just cars say any mods are allowed. So putting the rb25det into the silvia is just a mod. I would pay the same for a 1.8 litre turbo, as for the rb25det. Makes me wish i bought the 1.8 litre non turbo silvia.

i think full comp is still like $2000+ plus, and third party fire and theft was $800. thats rating 6 though, so.....

Rabz3174: who does third party for your line...everyone I called wouldn't do third party...I figure my car is mostly illegal anyway...if I have a big shunt they aren't going to pay out if they look at the car so why have full comp....haven't had a shunt ever and saved enough to pay for new car by not having full comp.

Anyway..who does third party and how much??

Cheers

Russ

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
