hey, about to get my car soon, and trying to figure out which insurance company is the go, most likely to be 3rd party + fire and theft, but if full comp is not over the top, i shall consider it. I am 18, having just got my licence.

the car is a 1996 R33 Gtst Automatic.

Thanks for your help.

get full comp, can u afford to throw 15k in the bin?

if yes then get 3rd party, if no then get full comp

just cars will be your best bet

racv wont touch grey imports

btw manual is more fun and has better resale value

nah, paying cash, just got a quote from just car, $2973 !!! full comp

looks like its 3rd party + fire and theft - $540

i would have got a manual if i hadnt got such a good deal on the auto.

sports car + 18yr old = almost certain to do the inevitable. yes 3k for insurance is bloody expensive. i dont think u will get any cheaper though.

being 18 wouldnt that car be the most expensive thing you own? your better off forking out the full comp. i did. im glad i did

lol ineedy. meh, i cant afford 3 grand a yr atm, actually at any moment! i took out a 7 grand loan anyway. 3rd party + fire and theft is the only thing i can afford. i called shannons they said the dont insure anyone under 25 :)

and the rest hate skylines and other imports, bastards !!!

anyone know if i got a sound system (subs, splits, headunit, 6x9s, amps) would they be covered to??

cheers

Your sound system or anything else inside the car is not covered for theft.

And if your car gets stolen you will get $5000 - excess ($2250) - premium ($540) = $2210

Would you be happy with making a claim after paying your $540 premium and being told that you only get $2210 for your stolen pride an joy?

I dare say the sound system would probably be worth that much.

Go full comp... or get another car until you ar off your P plates. That way you will have (hopefully) built up some no claim bonus and will be paying less than $1500 a year.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
