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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
