insurance is really screwed for me, because im 17 its over 2gs a year to insure and whenever i put a mod on its like an extra 100 bucks ontop, i was gonna install a pod and they said yeah 110 extra because its a performance mod and the pod doesnt even cost half that,it was 109 extra for an exhaust and around 100 for a set of any rims worth 2gs so ill be in the range of 3gs once i finish doing it up hahah owell

who are you guys with?

and what car do you own?

Doesn't matter who you go with. At your age, they are all like that. Thats why I waited, just drove a normal four door lancer with no mods and no go. Now that I'm 22 I have a good insurance record and can acctually afford to keep my R33 insured :huh:

I still pay $1200 (with mods), but that will drop a bit this year.

I was gonna buy an R32 GTR, but Just cars quoted me just over 6K for a 12 month policy :angry: Settled on the R34.

I'm 19 & it cost me just over 2K, that's on a policy I've had since I was 17. To start a new one & I'd be paying the better part of $3500 I was quoted. Luckily I'm now in a job where I can afford it but 2K is still a bloody rip no matter which way you look at it :huh: .

haha i nearly didnt buy it vause they told me that i thought 2 years and i could own another one stuff that.

and its just an r33 rb25det with 18s tints system bov air filter zorst custom interior and little otha crap and yeah i nearly fell over thats not joke my boss was standin next too me and i told him straight away and he laughed and if just cars quoted over 6 for the gtr imagine nrma my mate whos 20 now 19 at the time had similar dramas with them so i told him just cars to get his wrx done

mate consider urself lucky. wen i was 18 i paid $4600 with just cars for my r33 gtst series 2. im 20 now and paying 2800 for my 32 gtr with famous.

i wudnt be upset with 2g's lol

yeah but mine is just a gts not even turbo:( but yea seeing what ryno qoutes me only had the car insured for a week

its not much a week really only around 45 bucks so its reasonable

oh ok dude my bad.. i didnt read the rest. non turbo ay?.

where did u find a rare 32 like that?.

hahah yeah its a GTS! imagine insurance for a gts-t... but yeah alls good cos i paid for the car so i just got insurance to pay aswell as rent and petrol :huh:

pretty lucky, my mates love it

yeah restrictions dont come in till july 1st neways found a guy who buys them from tokyo and resells them here its in good nick too only 91ks

damb over 2 grand for gts. im with just cars and i payed $2100 for gtst, im 20 but i losat my license as well before that for a year and that comes into play!

yeah couldnt afford a gts-t hahah so how long have you been with just car because the longer you stay the cheaper it gets right?

lol u guys r getting it easy

i got quoted 11k from nrma for full comp

n im paying 3k from just car (not so good driving record)

damn lucky im not with nrma hehe no one is dumb enough to pay that much you could buy another car for 11k my car didnt even come close to 11k

hey all

im 23 with a perfect driving record, im payin $1500 a year for my r34 with 19s worth $2300 an exhaust, suspesion, aftermarket diff, pod filter and a stezza worth 2000, so im doin ok, ive had cars with em before tho so i guess that might help oh opps its just car so u know

was 1440 until i got my wheels, and now its its a 26 600 agreed value 2 so not 2 bad

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
