In my opinion, you should just go with 3rd party insurance. $3k+ a year is going to be pretty bad. When/if you go 3rd party, just try not to do anything stupid on the road (yeah, I know it's easier said than done) because if you write your car off, that's it. The few seconds of that adrenalin rush is not worth it :D

Good luck with everything.

Just cars will charge you a helliva lot more to pay by the month or every 6months, can't remember exactly but i think 30% sounds right.

When i called up alianz pay by the month only increased the premium by $30

currently insured with just cars. paying $1130 down from $1480. car is insured with aftermarket front bar, cooler, zorst and sound system to $1000.

rand young and cool and guess what, 980 full comp, plus higher value on car, from 13 to 14.7k, also down goes excess to 1600 instead of 2100.

go with young and cool. but hey im 22 now so bit diff but in the last 3 yrs have had a license suspension and 2 x 3 dermerit point fines so might be similar.

otherwise ensure the car under a parents name and then have you as a nominated driver of less than 5% of the time. will be a little less expensive but you dont build a rating.

thats my 2 cents

I'm insured with Ryno Insurance, I think it’s about 1100 or 1200pa. and 1150 excess. Had a claim a few months ago, when someone ran into my front bar, and all went through fast and smooth. Got quoted 2200 from young and cool with 1600 excess. Just car quoted 1700 with 1400 excess. I don't think Ryno do people under 20.

You can't do that can you? I thought that they just ask for the youngest driver of the car and determine the price on that driver? It doesn't matter what other drivers there are, they just charge you according to the youngest driver?

It will end up cheaper if you put it down as you use the car 5%... so the insurance company think its "mum" driving it and you use it like once a month. But i know couple of people who have had claims with this and the insurance company came around to neighbours asking who drives the car etc...

Being a young driver with an import seriously restricts the range of choices you have, i'm full comp with just car and paying a little over 4K, and has to be paid in one go, apparently theres a few smaller specialised import insurance companies out there, could be worth some investigation, i know i'll be looking when my insurance comes round again!

I didn't realise you could put down that you drive the car 5% of the time. I don't have my licence yet, but I've done a few online quotes and I haven't seen anything about only driving the car 5% of the time so I'm kinda lost. I guess I should start to worry about insurance when the time comes.

Nothing wrong with looking ahead. Best to ring the insurance company, you should get more information from them then their site.

I dont know what insurance companies do it but i know they do. Might not be 5% but may be options like drives 2 hours a month etc.

My next door neighbour had it for his 300zx and then had a claim and they asked my dad who drove it. He was smart enough to say the parents.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
